For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed
of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in
your own estimation--that a partial hardening has
happened to Israel until the fullness of the
Gentiles has come in and so all Israel will be
saved just as it is written, The deliverer will
come from Zion, he will remove ungodliness from
Jacob. This is my covenant with them, when I
take away their sins. From the standpoint of
the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but
from the standpoint of God's choice THEY ARE
BELOVED FOR THE SAKE OF THE FATHERS FOR THE
GIFTS AND THE CALLING OF GOD ARE IRREVOCABLE. The

Who / What are the Judges ?
The book of Judges covers the time period between
Joshua and King Saul when Israel had no king.
The Lord wanted his people to follow his
instructions through the law and prophets, but
they always turned from him. Because of their
disobedience, God would subject them to foreign
powers. Afterward which, they would repent and
God would call a leader known as a Judge to
deliver them out of bondage.

1 Samuel 8 1 3 And it came about when Samuel
was old that he appointed his sons judges over
Israel. Now the name of his firstborn was Joel,
and the name of his second, Abijah they were
judging in Beersheba. His sons, however, did not
walk in his ways, but turned aside after
dishonest gain and took bribes and perverted
justice. 4 5 Then all the elders of Israel
gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah
and they said to him, "Behold, you have grown
old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now
appoint a king for us to judge us like all the
nations." 6 But the thing was displeasing in the
sight of Samuel when they said, "Give us a king
to judge us." And Samuel prayed to the LORD. 7
The LORD said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of
the people in regard to all that they say to you,
for they have not rejected you, but they have
rejected Me from being king over them. 8 "Like
all the deeds which they have done since the day
that I brought them up from Egypt even to this
day--in that they have forsaken Me and served
other gods--so they are doing to you also. 9
"Now then, listen to their voice however, you
shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the
procedure of the king who will reign over them."
15
1 Samuel 8 18 "Then you will cry out in that
day because of your king whom you have chosen for
yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in
that day." 19 20 Nevertheless, the people
refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and
they said, "No, but there shall be a king over
us, that we also may be like all the nations,
that our king may judge us and go out before us
and fight our battles." 21 Now after Samuel had
heard all the words of the people, he repeated
them in the LORD'S hearing. 22 The LORD said to
Samuel, "Listen to their voice and appoint them a
king." So Samuel said to the men of Israel, "Go
every man to his city."
16
1 Samuel 13 1 Sam 131 Saul was thirty years
old when he began to reign, and he reigned
forty two years over Israel.

1 Samuel 9 15 Now a day before Saul's coming,
the LORD had revealed this to Samuel saying, 16
"About this time tomorrow I will send you a man
from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint
him to be prince over My people Israel and he
will deliver My people from the hand of the
Philistines. For I have regarded My people,
because their cry has come to Me." 17 When
Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, "Behold,
the man of whom I spoke to you! This one shall
rule over My people."
19
1 Samuel 13 8 10 Now he waited seven days,
according to the appointed time set by Samuel,
but Samuel did not come to Gilgal and the people
were scattering from him. So Saul said, "Bring
to me the burnt offering and the peace
offerings." And he offered the burnt offering.
As soon as he finished offering the burnt
offering, behold, Samuel came and Saul went out
to meet him and to greet him. 11 12 But
Samuel said, "What have you done?" And Saul said,
"Because I saw that the people were scattering
from me, and that you did not come within the
appointed days, and that the Philistines were
assembling at Michmash, therefore I said, 'Now
the Philistines will come down against me at
Gilgal, and I have not asked the favor of the
LORD.' So I forced myself and offered the burnt
offering." 13 14 Samuel said to Saul, "You
have acted foolishly you have not kept the
commandment of the LORD your God, which He
commanded you, for now the LORD would have
established your kingdom over Israel forever.
"But now your kingdom shall not endure. The LORD
has sought out for Himself a man after His own
heart, and the LORD has appointed him as ruler
over His people, because you have not kept what
the LORD commanded you."
20

