will discuss the Babylonian captivity, a major event from the history of Israel from the creation of Israel to its Statehood in 1948. This event will be discussed, from a historical as well as biblical perspective, what happened to the nation of Israel, how this event impacted the surrounding nations, as well as God’s hand in the event guiding the nation of Israel and His ultimate purpose through the event. God warned Israel before they entered the Promised Land that they will forsake Him and go

over courtrooms. The title Judge was derived from the sense of “judging” over Israel. Judges were looked at as selected rulers, leaders, and temporary special deliverers. They were sent by G-D with the purpose of liberating the Israelites from the hands of their oppressors; whoever that happens to be at the time. The way it is described by the Deuteronomic source is that anyone who applied G-D’s judgment to foes of Israel is to be considered a Judge. As read in the Hebrew Bible: judging is defined

the Judge over Israel-Samuel-anointed Saul as the Lord commanded him. The first two kings of Israel were Saul then David; these two characters set out for the new beginning of the Israelites. Here we will have a closer look at these two characters as well as their relationship with God and each other. It was written that Saul was a tall, handsome young man who comes from the tribe of Benjamin which was the smallest tribe of Israel. He was described to be the most handsome man in Israel; he stood head

called the chosen one, as he has the power to either bring the country to its glory, or bring ruin and devastation. Thus, throughout the history of Israel, the three kings – Saul, David, and Solomon – where all chosen by God, and each of them had contributed to the development of the nation. Before the time of the three kings, those who reign over Israel were the Judges. However, the beginning of 1 Samuel unfolded the fading of their era (New International Version). By the time the leadership lay in

Deliverance, Destruction. After the death of Joshua, the men of Judah and Joseph conquered their territory and drove out the Canaanites, being obedient, but all the other tribes did not. This signified a lack of trust in the Lord to fight their battles and was disobedient. Destroying idols was a part of the covenant and most of Israel did not do this and God cursed them. Because they had not destroyed the Canaanites, they would forever be in tension with them. The Israelites repented of their sins, but

The original twelve tribes that inhabited Israel previously shared the ark of the covenant, housing it in a tent in their territory during certain times of the year. The mobile, physical presence of God was directly associated with the fertility and safety of the tribe who housed it (Armstrong 1997: page 41.). Now that the tribes were united under one centralized monarchy and the ark was permanently housed in the temple, these tribes would have to travel from the corners of Israel to experience the

During The Roman Empire By: Deonna Weil Vance History 111 World Civilization before 1650 Professor Joseph Esposito August 20, 2014 In order to decorously portray the evolution of Judaism and Christianity the reader needs to know how Israel was conquered by the Roman Empire. The reader also needs to know how Christianity developed from the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Even though Christianity developed out of the Jewish religion both religions have their differences. Both religions

to come receive their blessings, and he predicts the future for the twelve tribes that will be established through them. These prophecies give way to the imminent manifestations throughout history of the twelve tribes of Israel. Jacob, also known as Israel, gives Judah a special blessing and prophecy for his “seed”, especially compared to his other brothers with the exception of Joseph. Judah’s divine blessing from Israel foretells of the royal lineage, military leadership, financial abundance,

complete number—of the church. Yet when taken at face value: “Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel” (Revelation 7:4), nothing in the passage leads to interpreting the 144,000 as anything but a literal number of Jews—12,000 taken from every tribe of the “sons of Israel.” The New Testament offers no clear cut text replacing Israel with the
