1. Chosen people

   Throughout history, various groups of people have considered themselves to be the chosen people of a deity, for a particular purpose. The phenomenon of a "chosen people" is well known among the Israelites and Jews, where the term (Hebrew: עם סגולה / העם הנבחר, romanized: am segulah / ha-am ha-nivhar) originally referred to the Israelites as being selected by Yahweh to worship only him and to fulfill the mission of proclaiming his truth throughout the world. Some claims of chosenness are based on parallel claims of Israelite ancestry, as is the case for the Christian Identity and Black Hebrew sects—both which claim themselves (and not Jews) to be the "true Israel". Others claim that the concept is spiritual, where individuals who genuinely believe in God are considered to be the "true" chosen people. This view is common among most Christian denominations, who historically believed that the church replaced Israel as the people of God. Anthropologists commonly regard claims of chosenness as a form of ethnocentrism. The more extreme ethnocentric concept of a master race grounded in biological determinism, rather than metaphysical favouritism, is a common theme in many flavours of supremacism.

   Chosen people, in a general religious and theological context, refers to a group of individuals who believe they have been selected, preferred, or favored by a higher power or deity for a specific purpose, destiny, or mission. This term is often used to refer to the Jewish community, who in religious texts, are referred to as the chosen ones by God.

1. Chosen people

   Throughout history, various groups of people have considered themselves as chosen people by a deity for a purpose, such as to act as the deity's agent on earth. In monotheistic faiths, like Abrahamic religions, references to God are used in constructs such as "God's Chosen People". Modern anthropology regards these claims as a form of ethnocentrism, although religious authorities would argue that this is unfounded.
