By the time of Christ,... The Jew believed in one omnipotent God who, for reasons the wisest man cannot quite penetrate, permits, indeed wills, on earth the kind of struggle we mortals feel as the struggle between good and evil. He believed that God had chosen the Jewish people as the spearhead of good in this struggle, that, indeed, God had destined the Jews to lead mankind to its final victory over evil. For that purpose, he would send to guide them a very great man indeed, a new Moses, the Messiah who should build the New Jerusalem.

这段 as the spearhead of good in this struggle 用中国话可说会比较动听呢？
