Conflict in Israel has been a reality whenever Israel has existed as a nation. Whether it was the Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians, or Romans, the nation of Israel has always been persecuted by its neighbors. Why is this? According to the Bible, it is because God has a special plan for the nation of Israel, and Satan wants to defeat that plan. Today, Pastor Ken will explain that satanically influenced hatred of Israel is the reason Israel's neighbors have always wanted to see Israel destroyed.

In keeping with our intensive study of Israel's history this year, Jenny and I have concentrated our attention on the Exilic and Post-exilic prophets. We've included Jeremiah in this list, even though he spans the immediate pre-exilic period, leading up to the Babylonian exile. The most enigmatic exilic prophet, most certainly, is Ezekiel. His name means "God's strength." We encourage our listeners to struggle with Ezekiel's difficulty, as we believe God has a great deal of undiscovered meaning in this text. Some of the most exciting references, for me, are those to his contemporary prophet-in-exile, Daniel (Ezekiel 14:14, 20 and 28:3). He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

The ancient people of Jerusalem hit their rock-bottom in 587BC, seen in their horrific conquest by the Babylonians and in their resulting captivity. There is no question that the things God's people endured were awful…but there was also no doubt that God was still God. He was still good, and His people could still turn […]

The Lord is slow to anger, but His patience with religious hypocrites does not last forever. Today, Barry Cooper considers what Israel's exile into Babylon teaches us about the danger of becoming complacent with our sin.

The prophetic books of Jeremiah, Daniel and Ezekiel mark a radical change in the life of God's people, Israel. Starting with Jeremiah, the Babylonian exile is predicted, and then experienced. Daniel is taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar during Jeremiah's ministry, and after the 586 BC fall of Jerusalem, Ezekiel is called by God to minister to Israel in exile. Indeed, these prophets were aware of each others' ministries, and God's voice in them. Twice Ezekiel refers to Daniel (14:14 and 28:3), and Daniel mentions Jeremiah's prophecies (Daniel 9) as a source of his own prophetic ministry. Reading Jeremiah should be a learning experience par excellence, as getting clear on all its details and references - seeking to understand the discoveries of biblical archaeology that relate to it, and all the history of Israel, including the two kingdoms, their kings and their successes and failures, their faithfulness and their apostasy - sets one up to understand both the whole progression of scripture from Genesis to Revelation, and God's plan of salvation set in place "before the foundation of the world." Listen and read with a mind open to God's voice. Search the scriptures to answer the questions you encounter, search the archaeology to display the truth of God's word verified, search the language to understand better the nuances of God's meaning. Read/listen carefully, reverently and inquisitively, and God will show you amazing things! You have HIS promise on that!

The Second Temple period will look at the Jewish rebellions, including the Maccabees against the Greeks, the Jews against the Romans, Bar Kochba's reconquest of Jerusalem, and the splintering of Jewish society into numerous Jewish sects.  We will discuss the significance of the development of the Talmud and the Dead Sea Scrolls.  Also considered will be Jesus' Jewish identity and the beginnings of Christianity emerging from Judaism.

