Popular Article: Chosen People
Various groups have considered themselves chosen by God for some purpose such as to act as God's agent on earth. The sense of being a chosen people occurs in both religious and nonreligious contexts. Specifically, in the Hebrew Bible, the phrase Chosen People refers to the ancient Hebrews/Israelites. As mentioned in the book of Exodus, the Hebrew people are God's chosen people and from them shall come the Messiah, or redeemer of the human race.
