History

Look at history.

Thousands of years ago there was human sacrifices.

Comes along Avraham and starts teaching a new idea. One G-d. It caught on pretty quickly, but only for a limited number of people. And it didn't have a permanent affect. Those people went back to doing their thing of like "yo' man! You mind if I sacrifice you?"

There the Jews are in Egypt. Not only has Avrahams students long forgotten this One G-d, now his family are also forgetting.

In comes Moshe Rabbeinu and Hashem taking us out of Egypt. The giving of the Torah. And we started a whole new mission. Change the world. Every man on this earth should believe in the One G-d. And keeping the 7 laws.

And we started at home. We learned the laws. We taught it to our kids. Until Shlomo Hamelech. We had transformed the world. But only our world. We hadn't gotten to every last person on the face of the planet.

Then Galus happens. Together with a few very significant developements. Jews are now going everywhere. And the world relegions adopt basic Jewish ideas and even our Torah. Yet they where still doing things like the Gladiatorial combats. Watching and actaully enjoying humans being ripped apart by animals.

And history continues with more wars, more killing and even more of that stuff.

Fast forward to today. You can go up to a non-Jew, tell him "Hey. You've heard about the 7 Noachide laws?" Not only does he not rip you to pieces on the spot, he's like "Tell me more. Much More."

And war? People are so sick of it. Could you imagine what people living not to long ago would think of us panic-at-the-sight-of-blood type guys?

And this is all besides the fact that by now so many single individuals have already had universal impact on people. Like America for example. Authors that their books are global best sellers. Companies that are household names globally. Including companies that have not existed 15 years ago!

So what does it already take for someone to give the right message that will just turn everyone around saying "This is just the coolest thing. Even better than facebook. And it truly makes me happy, makes sense and G-d really wants me to do it."

We haven't even spoken about the material and physical world. Like solar energy. Or what I can relate to a little better nuclear energy. If a couple of atoms can destroy a million people. How many atoms can it already take to supply 6 billion people with all the energy they need? Do you get my point?

So the question is, how on earth has this not happened yet?