THE SHOWDOWN on Mount Carmel is even more spectacular than we've been taught. The story is sensational on its surface: The prophet Elijah, one of the few prophets of God still active in the northern kingdom of Israel, tells King Ahab to his face that there will be no rain until Elijah says so. Then he flees from the king and hides out for three years. During that time, the prophet was fed by ravens at the brook Cherith somewhere east of the Jordan until the drought caused the stream to dry up. Then Elijah traveled to Phoenicia and lodged with a widow of Zarephath in the region of Sidon. Because of the famine, she was prepared to make one last meal and then starve to death with her son (or children, according to the Septuagint). Miraculously, the woman did not run out of flour or oil during the entire time Elijah stayed with her. The account of the miracle of Elijah bringing the widow's son back from the dead has a deeper meaning when you understand a little of the religion of the Phoenicians (who were Canaanites, which in turn is just a geographic designation for the Amorites in Canaan). The patron deity of Sidon was Eshmun, the Phoenician name for the Greek demigod Asclepius. The Greeks believed Asclepius was the half-divine son of Apollo, a healer of such skill that he was able to cure death. (This led Hades to complain to Zeus that Asclepius was disrupting the natural order of things, so Zeus killed Asclepius.) The point is this: God, through Elijah, demonstrated that He, Yahweh, was the one God who truly has power over life and death. Likewise, Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal has a deeper meaning. This was a literal battle between Yahweh and the Baal worshipped by Jezebel and her pagan father, Ethbaal, king of Tyre. Ethbaal was a priest of Astarte, the Canaanite version of Ishtar, the Babylonian goddess of sex and war (which explains a lot about Jezebel). The kicker is that the Baal of Tyre was probably Melqart, which was the Phoenician name for Herakles—better known to us as Hercules. This explains some of Elijah's taunts while Jezebel's prophets danced, shouted, and cut themselves to summon their small-G god. It also helps us understand why Elijah had twelve vessels of water poured over the sacrifice and the wood on the altar. It didn't just represent the twelve tribes of Israel and make the sacrifice more difficult to burn, it mocked a libation (drink offering) ritual called yarid that is documented in Jewish and Roman texts and inscriptions as late as the 3rd century AD, when Emperor Diocletian performed the yarid at Tyre for Hercules! This also connects to Mount Hermon, where scholars Edward Lipiński and Charles Clermont-Ganneau noted, based on the site drawing by Sir Charles Warren in 1869 (when he discovered the Watcher Stone in a temple near the peak of the mountain), that the summit of Hermon is scooped out like a giant bowl—probably to receive these offerings. Lipiński wrote that this means the Watchers, led by Shemihazah, did not descend in the days of Jared, but in the days when the yarid was performed on the mountain. So, Elijah's actions on Mount Carmel were directed not just at Baal or Melqart/Hercules, but at the “sons of God” who long ago tried to take dominion of Earth away from the children of Adam and Eve.

Join host Jeff on Right on Radio as he delves deep into the intricate narrative of the Book of Esther from the Bible. Bringing a fresh, unique perspective to this classic story, this episode kicks off a two-part mini-series, blending biblical texts with contemporary insights and unexpected twists. Jeff promises to showcase the real world, both visible and invisible, through the lens of Esther's story, interpreted in a new light. In this episode, Jeff explores the controversial and unspoken connections between the biblical account and current events, deftly weaving in the geopolitical and spiritual implications. He sets the stage by discussing the unseen aspects of modern-day practices, as well as historical revelations, to support his bold claims. Listeners will be introduced to the key characters, Mordecai and Esther, whose names may suggest deeper, ancient associations with Babylonian deities. This deeper dive prompts new questions about identity, faith, and the veiled exercises of power. Esther's name, which is akin to Ishtar, and Mordecai's association with Marduk, hint at hidden meanings in this epic tale. As Jeff reads through the chapters, the story of Esther unfolds, revealing political plots, divine providence, and a potential purge. The invisible hand of God is at play, even as His name is curiously absent from the text, raising inquiries about prayer, faith, and destiny. This riveting exploration challenges traditional interpretations, inviting you to reconsider everything you've been taught about the Book of Esther. Listen as Jeff postulates new theories about this ancient scripture and applies them to the current socio-political landscape, urging the audience to 'live right in the real world'.

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The history from the times of the patriarchs to the Babylonian exile is outlined. Although the relationships between Jew and Gentile were often hostile, they were not necessarily so. Some Gentiles came to be associated with the promises which God made to Abraham, through their faith. To this day Gentiles can share in these blessings through belief and baptism into the things concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ.# SummaryThis PRESENTATION delves into the history of the nations surrounding Israel, focusing on groups such as the Philistines, Phoenicians, Syrians, Kenites, and the descendants of Abraham, including the Amalekites, Moabites, and Ammonites. It explores their origins, interactions with Israel, and the impact of their relationships on the biblical narrative. The speaker highlights both the conflicts and alliances formed between these nations and Israel, emphasising the overarching theme of redemption and faith in God's plan, exemplified through figures like Ruth and Naaman.

Pastors Ben and Tony talk about navigating public schools.

