Really?

After all that study of Abraham and all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed... Genesis 22:18...

I don't get it. Abraham's descendants - they mind their genealogies - have not been blessed. Israel (Ephraim, the 10 tribes), invaded Judah, 2 tribes. Assyria conquered Israel and Babylon conquered Judah. The next generation rebuilt, only under foreign rule, and only to be rousted out by the Romans. Eighty years ago - the Holocaust.

So, Abraham's descendants are finally back in the promised land. Name one nation that claims to be blessed. Jewish rabbis say their better way of living is available for the world to see. Who's looking? People, even some in the U.S., call for their extinction. 

My reputation depends on the truth. If Genesis 22:18 is not truth, I'm done blogging. Help! Do I have to climb Jacob's ladder to find help?
