I have grown tired of hearing some Jews saying the God of Israel is "our" God so the master of this universe doesn't belong to anyone else but them. Can you help me find all scriptures which "clearly" shows that God is the God of every human on this earth please? Main scripture I have only relied on is Isaiah 56.

I have grown tired of hearing some Jews saying the God of Israel is "our" God so the master of this universe doesn't belong to anyone else but them. Can you help me find all scriptures which "clearly" shows that God is the God of every human on this earth please? Main scripture I have only relied on is Isaiah 56. I take it you mean OT references, since you are talking to Jews. In Deuteronomy 7:6, God declared the people of Israel holy, chosen to be “a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.” So in one sense the Jews are more His people than He is their God. He is their God only as long as they worship Him alone, which is what the term means when someone claims Him (or any god) as “their God.” So in that sense, He is the God of anyone who worships Him and Him alone as their God. Genesis 22:18 (ESV) and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.” When Avraham came to God there were no Jews. God created them as a people to be a light to the Gentiles, drawing them to Himself: Zechariah 8:23 (ESV) Thus says the Lord of hosts: In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue shall take hold of the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’” The God of Israel remains sovereign over all men: Daniel 4:17,35, The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, the decision by the word of the holy ones, to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will and sets over it the lowliest of men.’ … all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?” So in that sense all men are His.