How the Bible Was Formed E1 — If you've ever compared a Protestant Bible to a Catholic Bible, you may notice some additional books in the Catholic Bible, such as Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, etc. These books, called the Deuterocanon by Catholics and the Apocrypha by Protestants, are Jewish Literature from the period after the Babylonian exile but before the time of Jesus. The Jewish people were back in the land, being ruled by Syria and other empires descended from Alexander the Great. As they read the Hebrew Bible, they created many new literary works, reflecting on stories in Scripture and what was happening in their own day. So how do we understand the status and value of these books when compared to the Hebrew Bible and New Testament? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the background, history, and content of this Second-Temple Jewish literature.CHAPTERSMultiple Bibles on the Shelf (00:00-21:10)History of the Protestant Apocrypha (21:10-34:35)How Jesus and the Apostles Engaged With These Books (34:35-43:05)Why We're Talking About the Deuterocanon/Apocrypha (43:05-57:36)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Old Testament Pseudepigrapha by James H.

Humans have limited understanding of our world and the world beyond; not that we're unintelligent—far from it. The Bible makes it clear that God gave man a sound mind, and from the beginning, people were capable of accomplishing amazing things. The construction of the great pyramids, modern scientific advances, and our knowledge of the cosmos is a testament to how much humans can know and achieve. We're even capable of presenting truth in various ways through art, teaching, and moral agendas, but man's abilities are finite. There is One, though, that claims all truth: the person Jesus Christ. John 1:17 says, “For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” In other words, man has been capable over time of building structure and order in society. Around the time of Moses and the 10 Commandments and the laws that govern the Israelites, other cultures were doing somewhat similar things. The Code of Hammurabi, a set of Babylonian laws, helped create a functioning society, and in 1254, the Magna Carta, a set of English laws that was the forerunner of the Declaration of Independence, brought England out of the Dark ages. Yet the Bible is very clear that ultimate truth, the sum of all reality, is found only in Jesus Christ. It is in Him that we unlock the mystery of who we are as individuals. He knows each of us, and invites us into relationship with him. People all over the world follow their own set of rules. It's often said that truth is true if it's true for you, meaning of course that each of us has the right to follow his or her own reasoning. For example, to a person who frees himself from moral constraints, love can mean many things.  In 2 John 1:6 we read, “And this is love, that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you've heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.” Do you see the difference? We can tell ourselves anything; that love, for example, can have many definitions, but God tells us in His Word that true love is being obedient to our Creator. In the end, the world is full of philosophies and opinions of men. Some see truth differently, but only in the Bible do we find true truth. For Jesus Christ is the ultimate truth. Let's pray. Father God, the world can be a dangerous place. Help us to continue relying on you and as our ultimate source of truth so that we can make the best for us and our families.

Send us a messageAs the Prophetic Word of God reaches a crescendo in this last hour in the earth, the Holy Spirit is about a Sacred work of Separation: Truth from falsehood – the Genuine from the counterfeit – and the Wheat from the tares. And as the Global Empire of the Antichrist pushes forward to its last stages of completion, the “One World Religion” is leading the charge, with Roman Catholicism playing a vital role as it draws every other false way into its ecumenical web of deception. In this video series, we uncover the roots of this Babylonian counterfeit to genuine Christianity with the desperate plea to “Come Out of Her!” while there is still time to do so.

It is important to understand the seventy weeks of years in Daniel to interpret end-times prophecy.  Sixty-nine of those weeks have been fulfilled, beginning at the time the command was given to rebuild the city of Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity, and culminating at the crucifixion of Christ.  There is a gap of time until the time of the Gentiles is complete; then the seventieth week of years will begin.  In those last seven years, Antichrist will come to power.

The Babylonian Talmud and Late Antique Book Culture (Cambridge UP, 2023) argues that the Talmud must be read and understood in the broader context of late ancient discursive and material contexts of books, rhetoric, and technology. As Dr. Amsler's work reveals, the structure and form of the Talmud point to knowledge and mastery of rhetorical training and book production technologies they share with other late ancient books and literary compositions. Her project focuses on understanding this late ancient milieu and how the compilers of the Talmud might have thought of their own literary and compositional practices involved in the work of moving from scraps and excerpts from medical texts, commentaries, speeches, dialogues, and other source material to more composed and rhetorically stylized commentaries on lemmas from the Mishnah. Through attention to the materiality of production and composition as well as rhetoric, Dr. Amsler's book challenges traditional narratives of the oral transmission of the Talmud. As The Babylonian Talmud and Late Antique Book Culture demonstrates, the traditional orality hypothesis misses this complexity and fails to consider the Talmud as enmeshed in late ancient book and aesthetic practices. Beyond the formation of the Babylonian Talmud, however, the book is relevant for anyone interested in ancient book production and data management processes.

