In the case of Joshua, God chose him (Numbers ch.27), so it was a fact that did not need speculation. In other cases, God told them that He would provide prophets (Deuteronomy 18:15), and referred to the fact that there would always be sages among them (Deuteronomy 17:8-9), and Torah-learners (Deuteronomy 31:21).

Was the State of Israel created for God's Chosen People?
Answer 1The Jewish answer is Yes; though I imagine there are others who would answer differently.Answer 2The assumption implicit in the question is that the term "God's Chosen People" is a clearly defined term. Israel is definitely a state created by and for the Jewish People; this is not in dispute. Whether the Jews are "God's Chosen People" is debatable. As Answer 1 notes, it is the Jewish perspective, as well as the perspective of the majority of Christians, that Jews are God's Chosen People. Other Christians hold that the rejection of Jesus made God relinquish his "chosen-ness" from the Jews and placed it on the Christians. Most Muslims believe that due to Jews' and Christians' failure to believe in Mohammed's prophecy, that the God relinquished his "chosen-ness" from them and gave it to the Muslims.Of course, in many other religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Shenism, African Folk Religions, etc. there is no concept of a "God's Chosen People". Atheism argues that there is no reason to believe that any god/God would chose people.============================Alternative Proposed Answer, for Discussion:No. It was created BY them.
