Podcasts about babylonian exile

Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi - on the messiah, and when he will come, with regard to the people awaiting his arrival. Including Eliyahu (Elijah), of course. Also, the birthpangs of the messiah - how many sages want the messiah to come, but only after they themselves die, so they don't have to suffer through it. But won't the messianic era be worth it? And won't their Torah study and acts of kindness protect them? With parallels between the entrance to the land of Israel from the Exodus of Egypt, vs. the return after the Babylonian Exile.

“Faithful in Exile” Daniel 1:1-14 March 23, 2025 Pastor John Choi  Sermon Application [file]   ----more---- Daniel 1:1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. [2] And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God. And he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and placed the vessels in the treasury of his god. [3] Then the king commanded Ashpenaz, his chief eunuch, to bring some of the people of Israel, both of the royal family and of the nobility, [4] youths without blemish, of good appearance and skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding learning, and competent to stand in the king's palace, and to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans. [5] The king assigned them a daily portion of the food that the king ate, and of the wine that he drank. They were to be educated for three years, and at the end of that time they were to stand before the king. [6] Among these were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah of the tribe of Judah. [7] And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego. [8] But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself. [9] And God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the chief of the eunuchs, [10] and the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who assigned your food and your drink; for why should he see that you were in worse condition than the youths who are of your own age? So you would endanger my head with the king.” [11] Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had assigned over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, [12] “Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. [13] Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the king's food be observed by you, and deal with your servants according to what you see.” [14] So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days.  God's people in exile fulfill His kingdom purposes by devoting themselves to His kingship and resisting worldly deception.     I.  The Exilic Experience of God's People    II.  The Context of Babylonian Exile (1-2)   III.  The World's Methods of Deception (3-7)   IV.  The Believer's Response to Worldly Deception (8-14)

In today’s message, we split the difference between the events in the last two sermons, from the construction of Solomon's temple and the construction of the new temple after the Babylonian Exile. In 2 Kings 22, we find young King Josiah, a descendant of David, through whom God brings another moment of revival and renewal that began with a renovation of Solomon's Temple. But the years of neglect of the physical temple was symptomatic of a deeper problem--Judah's neglect of their relationship with God, and forgetting about His Word. In this sermon, Josiah gives us a model for growing individually and as a church family, based on how we respond to God's Holy Word.

The oldest text in Leviticus, chapter 26, has a Seven Plagues story we did not know about. That chapter has the first rule of the Hebrew returnees in 538 BCE, with a warning: if you break it, Yahweh will bring Seven Plagues on the Hebrew returnees. Join our tribe on Patreon!

At long last, the Babylonian Exile is over! Thanks to the edicts of Cyrus the Great, the Jewish people have been released, allowing the reconstruction of Jerusalem as a client state of Persia. However, the state of affairs is far from perfect, leaving the inhabitants of the Province-Across-the-River uncertain about their families' future.

What is God's purposes when nations rise and fall in the earth? Israel's exile into Babylon offers us insight into how God orchestrates all things to restore worship back to Himself on the Earth.

December 13, 2024 Daily Devotion: "The Healer of the Brokenhearted" Psalm 147:3 New Living Translation 3 He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. Psalm 147:3 states, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." This verse highlights God's compassionate nature and His desire to restore those who are hurting. In a world filled with pain and suffering, it's essential to remember that God is always near to the brokenhearted. The context of this psalm reflects God's sovereignty over creation and His care for His people. Written after the Babylonian Exile, it reassures Israel of God's love and restoration. Just as He healed their land, He also heals individual hearts. Whether you're dealing with emotional scars or spiritual wounds, God is your healer. In our daily lives, we can find hope in this promise. When we experience grief, disappointment, or heartache, we can turn to God in prayer, asking Him to heal our wounds. This devotion encourages us to trust in His power to mend what is broken within us.  

Malachi taught in Israel about 100 years after the Babylonian Exile. The people had returned to the Land. The temple was rebuilt. The walls were rebuilt. Nevertheless, the hearts of the Israelites were not strong for God. They should have learned many spiritual lessons in captivity, but, ultimately, they were experiencing spiritual apathy. Join us as we introduce the prophet Malachi and discuss the need for heart restoration.