• 1 Samuel 16
• Now the LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you
  grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from
  being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil
  and go I will send you to Jesse the
  Bethlehemite, for I have selected a king for
  Myself among his sons.
• 11 And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are these all the
  children?" And he said, "There remains yet the
  youngest, and behold, he is tending the sheep."
  Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him
  for we will not sit down until he comes here."
• 12 So he sent and brought him in. Now he was
  ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome
  appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint
  him for this is he."
• 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and
  anointed him in the midst of his brothers and
  the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David
  from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went
  to Ramah.
• 14 Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from
  Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD terrorized
  him.

21

• 2 Samuel 5
• Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at
  Hebron and said, "Behold, we are your bone and
  your flesh.
• "Previously, when Saul was king over us, you were
  the one who led Israel out and in. And the LORD
  said to you, 'You will shepherd My people Israel,
  and you will be a ruler over Israel.'"
• So all the elders of Israel came to the king at
  Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them
  before the LORD at Hebron then they anointed
  David king over Israel.
• David was thirty years old when he became king,
  and he reigned forty years.
• At Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and
  six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned
  thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

2 Samuel 7 12 13 "When your days are complete
and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise
up your descendant after you, who will come forth
from you, and I will establish his kingdom. "He
shall build a house for My name, and I will
establish the throne of his kingdom
forever. 14 "I will be a father to him and he
will be a son to Me when he commits iniquity, I
will correct him with the rod of men and the
strokes of the sons of men, 15 but My
lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as I
took it away from Saul, whom I removed from
before you. 16 "Your house and your kingdom shall
endure before Me forever your throne shall be
established forever."'" 17 In accordance with all
these words and all this vision, so Nathan spoke
to David.
26
2 Samuel 24 18 So Gad came to David that day and
said to him, "Go up, erect an altar to the LORD
on the threshing floor of Araunah the
Jebusite." 19 David went up according to the word
of Gad, just as the LORD had commanded. 20
Araunah looked down and saw the king and his
servants crossing over toward him and Araunah
went out and bowed his face to the ground before
the king. 21 Then Araunah said, "Why has my lord
the king come to his servant?" And David said,
"To buy the threshing floor from you, in order to
build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may
be held back from the people." 22 Araunah said
to David, "Let my lord the king take and offer up
what is good in his sight. Look, the oxen for the
burnt offering, the threshing sledges and the
yokes of the oxen for the wood. 23 "Everything,
O king, Araunah gives to the king." And Araunah
said to the king, "May the LORD your God accept
you." 24 However, the king said to Araunah, "No,
but I will surely buy it from you for a price,
for I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD
my God which cost me nothing." So David bought
the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty
shekels of silver. 25 David built there an altar
to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace
offerings. Thus the LORD was moved by prayer for
the land, and the plague was held back from
Israel.

