Judah was not the only nation that had been taken captive to Babylon, others escaped to Egypt and parts unknown. However God was not finished with the tribe of Judah. In the Old Testament He had revealed through the prophets how He would reconstruct the nation of Israel after the desolation of the land. Towards the end of the Old Testament period it reveals how God reestablished His nation. In 586 B.C., King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had overthrown Judah, and the land was in ruins, and the people
1. The idea of a “shaped” Psalter The Psalter offers us a collection of 150 separate texts. We now examine how the individual pieces have been marshalled and arrayed in groups, to see if we can gain from the internal patterns any insights into the function of the Psalter as a whole. 1.) The extremities, the beginning and the end of the Psalter, are occupied by texts 1 and 150. Psalm 1 receives the reader with an opening blessing.

The area where the temple was is in Palestine. The purpose is to show the long and slow process connected with the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the restoration of Israel after the Babylonian captivity

For us to have a firm grasp of the first two points, we must look at the events that happened that made a need to rebuild the temple and the wall. In the year 586 B.C., the Babylonians conquered Judah. Jerusalem was reduced to ruins. The Jews were carried away into captivity.

outline the cruelty and loyalty to the Lord when it comes to following the word of the Lord. While Joshua 10-11 describes how Joshua and the Israelites came into the land of the Canaan, Judges 1 tells about how the tribes of Judah and Simeon conquer the land.

Journal Week Eight As I read through our assigned chapters this week, I couldn 't help but think about what could have been. What if the nation of Israel (and Judah later on) would have truly followed after God? What if they would have submitted to His divine kingship, instead of the fallacious leadings of men? What if the children of the Lord would have "inclined their hearts" to His words, and not devoted themselves to forbidden idolatry? Time and time again, the choosen nation of Israel turned
As a one reads through the Old Testament, he will find the story as it unfolds of the children of Israel. Beginning in the book of Exodus the children of Israel are in Egyptian bondage and being forced to work as slaves. God appears to Moses in a burning bush and tells him that He [God] has heard His people and He is going to deliver them out of bondage. God at that time tells Moses that He has chosen him to be the leader of this people. After God brings ten plagues against Egypt the children of
There are four terms used to describe those who believe in the religion of Judaism “Hebrew, Israelites, Judeans and Jews.” These terms frequently are incorrectly used as an alternate name for each other, but instead should be used to describe the evolution of Judaism.

people. This symbolism fits in perfectly with House of Judah and the House of Israel who were called out of Egypt and to be God’s people. These two houses can be seen in the 144,000 sealed tribe members. These 144,000 servant s will form the two witnesses. One question that arises is, why is the tribe of Dan missing? In Genesis 49, Israel gives deathbed prophecies to all his sons regarding their fate in the “last days.” The prophecy for the tribe of Dan explains the reason why he is not included as
uphold the covenant with YHWH. The exile began from a revolt in Judah that led to conquest by the Babylonians in 598 B.C.E. The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, the Holy City for the people of Judah, was the aftermath of this happening.

Europe and much of Western Asia. They were to have a significant impact upon Palestine in the two testament eras (Old and New). Around 3000 B.C. tribes from different areas of Europe and Asia formed small towns and farming communities in mountain pockets of the Italian peninsula. The rough shape of the Apennine Mountains allowed many of these small tribes to exist separately. Some of them had migrated to Italy from areas north of the Black and Caspian seas. Historians call these people Indo-Europeans
