Excerpt from The Annotated Bible
Verses 5-6. There was at once a response from the heads of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and Levites. What joy must have filled their hearts when they read the proclamation of Cyrus: What they had longed and prayed for had come at last. God was acting in their behalf and His promises were about to come to pass. It was the Lord who stirred them to action and to turn their faces towards Jerusalem. But not all were ready to go back.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating account of Jewish history, drawn from the Old Testament, chronicles the return of exiled Israelites to Jerusalem and the rebuilding of their sacred temple after 70 years of Babylonian captivity. Following the Persian conquest of Babylon, King Cyrus authorized the resettlement of Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel, a descendant of Israel's last reigning king. The book explores the efforts of Zerubbabel and the Israelites to restore the glory of Solomon's Temple, facing opposition from adversaries claiming shared lineage. The narrative highlights the spiritual revival ignited by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, leading to the completion of the Temple and its dedication in the sixth year of Darius' reign. Years later, the story shifts to Ezra, a priest and scribe, who receives authorization from King Artaxerxes to return to Jerusalem. Ezra leads a second expedition of exiles, overseeing a moral and religious reformation within the Jewish community. This book not only provides a historical record of the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the restoration of the Temple but also offers valuable insights into the themes of faith, obedience, and the enduring power of God's guidance.