1 Kings 1 32 Then King David said, "Call to me
Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah
the son of Jehoiada." And they came into the
king's presence. 33 The king said to them, "Take
with you the servants of your lord, and have my
son Solomon ride on my own mule, and bring him
down to Gihon. 34 "Let Zadok the priest and
Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over
Israel, and blow the trumpet and say, 'Long
live King Solomon!' 35 "Then you shall come up
after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne
and be king in my place for I have appointed him
to be ruler over Israel and Judah." 36 Benaiah
the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said,
"Amen! Thus may the LORD, the God of my lord the
king, say. 37 "As the LORD has been with my lord
the king, so may He be with Solomon, and make his
throne greater than the throne of my lord King
David!"
29
1 Kings 3 4 The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice
there, for that was the great high place Solomon
offered a thousand burnt offerings on that
altar. 5 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon
in a dream at night and God said, "Ask what you
wish me to give you." 6 Then Solomon said, "You
have shown great lovingkindness to Your servant
David my father, according as he walked before
You in truth and righteousness and uprightness of
heart toward You and You have reserved for him
this great lovingkindness, that You have given
him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this
day. 7 "Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your
servant king in place of my father David, yet I
am but a little child I do not know how to go
out or come in. 8 "Your servant is in the midst
of Your people which You have chosen, a great
people who are too many to be numbered or
counted. 9 "So give Your servant an
understanding heart to judge Your people to
discern between good and evil. For who is able to
judge this great people of Yours?"
30
1 Kings 3 10 It was pleasing in the sight of
the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing. 11
12 God said to him, "Because you have asked
this thing and have not asked for yourself long
life, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor
have you asked for the life of your enemies, but
have asked for yourself discernment to understand
justice, behold, I have done according to your
words. Behold, I have given you a wise and
discerning heart, so that there has been no one
like you before you, nor shall one like you arise
after you. 13 "I have also given you what you
have not asked, both riches and honor, so that
there will not be any among the kings like you
all your days. 14 "If you walk in My ways,
keeping My statutes and commandments, as your
father David walked, then I will prolong your
days."
31
1 Kings 5 13 Now King Solomon levied forced
laborers from all Israel and the forced laborers
numbered 30,000 men. 14 He sent them to Lebanon,
10,000 a month in relays they were in Lebanon a
month and two months at home. And Adoniram
was over the forced laborers. 15 Now Solomon
had 70,000 transporters, and 80,000 hewers of
stone in the mountains, 16 besides Solomon's
3,300 chief deputies who were over the project
and who ruled over the people who were doing
the work. 17 Then the king commanded, and they
quarried great stones, costly stones, to lay the
foundation of the house with cut stones. 18 So
Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the
Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timbers and
the stones to build the house.
32
1 Kings 6 1 Now it came about in the four
hundred and eightieth year after the sons of
Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the
fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in
the month of Ziv which is the second month, that
he began to build the house of the LORD. 2 As
for the house which King Solomon built for the
LORD, its length was sixty cubits and its width
twenty cubits and its height thirty cubits. 3
The porch in front of the nave of the house
was twenty cubits in length, corresponding to
the width of the house, and its depth along the
front of the house was ten cubits. 4 Also for
the house he made windows with artistic
frames. 5 Against the wall of the house he built
stories encompassing the walls of the house
around both the nave and the inner sanctuary
thus he made side chambers all around. 6 The
lowest story was five cubits wide, and the
middle was six cubits wide, and the third was
seven cubits wide for on the outside he made
offsets in the wall of the house all around in
order that the beams would not be inserted in
the walls of the house. 7 The house, while it
was being built, was built of stone prepared at
the quarry, and there was neither hammer nor axe
nor any iron tool heard in the house while it was
being built.