Chapter 10! A new mishnah - on the way documents are formally signed the details of their contracts within confirmed. With 2 kinds of documents - "regular" and "tied" - the signatures need to be as required for the details of the document itself to be valid. Plus, the need for 2 witnesses vs. 3 witnesses. Also, a discussion (by Jeremiah) of the Babylonian siege of the destruction of Jerusalem (the first time), God promises the return to the land - and the encouragement is buying land with documents so they have proof of purchase when they come back. These source verses are in the Prophets, which leads to the details they teach being rabbinic, as compared to a Torah verse. The bound documents merit their own additional scrutiny - unless they were common, or common for certain kinds of things. Also - how the signatures on the "tied" document worked (machloket!).

Scripture is shallow enough for a lamb to wade and deep enough for an elephant to bathe, so saith St. Gregory the Great. So for this episode, we'll do a shallow review of salvation history with little vignettes that show some of the depths to be plumbed.There are six main salvation history moments before Christ: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and the Babylonian Exile.

"Welcome to the Exile period! Jeff Cavins joins Fr. Mike to introduce the eighth biblical period, which covers the fall of the Southern Kingdom, Judah, and its exile into Babylon. They explain how the physical exile of Judah was representative of their spiritual realities, and ultimately oriented towards the healing and restoration of their unfaithfulness. We also learn about the role of prophets in this period." For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

After centuries of oppression, Yahweh takes the Hebrews out of Egypt. And the first thing they do is complain about being taken out of Egypt. Why?Desert Battle Story / Ezekiel (Exodus 14, verses:)4 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, "What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their labor!"5 So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him.10 As Pharaoh drew near, the Israelites looked back, and there were the Egyptians advancing on them. In great fear the Israelites cried out to Yahweh. 11 They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us, bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Is this not the very thing we told you in Egypt, ‘Let us alone so that we can serve the Egyptians'? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.” 13 But Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid, stand firm, and see the deliverance that Yahweh will accomplish for you today, for the Egyptians whom you see today you shall never see again. 14 Yahweh will fight for you, and you have only to keep still.”23 During the last watch of the night Yahweh overlooked the Egyptian armies in the form of a pillar of fire and smoke and he threw their armies into confusion.24 He jammed the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, "Let's get away from the Israelites! Yahweh is fighting for them against Egypt."29 That day Yahweh saved Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore.30 And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand of Yahweh displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared Yahweh and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant. Staff on the Stone Story / Ezekiel (Exodus 15 and then 17, verses:)22 So Moses led Israel into the wilderness, and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter. That is why it was called Marah.24 And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” *2 The people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Yahweh?” 3 But the people thirsted there for water, and the people complained against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and livestock with thirst?” 4 So Moses cried out to Yahweh, “What shall I do for this people? They are almost ready to stone me.” 5 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go on ahead of the people and take some of the elders of Israel with you; take in your hand the staff and go. 6 I will be standing there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may drink.” Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 He called the place Massah and Meribah,because the Israelites quarreled and tested Yahweh, saying, “was Yahweh among us or not?” Join our tribe on Patreon!

Parsha "Emor" (Leviticus 25:1-26:2) is both notable - for one specific English word - and also problematic, because it applies "in the land," where we're NOT any more, and arguably because it is even more foreign to our anti-Torah economic and 'world' system than almost anything else except the dishonest weight of the Almighty Fiat Dollar itself. But, 'Jubilee' we've HEARD of, even if to no real effect. And, again, what with the world melting down, and at the brink of civil and world war to boot, what would a REAL 'great reset' accomplish at this point anyway? First, the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/SSM-5-24-24-Behar-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 It seems clear from the reading that that one of the primary prerequisites of the 'shmita' rest for the land, and then the 50 year 'yovel' - or "Jubilee" - was TRUST: that Yahuah would actually do what He promised, so that His people would have sufficient provision for the rest years. Ultimately, history - and Scripture - shows they did not. We still don't. "Proclaim liberty throughout the land, and to all the inhabitants thereof," is the inscription on the Libery Bell in Philadelphia, and it comes from this parsha, Leviticus 25:10. But that's just one of the disconnects with Scripture today. A even bigger one has to do with the entire concept behind that verse. And a world economic system, based on an abomination to YHVH, that will soon demonstrate why His plan was so much better - because a 'reset' every 50 years beats societal collapse. THAT is virtually inevitable now. And the "Babylonian Exile," was said to be so that The Land could have its rest. Something that was commanded to be done, that wasn't. In contrast, much of this next judgment seems to be a function of things that He commanded NOT be done, that are. And are taught in schools, too, as a slap in His face.

