Jews are supposed to be a "light unto the nations," to lead by example. People are supposed to be inspired by our actions, and by G-d's favor to us...with the hope that most of the rest of the world will come to acknowledge G-d's sovereignty over Creation, and act according to His word. This is the role of the Noahide laws (ask Zionist Conspirator about that, he is a Noahide). FYI, G-d forbids us to proselytize - and He must have his reasons.
Things don't always work out that way, us humans being fantastically imperfect beings and all. That is why it will take until the arrival of the Messiah for the rest of the world to acknowledge G-d's rule over everything.
Of course, you and I disagree as to which particular person the Messiah will be, and a few other issues, but I do believe that the ultimate ends of both faiths - lions laying down with sheep, swords being made into plowshares and the rest - are pretty much in line with each other.
They have been. The world has been blessed because of them. Can't say the same about muslims.

You are right. Even if Israel had went out and spread the message of G-D, people would have taken that and corrupted it.
But the thought that comes back to me is King Nebuchadnezzar. He went insane because he didn't acknowledge G-d as being omnipotent.
If G-d made his presence known to this king through Daniel, why not the rest of the world? It doesn't mean these gentiles had to be converted as Jews but they needed to learn who the real G-d is.

Very true.

I think what all this boils down to for me is that I'm ticked off at the state of the world and all the evil that's being committed. I see people abandoning their faith and becoming more and more secular. They lose sight of what is good and what is evil and tolerate demonic ideologies like Islam. I just want to see more people fight the good fight instead of staying quiet.