1 Kings 9 1 2 Now it came about when Solomon
had finished building the house of the LORD, and
the king's house, and all that Solomon desired to
do, that the LORD appeared to Solomon a second
time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon. 3 The
LORD said to him, "I have heard your prayer and
your supplication, which you have made before Me
I have consecrated this house which you have
built by putting My name there forever, and My
eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. 4
5 "As for you, if you will walk before Me as your
father David walked, in integrity of heart and
uprightness, doing according to all that I have
commanded you and will keep My statutes and My
ordinances, then I will establish the throne of
your kingdom over Israel forever, just as I
promised to your father David, saying, 'You shall
not lack a man on the throne of Israel.' 6 7
"But if you or your sons indeed turn away from
following Me, and do not keep My commandments and
My statutes which I have set before you, and go
and serve other gods and worship them, then I
will cut off Israel from the land which I have
given them, and the house which I have
consecrated for My name, I will cast out of My
sight. So Israel will become a proverb and a
byword among all peoples. 8 "And this house will
become a heap of ruins everyone who passes by
will be astonished and hiss and say, 'Why has the
LORD done thus to this land and to this house?' 9
"And they will say, 'Because they forsook the
LORD their God, who brought their fathers out of
the land of Egypt, and adopted other gods and
worshiped them and served them, therefore the
LORD has brought all this adversity on them.'"
37
1 Kings 11 1 2 Now King Solomon loved many
foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh
Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite
women, from the nations concerning which the LORD
had said to the sons of Israel, "You shall not
associate with them, nor shall they associate
with you, for they will surely turn your heart
away after their gods." Solomon held fast to
these in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives,
princesses, and three hundred concubines, and his
wives turned his heart away. 4 5 For when
Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away
after other gods and his heart was not wholly
devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of
David his father had been. For Solomon went
after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and
after Milcom the detestable idol of the
Ammonites. 6 7 Solomon did what was evil in the
sight of the LORD, and did not follow the LORD
fully, as David his father had done. Then
Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the
detestable idol of Moab, on the mountain which is
east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the detestable
idol of the sons of Ammon. 8 Thus also he did
for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and
sacrificed to their gods.
38
1 Kings 11 9 10 Now the LORD was angry with
Solomon because his heart was turned away from
the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to
him twice, and had commanded him concerning this
thing, that he should not go after other gods
but he did not observe what the LORD had
commanded. 11 So the LORD said to Solomon,
"Because you have done this, and you have not
kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have
commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom
from you, and will give it to your servant. 12
"Nevertheless I will not do it in your days for
the sake of your father David, but I will tear
it out of the hand of your son. 13 "However, I
will not tear away all the kingdom, but I will
give one tribe to your son for the sake of My
servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem which
I have chosen."
39
1 Kings 11 9 10 Now the LORD was angry with
Solomon because his heart was turned away from
the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to
him twice, and had commanded him concerning this
thing, that he should not go after other gods
but he did not observe what the LORD had
commanded. 11 So the LORD said to Solomon,
"Because you have done this, and you have not
kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have
commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom
from you, and will give it to your servant. 12
"Nevertheless I will not do it in your days for
the sake of your father David, but I will tear
it out of the hand of your son. 13 "However, I
will not tear away all the kingdom, but I will
give one tribe to your son for the sake of My
servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem which
I have chosen."

A Kingdom Divided
Rehoboam does not listen to his advisors.
930 B.C.
41
1 Kings 12 16 When all Israel saw that the
king did not listen to them, the people answered
the king, saying, "What portion do we have in
David? We have no inheritance in the son of
Jesse To your tents, O Israel! Now look after
your own house, David!" So Israel departed to
their tents. 17 But as for the sons of Israel
who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam
reigned over them. 18 Then King Rehoboam sent
Adoram, who was over the forced labor, and all
Israel stoned him to death. And King Rehoboam
made haste to mount his chariot to flee to
Jerusalem. 19 So Israel has been in rebellion
against the house of David to this day. 20 It
came about when all Israel heard that Jeroboam
had returned, that they sent and called him to
the assembly and made him king over all Israel.
None but the tribe of Judah followed the house of
David.

1 Kings 12 25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the
hill country of Ephraim, and lived there. And he
went out from there and built Penuel. 26
Jeroboam said in his heart, "Now the kingdom
will return to the house of David. 27 "If this
people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of
the LORD at Jerusalem, then the heart of this
people will return to their lord, even to
Rehoboam king of Judah and they will kill me and
return to Rehoboam king of Judah." 28 So the
king consulted, and made two golden calves, and
he said to them, "It is too much for you to go up
to Jerusalem behold your gods, O Israel, that
brought you up from the land of Egypt." 29 He
set one in Bethel, and the other he put in
Dan. 30 Now this thing became a sin, for the
people went to worship before the one as far as
Dan.

