THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS
Part 81: God Will Prevail |
|
|
God did not abandon the Jews when they were exiled to
Babylon. They were sentenced to spend 70 years in captivity, but
Jesus did not want them to be swallowed up by the Babylonian
culture. King Jehoiachin was an evil man, but he must have repented
in captivity and raised his sons with the knowledge of God because
King Cyrus appointed Shenazar to be Judah’s first governor after the
return from exile. Jehoiachin’s grandson, Zerubbabel, also became a
leader and was put in charge of rebuilding the temple. A remnant was
carried away in exile to Babylon where they prospered for 70 years
but only a remnant returned to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple. The
majority of the Jews in Babylon grew comfortable during their exile
and did not want to begin anew. They were sidelined by God and never
became part of the project to prepare Jerusalem for the arrival of
the Son of God. |
