GOD HAD SAID THE JEWISH PEOPLE
WOULD SERVE IN BABYLON FOR 70 YEARS
FOR THEIR REBE ION AGAINST HIS LAW.
JUST AS THE PROPHET JEREMIAH HAD PREDICTED,
AND IN RESPONSE TO THE KING’S EDICT TO REBUILD
THE JEWISH TEMPLE, AFTER 70 YEARS CLOSE TO
30,000 JEWS PREPARED TO LEAVE BABYLON.
THIS WAS THE FIRST OF
THR WAVES OF JEWS THAT
RETURNED TO JERUSALEM.