2 Kings 6 In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king
of Assyria captured Samaria and carried Israel
away into exile to Assyria 7 - 8 Now this came
about because the sons of Israel had sinned
against the LORD their God, who had brought them
up from the land of Egypt from under the hand of
Pharaoh, king of Egypt 9 The sons of Israel did
things secretly which were not right against the
LORD their God. Moreover, they built for
themselves high places in all their towns, from
watchtower to fortified city. 10 11 They set
for themselves sacred pillars and Asherim on
every high hill and under every green tree, and
there they burned incense on all the high places
as the nations did which the LORD had carried
away to exile before them and they did evil
things provoking the LORD. 12 They served idols,
concerning which the LORD had said to them, "You
shall not do this thing." 13 Yet the LORD warned
Israel and Judah through all His prophets and
every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways and
keep My commandments, My statutes according to
all the law which I commanded your fathers, and
which I sent to you through My servants the
prophets." 14 17 However, they did not listen,
but stiffened their neck like their fathers, who
did not believe in the LORD their God. They
rejected His statutes and His covenant which He
made with their fathers and His warnings with
which He warned them. And they followed vanity
and became vain, and went after the nations
which surrounded them, concerning which the LORD
had commanded them not to do like them. They
forsook all the commandments of the LORD their
God and made for themselves molten images, even
two calves, and made an Asherah and worshiped all
the host of heaven and served Baal. Then they
made their sons and their daughters pass through
the fire, and practiced divination and
enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in
the sight of the LORD, provoking Him. 23 until
the LORD removed Israel from His sight, as He
spoke through all His servants the prophets. So
Israel was carried away into exile from their own
land to Assyria until this day.
45
2 Chronicles 11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years
old when he became king, and he reigned eleven
years in Jerusalem. 12 He did evil in the sight
of the LORD his God he did not humble himself
before Jeremiah the prophet who spoke for the
LORD. 13 He also rebelled against King
Nebuchadnezzar who had made him swear
allegiance by God. But he stiffened his neck
and hardened his heart against turning to the
LORD God of Israel. 14 Furthermore, all the
officials of the priests and the people were very
unfaithful following all the abominations of
the nations and they defiled the house of the
LORD which He had sanctified in Jerusalem. 15
16 The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent
word to them again and again by His messengers,
because He had compassion on His people and on
His dwelling place but they continually mocked
the messengers of God, despised His words and
scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the
LORD arose against His people, until there was no
remedy. 17 Therefore He brought up against them
the king of the Chaldeans who slew their young
men with the sword in the house of their
sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or
virgin, old man or infirm He gave them all
into his hand.

Approximately 722 B.C. ASSYRIAN
CONQUEST Israel crushed by Assyrians 10 tribes
exiled (Ten Lost Tribes). Approximatley 586
B.C. BABYLONIAN RULE Judah conquered by
Babylonia Jerusalem and First Temple destroyed
most Jews exiled to Babylonia. The Babylonian
conquest brought an end to the First Jewish
Commonwealth (First Temple period) but did not
sever the Jewish people's connection to the Land
of Israel.  The exile to Babylonia, which
followed the destruction of the First Temple (586
BCE), marked the beginning of the Jewish
Diaspora. There, Judaism began to develop a
religious framework and way of life outside the
Land, ultimately ensuring the people's national
survival and spiritual identity and imbuing it
with sufficient vitality to safeguard its future
as a nation.

Ezekiel 22 years prophet in Babylon The
Hebrew prophet Ezekiel, writing from his vantage
point in history, circa 537 BC, predicted that in
the last days, there would be a great war
involving not only Islam, but dragging an
unwilling Moscow along for the ride, as if God
had put 'hooks in its jaws', the prophet said.
Leading the Islamic alliance, according to
Ezekiel, is Persia, (modern Iran). Together with
the Islamic nations of North Africa and the
Mediterranean Middle East, Ezekiel says they will
constitute an invasion force that will move
against the nation of Israel. In Ezekiel's day,
there had been no nation called 'Israel' for
almost two centuries and no sovereign nation
called Israel would exist for another 2500 years.
Today, in 2006, Israel exists, as Ezekiel
predicted. Iran, Persia is Israel's sworn
enemy, as Ezekiel predicted. The Islamic world is
poised, waiting for an excuse to wipe Israel off
the map, as Ahmadinejad is promising to do if
Iran obtains nuclear weapons. Israel, facing the
potential of annihilation at the hands of a
nuclear Iran, will have to take action to stop
the Iranians as a matter of national survival.

