The Gentiles are chastised by the Lord for using the Bible with an attitude of ingratitude. It was indeed the Jews who produced the Bible but the Gentiles, historically, had treated the Jews with disdain. After the Roman Diaspora (70 AD) the Jews were again scattered all over the earth—amongst the nations of the Gentiles. For centuries they were persecuted as prophesied, thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway…thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee (Deut 28:33,37). One of the crowning examples of Gentile ingratitude is seen in the Holocaust. Jews among the Christian nations of Europe were slaughtered solely because they were Jews. Many of those who killed and persecuted the Jews at this time were staunch believers in the Bible. Thus, we see that the Gentiles should have been thankful to the Jews, they should have been seeking to reestablish them in the lands of their inheritance, and they should have been treating them as the Lord’s covenant people. Instead, they have cursed them, and have hated them, and have not sought to recover them.