Micah Dank arrives at the Virtual Alexandria with news that your servitude to Archons is more oppressive than imagined. The Bible and all ancient holy texts can be viewed as encoded astrology books. This includes texts from the Sumerians, Babylonians, Egyptians, and the Abrahamic traditions, as well as the Gnostic texts, the Quran, the Book of Mormon, the Kolbrin Bible, and the Ethiopian Bible. This perspective highlights an ancient and often overlooked conspiracy, suggesting that elites have been using the zodiac to exert control over humanity for the past 6,000 years.

The prophetic books of Jeremiah, Daniel and Ezekiel mark a radical change in the life of God's people, Israel. Starting with Jeremiah, the Babylonian exile is predicted, and then experienced. Daniel is taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar during Jeremiah's ministry, and after the 586 BC fall of Jerusalem, Ezekiel is called by God to minister to Israel in exile. Indeed, these prophets were aware of each others' ministries, and God's voice in them. Twice Ezekiel refers to Daniel (14:14 and 28:3), and Daniel mentions Jeremiah's prophecies (Daniel 9) as a source of his own prophetic ministry. Reading Jeremiah should be a learning experience par excellence, as getting clear on all its details and references - seeking to understand the discoveries of biblical archaeology that relate to it, and all the history of Israel, including the two kingdoms, their kings and their successes and failures, their faithfulness and their apostasy - sets one up to understand both the whole progression of scripture from Genesis to Revelation, and God's plan of salvation set in place "before the foundation of the world." Listen and read with a mind open to God's voice. Search the scriptures to answer the questions you encounter, search the archaeology to display the truth of God's word verified, search the language to understand better the nuances of God's meaning. Read/listen carefully, reverently and inquisitively, and God will show you amazing things! You have HIS promise on that!

When Josie’s ill and aging father moved in with her, she felt overwhelmed by the daily needs of caring for him. The medications she needed to buy were expensive. The caregiving tasks and the wisdom needed to guide her decision-making for his worsening health condition, aside from her “full-time” job, were wearing her down. She said, “How could I keep gathering and giving out strength, practical resources, wisdom, and love?” Josie found hope in Lamentations, a book about the grief Jeremiah and God’s people felt. Jerusalem had been destroyed by the Babylonians, and the Jews now faced the uncertain days of exile ahead. The suffering was overwhelming, but God promised that “because of [His] great love we are not consumed” (Lamentations 3:22). His covenant love would remain with them, even if they were no longer in the promised land: “for his mercies never cease” (v. 22 nlt). God’s love for His children has no limits. “God is my portion, my personal source of everything,” Josie realized, echoing verse 24. “I can gather and give out what’s needed each day because I draw my strength from Him, whose love never runs out.” As we live in obedience to God, we can have hope, no matter what lies ahead. In His perfect wisdom, He knows what we need and will provide for us as He sees best.

This is message 37 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 39:1-8 Hezekiah's prideful display of his wealth to Babylonian envoys brought a warning of future judgment—his treasures and descendants would be carried away. Yet, instead of grieving for what lay ahead, he was content with the peace he would enjoy in his lifetime. This moment reminds us of the danger of complacency and the need to remain faithful, not only for ourselves but for the generations that follow.