Amos and Hosea Prophets to Israel
54
Amos 1 year - Israel Chapter 2 Amos
prophesies the Judgment of Judah and
Israel Chapter 3 All the tribes of Israel are
guilty and will be punished. This will be done
by being taken away by enemies and only a small
remnant will survive. Chapter 4 The people of
Israel have been unrepentant even though they
have been given many chances. Chapter 5 The
Lord says seek that you may live and warns that
he will make Israel go into exile. Chapter 6
Woe to those in Zion. The Lord swears by himself
that Israel will be offered up to a nation that
he rises up against them. Chapter 7 Amos
prophesies that the King of Israel will die, his
family scattered, and Israel will go into
exile. Chapter 9 Gods Judgment will be
unavoidable, but Israel will not be TOTALLY
destroyed.
Keep in mind the fact that Israel or Jacob in
this chapter refers to the Northern Kingdom
Amos 911-15 In that day will I raise up the
tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up
the breaches thereof and I will raise up his
ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old
. And I will bring again the captivity of my
people of Israel, and they shall build the waste
cities, and inhabit them and they shall plant
vineyards, and drink the wine thereof they shall
also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And
I will plant them upon their land, and they shall
no more be pulled up out of their land which I
have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
Note The tabernacle of David implies a UNITED
nation. The word for tabernacle literally means
booth, hut, tent a humble house.

Yours) Hos 110-11 - Yet the number of the
children of Israel shall be as the sand of the
sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered and
it shall come to pass, that in the place where it
was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there
it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of
the living God. Then shall the children of Judah
and the children of Israel be gathered together,
and appoint themselves one head, and they shall
come up out of the land for great shall be the
day of Jezreel. Chapter 2 Israels
unfaithfulness condemned and restoration

king, prince, sacrifice, sacred pillar, or
household idols. Thus representing their exile.

Israel will not go into Egypt again, but will go
into Assyria instead. He also states Judah is
guilty.

Isaiah 60 years Judah Chapter 53 The
suffering servant his visage was so marred more
than any man, and his form more than the sons of
menFor he shall grow up before him as a tender
plant, and as a root out of a dry ground he hath
no form nor comeliness and when we shall see
him, there is no beauty that we should desire
him. He is despised and rejected of men a man of
sorrows, and acquainted with grief and we hid as
it were our faces from him he was despised, and
we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our
griefs, and carried our sorrows yet we did
esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and
afflicted. But he was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities the chastisement of our peace was
upon him and with his stripes we are healed. All
we like sheep have gone astray we have turned
every one to his own way and the LORD hath laid
on him the iniquity of us all. He was
oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened
not his mouth he is brought as a lamb to the
slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is
dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken
from prison and from judgment and who shall
declare his generation? for he was cut off out of
the land of the living for the transgression of
my people was he stricken. And he made his grave
with the wicked, and with the rich in his death
because he had done no violence, neither was any
deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to
bruise him he hath put him to grief when thou
shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall
see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the
pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and
shall be satisfied by his knowledge shall my
righteous servant justify many for he shall bear
their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a
portion with the great, and he shall divide the
spoil with the strong because he hath poured out
his soul unto death and he was numbered with the
transgressors and he bare the sin of many, and
made intercession for the transgressors. -

decreed, is poured out on the one who makes
desolate." Chapter 12 The Time of the End Dan

prince who stands guard over the sons of your
people, will arise. And there will be a time of
distress such as never occurred since there was a
nation until that time and at that time your
people, everyone who is found written in the
book, will be rescued. "Many of those who sleep
in the dust of the ground will awake, these to
everlasting life, but the others to disgrace
and everlasting contempt. "Those who have
insight will shine brightly like the brightness
of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the
many to righteousness, like the stars forever and
ever.

