 No, it's no surprise at all, because that's exactly what prophetic scripture says is going to happen. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament focus on Israel. And I've said this through the years, you never met a Hittite, a Hivite, an Amorite, a Jebusite, or any otherite, and yet everybody knows an Israelite. We know the people of Israel are still here, while all these other nationalities have long disappeared into the dustbin of history.
