| As time progressed,
the Jewish people wished that they had stayed in Egypt. Conditions
were rough in the desert. When they turned to God, he provided them
with manna, a flat bread. Finally after wandering for forty years
in the desert, the Jews were allowed to enter the Promised
Land.
As history continued, many times the
Jews would turn from God, and then repent and be saved. This has
repeated itself time and time again. In fact, the Jewish people
should never have even come into being. Abraham, the father of the
Jewish people, and his wife Sarah had no children. It was only in
their old age that God allowed them to have a son. With this, the
Jewish people began to multiply as God had
predicted.
The Jewish people survived for thousands
of years without a national homeland. After being driven out of
Israel, the Jews did not return until after World War II when a
Jewish state of Israel was created for the survivors of the
Holocaust.
The Jewish religion has grown both in
population and the number of branches in Judaism. Today members of
the Jewish faith can be found all around the world.
