Is there any sense in which God still favors/blesses ethnic Israel over and above other people groups? Galatians 3:28, "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus", so it seems that there is no ethnic favoritism. On the other hand, we have seen the Jewish people preserved through the centuries, and reestablished as a nation (at least in some sense) after they had been destroyed. What are your thoughts?
