This is really, really, really important to understand.

If you read the Bible, you'll find that the lie that God promised the jews everything is easily exposed. I won't go over everything, but let me summarize their argument and why it is wrong.

1. Jews claim that they are the "chosen people" because they are descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob through Judah. While it is true that God blesses Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for their faithfulness to him, it is not true that the descendants inherit the same blessing. In fact, many of Abraham's children were not given the same inheritance that Isaac had, and Esau did not receive the blessing that Jacob received. In fact, the other sons of Jacob did NOT receive the blessing that Joseph received, for Joseph received ALL of the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and even more.
2. Jews claim that God will restore them to their land. This is simply false. God kicked the true descendants of Judah out of their ancestral lands because they worshiped the gods of the canaanites secretly. They were allowed to return to rebuild the temple but immediately after they got back they started worshiping the canaanite gods again. In fact, Jesus calls them out for worshiping the false gods and murdering the true prophets. If you read the promised blessings, it is clear that only the children of Judah who repent of their sins and worship Jesus will be allowed back into the lands, where they will find Gentiles have swarmed the land as their own inheritance. Why are the Gentiles living in their ancestral lands? Because the Gentiles, through their faithfulness, have received it as part of their promised blessing.
3. Jews claim that Gentiles must help them restore their kingdom. This is simply absurd. God promised that the *righteous* descendants along with the Gentiles will be restored, and that the *righteous* people will be helped by the Gentile kings. The jews who reject Jesus are truly cut off forever.

It is true that the earliest Christians were living in Judea alongside the ancestors of the jewish religion. However, when Jesus came and restored the true teachings and doctrines and practices of the religion that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob kept (and indeed the source of all religion of the rest of the world -- which is why so many Gentiles almost instantly "converted" to Christianity). Christianity is the religion of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Christianity is the true root and branch. Judaism started hundreds of years later when the so-called "jews" (really, judeans, inhabitants of the province of Judea) were cast out of the Roman Empire and cut off from their temple decided to collect all of the oral traditions (most of which were actually remnants of the ancient religion of the canaanites) and compile it into a book called the Talmud.

The only people on planet earth who have a rightful claim as a descendant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are the Christians. Only those who accept Jesus Christ can possibly be considered God's chosen people.

And what did God tell Christians to do? To take over the world? To torment the nations? No, we were commanded to go out and baptize the world and preach the gospel. In this minecraft analogy, Christians were commanded to show up in the server, find all the monsters and teach them about Jesus, and ask them to receive Jesus in their life. That's it.

Minecraft needs a mod where instead of killing the ender dragon, you make it convert to Christianity.
