Israelite Loss Of Power

The Israelite civilization dates back to between 1300 and 1200 BCE when they settled in Canaan from Mesopotamia. This was considered their homeland. The Israelites developed from the Cannanites, since their civilizations began together along with the Jebusites. They faced a lot of struggles, but after migrating to Egypt, and being separated into two kingdoms, they kept the faith that they would someday return to their homeland. The greatest achievements of the Israelites was their architecture, monotheistic religion, Ten Commandments, and their military. However, they were not enough to save the civilization. They fell due to the decline in leadership within the civilization, and attacks and conquest from the Assyrians and Babylonians.

What does this text suggest to us about the structure of politics in Ancient Egypt (for example, does it make it look like the king has absolute power)?

If you were surrounded by enemies and had no home, to where would you run? The fact is that this very question became a quandary for Jews, especially Zionists, long before the genocides of the Holocaust. In the decades before World War II, Jews sought a place to idealize their faith unhindered and away from governments and societies that ran against their operations. While they tried to assimilate with the cultures around which they lived, they stumbled more often than they soared. Appropriately enough, the international bodies that discussed this issue would consider both entirely separate and similar problems. They would encounter their own answers to the questions that the Jewish populations were facing, and it cannot be stressed

The Ancient Egyptians thought that it was very important to keep the Gods happy and make sure there every need was cared for, in return for good crops, health and warfare.

This historical path in which the Israelites had to endure taught them to fully trust in God and to always have faith in God. During this historical path, one can also learn a theological message behind the lives of the Israelites as one reads the book of Joshua. Just to take a step back a book in the Bible Deuteronomy one can read that the Israelites would complain about anything that they could think of, they would rebel against the Lord, and they would worship idol gods. Since God is so grateful and forgiving, God did not turn his back on his chosen generation. Leading the reader to Joshua, God had to do some drastic things to his people such as allow the Israelites to wander in the wilderness for forty years, but God was still with them

In an ever growing region of hostility and religious warfare, The United States has yet again placed itself in the spotlight of all major talks in the Middle East.

Trump gave a proclamation that is to have the U.S. recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel and to relocate the United States embassy of Israel to the newly announced location. “The foreign policy of the United States is grounded in principled realism, which begins with an honest acknowledgment of plain facts.

The key episodes that established leadership among Israel are the accounts of their tribulations while in the wilderness and God’s responses. Starting in Number Chapter 11 the Israelites are beginning to complain about their misfortunes. It was not clear to scholars whether the Israelites were complaining to Moses or to God. Either way God herd their complaints and took it as if they were toward him. In return to their complaints God “burned against them”. “Then the fire of the Lord burned against them. And consumed some outlying parts of the camp”. Mosses then asked God to cease the fire in prayer and God did. “But the people cried out to Moses; and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire abated”.

P and S: “egyptians believed that the pharaoh bore full responsibility for the kingdom’s well-being. It was the pharaoh who caused the sun to rise, the nile to flood, and the crops to grow. It was the pharaoh’s duty to promote truth and justice.” (37)

Egyptians used religion to explain the mysteries and worries of daily life in the Ancient World. At the heart of their theological beliefs was the idea of Maat, which was the “rightful order of the universe, established by the gods at the beginning of time.” Maat was critical to human life involving ideals of truth, justice, and moderation, but if it were lost, the country would experience Isfet, meaning chaos. Pharaohs were very powerful, controlling every aspect of everyday life, and was also responsible for Maat. He accepted praise when times were prosperous, but also took responsibility when years were unsuccessful.

I chose 2 Kings verse 19,1-37 verses. I've read these verses several times throughout my life and I still stand in awe about how God keeps his word and protects us even when we are disobedient and undeserving of his grace and never ending mercy. I sometimes have become as the Israelites were in this chapter where I didn't serve God as I should until a crisis came up in my life and then I had to call on him. The Israelites in this chapter had not been serving and praising God as they should and when the Assyrians under the evil king Sennacherib came to attack and destroy them, God would not hear them. Only when the King of Israel,Hezekiah prayed to God did God listen because he was a righteous man of God. I see that even
