5/5/2021 0 Comments Ezra Commentary722 BC: God sends Assyrians to deport the 10 northern tribes.
605 BC: First deportation of Israel by Babylon 597 BC: Second deportation of Israel by Babylon 586 BC: Third deportation of Israel by Babylon 539 BC: Cyrus the Persian overthrows Babylon. 538 BC: Zerubbabel leads the first return to Jerusalem. 458 BC: Ezra leads the second return to Jerusalem. 445 BC: Nehemiah leads the third return to Jerusalem. Ezra ("Jehovah helps") chronicles the story of the exiles, under the leadership of Zerubbabel and Ezra, returning back to their land, which they lost through their rebellion against their covenant-keeping God, who remains faithful to their survival. 5/1/2021 0 Comments Esther CommentaryOnce upon a time in the kingdom of Persia, there lived an orphan girl by the name of Hadassah ("Myrtle"), who by fortune, was taken in as an unofficially adopted daughter of her older cousin Mordecai, who are both from the tribe of Benjamin, the same tribe from where the first king of Israel hailed, under whose rule the Amalekite king Agag was hacked into pieces some 550 years ago.
Since 486 BC, a Persian king ruled in her days by the name of Ahasuerus, or Xerxes as the Greeks called him. 1/11/2021 0 Comments Exodus CommentaryMoses continues in this Season 2 of the saga of Israel, God's covenant people.
The throne of Egypt exchanges hands multiple times through dynasties that come and go. In 1525 BC, the year when Moses is born, Egypt is in the full bloom of its youth, a formidable world superpower to be reckoned with. The Egyptian memory of Joseph, the Hebrew slave who became the saviour of Egypt, is all but a distant legend. This is the beginning of mankind's story. The word "Genesis" comes from the Greek translation of the first book of the Scriptures, meaning "origins." This book is the first of the five-volume literary unit which is called the Law ("Torah" in Hebrew), written by Moses between the Exodus of Israel from Egypt and his death (1445 BC ~ 1405 BC). God gives the Torah to Israel and all the other peoples who will hear, in order to install in them an attitude of reverential awe for God, and teach them how they may restore their broken fellowship with God. The Torah is foundational to understanding everything in life, and the rest of God's spoken revelation, chiefly, how and why God sets out on His mission to restore His relationship with His estranged children and form an infinitely better relationship.