Is Trump Building the Third Temple? • The Todd Coconato Show If you'd like to support the ministry, please visit: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Learn more at: www.PastorTodd.org Today, I want to take you on a journey through Isaiah 45, 46, and 47 — three powerful chapters that I believe prophetically mirror the times we're living in. In my recent study, the Lord began to show me something profound: could President Donald Trump be walking in a modern-day Cyrus mantle? Could we be in the middle of a divine setup — one where God is shaking the nations, exposing Babylon, and preparing the way for the next chapter in prophetic fulfillment, including the building of the Third Temple in Jerusalem? Point 1: Isaiah 45 – God Calls Cyrus (The 45th President?) Isaiah 45:1 (NKJV) “Thus says the Lord to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held—To subdue nations before him and loose the armor of kings, to open before him the double doors, so that the gates will not be shut:” Point 2: Isaiah 45:4-5 – God Uses Him Even Without Full Knowledge Isaiah 45:4-5 (NKJV) “For Jacob My servant's sake, and Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other; there is no God besides Me.”   Point 3: Isaiah 46 – Babylon's Burden (The Biden Administration Era) Isaiah 46:1-2 (NKJV) “Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; Their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle. Your carriages were heavily loaded, a burden to the weary beast. They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but have themselves gone into captivity.”   Point 4: Isaiah 46:9-10 – God Declares the End from the Beginning Isaiah 46:9-10 (NKJV) “Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done…”   Point 5: Isaiah 47 – The Fall of Babylon Isaiah 47:1 (NKJV) “Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.”   Point 6: Isaiah 47:6 – God Allows Captivity, But Also Brings Deliverance Isaiah 47:6 (NKJV) “I was angry with My people; I have profaned My inheritance, and given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy…”   Point 7: The Connection to the Third Temple Ezra 1:1-2 (NKJV) “Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia… the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia… saying, 'All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah.'”   We are living in Isaiah 45, 46, and 47 times. We've seen the Cyrus anointing (Isaiah 45), we've endured the Babylonian captivity (Isaiah 46), and now, we are entering the moment where Babylon falls and deliverance begins (Isaiah 47). This isn't about idolizing a man — this is about recognizing the sovereignty of God to use whomever He chooses to fulfill His prophetic timeline. Could Donald Trump be used by God to open the way for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem — just as Cyrus did? Only time will tell — but one thing is clear: God is moving. Prophecy is unfolding. And the people of God must be awake, prepared, and watching.

In keeping with our intensive study of Israel's history this year, Jenny and I have concentrated our attention on the Exilic and Post-exilic prophets. We've included Jeremiah in this list, even though he spans the immediate pre-exilic period, leading up to the Babylonian exile. The most enigmatic exilic prophet, most certainly, is Ezekiel. His name means "God's strength." We encourage our listeners to struggle with Ezekiel's difficulty, as we believe God has a great deal of undiscovered meaning in this text. Some of the most exciting references, for me, are those to his contemporary prophet-in-exile, Daniel (Ezekiel 14:14, 20 and 28:3). He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

Personal
 oracles
 have
 been
 around
 for
 as
 long
 as
 people
 have
 inhabited
 this
 planet.
 Almost
 every
 religion
 and
 culture
 throughout
 history
 has
 embraced
 its
 own
 oracle
 stories
 and
 practices.
 The
 ancient
 Babylonians,
 for
 example,
 looked
 to
 the
 clouds
 for
 oracle
 messages.
 Called
 Nephomancy,
 cloud
 gazing
 is
 one
 of
 the
 oldest
 and
 most
 widely
 used
 forms
 of
 divination
 in
 the
 world.
 The
 Druids
 used
 it
 extensively
 but
 called
 it
 Neladoracht.
 Also
 in
 the
 western
 world
 were
 the
 ancient
 Greeks,
 who
 still
 retain
 a
 reputation
 for
 being
 oracle
 aficionados.
 For
 them,
 oracles
 were
 wellsprings
of
divination
and
prophecy
available
to
all
citizens,
from
the
common
worker
to
kings,
 philosophers,
 and
 religious
 leaders.
 Oracles
 addressed
 personal
 issues,
 politics,
 philosophy,
 religions,
law,
social
mores—no
topic
was
taboo.
 This
 understanding
 of
 the
 relationships
 that
 bind
 together
 natural
 forces
 and
 all
 forms
 of
 life
 has
 been
 fundamental
 to
 their
 ability
 to
 live
 for
 millennia
in
spiritual
and
physical
harmony
with
the
land.
 Valeria interviews Ann Bolinger McQuade  — She is the author of  “Everyday Oracles: Decoding The Divine Messages That Are All Around Us.” Ann Bolinger-McQuade is a regular contributor to magazines, a popular workshop facilitator and radio talk show guest. Ann shares her curiosity and passion for discovering the hidden obvious and encourages us to tune into the guidance and support that surrounds us all. Bolinger-Mcquade's perspective of the world as alive, nurturing and filled with personal oracles springs naturally from her Native American ancestry. As a child growing up in Kansas she was intrigued with the idea of having Native American ancestors, but never considered her heritage relevant to her life. Her ancestral imprints began to emerge when a series of personal events that were triggered by her breast cancer diagnosis sent her hurling onto what she describes as an invisible moving sidewalk. (Imagine the people carriers in airports.) She believes that at certain times we all land on such a sidewalk, designed to carry us to a specific destination. This particular sidewalk transported her to a place where oracles that were hiding in plain sight seemed to magically appear at precisely the right time. Ann coined the term personal oracles to describe those mysterious messages that guide and often comfort us, and in so doing illuminate an interconnected world that is tuned in and available to us at all times. Ann makes her home in Tucson and Taos with the love of her life --- her husband Kenneth --- and her dog Pandora and a cat named Moon Boy. For the many blessings in her life she gives thanks.

