God's word - The Work in the Age of Law
Almighty God says, “The work that Jehovah did in the Israelites established among humanity God’s earthly place of origin, His sacred place where He was present. He confined His work to the Israelite people. At first, He did not work outside of Israel; instead He chose a people He found suitable in order to restrict the scope of His work. Israel is the place where God created Adam and Eve, out of whose dust Jehovah made man; it is the base of His work on earth. The Israelites, who are the descendants of Noah and of Adam, were the foundation of Jehovah’s work on earth.