The Babylonian Exile was a dark time for the Israelites. Jeff Cavins chose the color for this time period in the Bible Timeline because of the "blues" that the Jews were experiencing in exile, distant from God's presence in the Holy Temple. In this episode, Fr. Joseph Taphorn joins Jeff Cavins to explore the various ways in which modern Catholics may find themselves or their loved ones in a state of spiritual exile. Whether grappling with addiction, seeking deliverance and healing, or confronting the challenges of children straying from the Faith, Fr. Taphorn and Jeff Cavins offer timeless insights and practical guidance to help us navigate these trials and reclaim our role as ambassadors of Christ. Fr. Joseph Taphorn was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Omaha in 1997. After serving as a parish priest, he went on to study canon law at the Gregorian University in Rome and served in various leadership roles in the curia of the Archdiocese of Omaha for 15 years. Fr. Taphorn founded the St. John Paul II Newman Center in Omaha and served there for several years before accepting the invitation to serve as rector of The Saint Paul Seminary in St. Paul, MN in 2019.

It's a been a minute since we've had an episode that was solely scripture study, so today we want to dig into some specific passages about the generation in the Old Testament that lived through the Babylonian exile. They have a lot to teach the Church and Gen Z about what it looks like to inherit a society and a Church in ruin, and how to invite the Lord to join you to give you a future and a hope. Today we're looking at the young exiles in the book of Daniel, and in our next episode we'll be looking at Esther and her legacy among the diaspora. God did some amazing things in just two generations, so let's dig in.

Turning back over 2,600 years, we focus on a pivotal moment in the history of the people of God. Pastor Isaiah helps us understand the context and situation surrounding the Babylonian Exile and this powerful Old Testament Book from the pen of Daniel. Drawing the connections to today, we marvel at the God who is just as active here and now as He was in Israel and Babylon all those years ago.

In this story, we learn that God cursed his people for breaking their promise. ✧ Check out more resources in The Biggest Story Curriculum ✧ Follow The Biggest Story on Instagram ✧ Watch The Biggest Story Animated Videos! ✧ Sign up to receive weekly emails about the new story each week!

Transcript Address: https://share.descript.com/view/FvaWErT45PcJoin Garry Stevens (Historyinthebible.com) and I as we take a deep into not one, but two Minor Prophets from the Old Testament, Haggai and Zechariah. This episode was featured originally in Garry and my 12 part series on the 12 Minor Prophets of the Old Testament. I wanted to reintroduce this episode to recapitulate the literary background and context for the building of the Second Temple. These prophets were instrumental in getting the 2nd Temple of Jerusalem built after the Judeans were allowed to return after the Babylonian Exile. Will this 2nd Temple will be rebuilt? Maybe it will, maybe it won't. We'll even see a taste of the apocalypse or at least the apocalyptic literature genre.You can learn more about the History of Papacy and subscribe at all these great places: https://atozhistorypage.start.pageTo Subscribe: https://www.spreaker.com/show/history-of-the-papacy-podcast_1Email Us: steve@atozhistorypage.comSupport Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/historyofthepapacyParthenon Podcast Network: parthenonpodcast.comThe History of the Papacy on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@atozhistoryHelp out the show by ordering these books from Amazon! https://smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1MUPNYEU65NTFMusic Provided by:"Sonatina in C Minor" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)"Funeral March for Brass" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)"Crusade Heavy Perfect Loop" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Agnus Dei X - Bitter Suite Kevin MacLeaod (incomptech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Begin Transcript:This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4899207/advertisement