Send us a textEver struggle with understanding Old Testament prophecies? You're not alone. In this groundbreaking episode, we unpack the historical context behind one of the Bible's most profound prophetic passages - Isaiah 52:13-53:12.The complexity of Isaiah's writings often leaves modern readers confused, but there's a fascinating story behind his prophecies that spans nearly 200 years of ancient history. We explore how Isaiah, writing around 740 BC, accurately foretold events he would never live to see - from the Assyrian conquest of Israel's Northern Kingdom to the Babylonian exile and eventual return of the Jewish people.What makes Isaiah particularly challenging? His poetic language, rich metaphors, and the way historical events unfold across centuries rather than days. We break down the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judea, explain the different approaches to exile taken by ancient empires, and unravel the mysterious imagery of Israel as a tree - chopped down, scorched, yet containing a holy seed that would someday sprout.The "suffering servant" passages of Isaiah represent some of the most significant prophetic texts in the Bible, debated by scholars and treasured by believers. Are these descriptions referring to the nation of Israel, the exiled remnant, or pointing forward to the Messiah? We set the stage for our next episode where we'll examine this profound text in detail.Whether you're a seasoned Bible student or just beginning to explore Scripture, this episode provides essential context that transforms Isaiah from a confusing collection of ancient poetry into a cohesive revelation of God's redemptive plan.

Yael and Schwab dig into one of the most fascinating artifacts of Jewish antiquity: the Babylonian incantation bowls. These 5th–6th century earthenware bowls, found primarily in modern-day Iraq, were used by Jews—and their neighbors—as magical amulets to ward off demons, secure love, boost fertility, and protect homes. The conversation explores how these artifacts reflect the everyday concerns of Jews in late antiquity, how they blur the line between halacha and magic, and what they reveal about cultural exchange across ancient religions.

Tapputi is widely regarded as one of the first known chemists, and her name appears in a Mesopotamian cuneiform tablet dating to approximately 1200 BCE. She is believed to have worked in the Babylonian royal palace, where she held the title of “Belatekallim,” meaning a female overseer or supervisor. Tapputi is most famous for making perfumes, the descriptions of her work provide some of the earliest documented evidence of chemical distillation and solvent use—techniques that form the foundation of modern chemistry.

For the Love of Mars surveys the red planet's place in the human imagination, beginning with ancient astrologers and skywatchers and ending in our present moment of exploration and virtual engagement.   National Air and Space Museum curator Matthew Shindell describes how historical figures across eras and around the world have made sense of this mysterious planet. We meet Mayan astrologer priests who incorporated Mars into seasonal calendars and religious ceremonies; Babylonian astrologers who discerned bad omens; figures of the Scientific Revolution who struggled to comprehend it as a world; Victorian astronomers who sought signs of intelligent life; and twentieth- and twenty-first-century scientists who have established a technological presence on its surface. Along the way, we encounter writers and artists from each of these periods who take readers and viewers along on imagined journeys to Mars.   By focusing on the diverse human stories behind the telescopes and behind the robots we know and love, Shindell shows how Mars exploration has evolved in ways that have also expanded knowledge about other facets of the universe. Captained by an engaging and erudite expert, For the Love of Marsis a captivating voyage through time and space for anyone curious about Curiosity and the red planet. 1868 JULES VERNE