Approximately 538 B.C. PERSIAN RULE Many Jews
return from Babylonia Temple rebuilt. Following
a decree by the Persian King Cyrus, conqueror of
the Babylonian empire (538 BCE), some 50,000 Jews
set out on the First Return to the Land of
Israel, led by Zerubabel, a descendant of the
House of David.  Less than a century later, the
Second Return was led by Ezra the Scribe. The
repatriation of the Jews under Ezra's inspired
leadership, construction of the Second Temple on
the site of the First Temple, refortification of
Jerusalem's walls and establishment of the
Knesset Hagedolah (Great Assembly) as the supreme
religious and judicial body of the Jewish people
marked the beginning of the Second Jewish
Commonwealth (Second Temple period).

Approximately 332 B.C. GREECIAN RULE Land
conquered by Alexander the Great Hellenistic
rule. As part of the ancient world conquered by
Alexander the Great of Greece (332 BCE), the Land
remained a Jewish theocracy under Syrian-based
Seleucid rulers. 
91
Approximately 166-160 B.C. Maccabean
(Hasmonean) revolt against restrictions on
practice of Judaism and desecration of the Temple
When the Jews were prohibited from practicing
Judaism and their Temple was desecrated as part
of an effort to impose Greek-oriented culture and
customs on the entire population, the Jews rose
in revolt (166 BCE). First led by Mattathias of
the priestly Hasmonean family and then by his son
Judah the Maccabee, the Jews subsequently entered
Jerusalem and purified the Temple (164
BCE). Approximately 142-129 B.C. Jewish
autonomy under Hasmoneans. Following further
Hasmonean victories (147 BCE), the Seleucids
restored autonomy to Judea, as the Land of Israel
was now called, and, with the collapse of the
Seleucid kingdom (129 BCE), Jewish independence
was again achieved. Approximately 129-63 B.C.
Jewish independence under Hasmonean monarchy.
Under the Hasmonean dynasty, which lasted about
80 years, the kingdom regained boundaries not far
short of Solomon's realm, political consolidation
under Jewish rule was attained and Jewish life
flourished.

your God will raise up for you a prophet like me
from among you, from your countrymen, you shall
listen to him. "This is according to all that
you asked of the LORD your God in Horeb on the
day of the assembly, saying, 'Let me not hear
again the voice of the LORD my God, let me not
see this great fire anymore, or I will die.
Deut 1817-19 "The LORD said to me, 'They have
spoken well. 'I will raise up a prophet from
among their countrymen like you, and I will put
My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them
all that I command him. 'It shall come about
that whoever will not listen to My words which he
shall speak in My name, I Myself will require
it of him.

Matt 2337 - 39 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills
the prophets and stones those who are sent to
her! How often I wanted to gather your children
together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under
her wings, and you were unwilling. "Behold, your
house is being left to you desolate! "For I say
to you, from now on you will not see Me until you
say, 'BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE
LORD!' Matt 241 - 2 Jesus came out from the
temple and was going away when His disciples came
up to point out the temple buildings to Him. And
He said to them, "Do you not see all these
things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here
will be left upon another, which will not be torn
down."

Approximately 313-636 A.D. BYZANTINE ERA By
the end of the 4th century, following Emperor
Constantine's adoption of Christianity (313) and
the founding of the Byzantine Empire, the Land of
Israel had become a predominantly Christian
country. Churches were built on Christian holy
sites in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Galilee, and
monasteries were established in many parts of the
country. The Jews were deprived of their former
relative autonomy, as well as of their right to
hold public positions, and were forbidden to
enter Jerusalem except on one day of the year
(Tisha b'Av - ninth of Av)to mourn the
destruction of the Temple.
