    *****************************************************************


     ===>   The Jews were taken captive to Babylon in three stages:

   1.The first deportation took place in the 4th year of King
     Jehoiakim which was the 1st year of the reign of King
     Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon (Jeremiah 25:1, II Chronicles 36:5-7)
     This event happened in ---> 605 B.C.E.

   2.The second deportation took place in the 7th year of the reign of
      King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon (Jeremiah 52:28)
      3,023 people were taken to Babylon.

     In the 8th year of the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, Jerusalem
     was besieged (II Kings 24:11) and 10,000 people were taken
     captive to Babylon (II Kings 24:14) along with King Jehoiachin.
     This is in II Kings 24:8-14. ---> 597 B.C.E

     The city of Jerusalem was besieged until the 11th year of King
     Zedekiah's reign (II Kings 25:1-2).

   3.The third deportation occurred in the 19th year of the reign of
       King Nebuchadnezzar. This would have been in the 11th
      year of King Zedekiah's reign. Jerusalem and the Temple were
      destroyed at this time (II Kings 25:8-11). ---> 586 B.C.E

    *****************************************************************
                                                                 
     ===> God said the captivity in Babylon was for 70 years      
               (Jeremiah 25:1,11)                                       
                                                                  
          The 70 years of exile were due to Israel not keeping    
          the sabbatical year for the land (II Chronicles 36:20-21,
          Leviticus 25:1-4)                                        
                                                                  
    *****************************************************************


     ===> At the end of 70 years of captivity in Babylon, Cyrus, King
               of Persia , will defeat Babylon  and allow the
               Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple
               (Jeremiah 29:10,  Daniel 9:2, II Chronicles 36:22-23,
                Ezra 1:1-3, 5:13-14).

                Cyrus made the decree in 538 B.C.E. The building of the
                temple will begin 2 years later
                (Ezra 3:8) in 536 B.C.E.

     ===>  The Jews did not return to Israel as a corporate people
                after the 70 years of captivity  which God required to fulfill
                the sabbath rest for the land. Only a remnant returned.


     Those remnant of Jews who did return from the exile in Babylon
     did so in three stages:

   1.The first stage was under Cyrus, King of Persia. This is found in
       Ezra chapters 1-6. The leaders of Israel in this effort
       was Zerubbabel and Jeshua (Ezra 3:2). But they had difficulties
      (Ezra 4:3-5, 5:2). The temple was rebuilt after a period of time
      (Ezra 6:14-15). Herod enlarged and beautified this temple (John
       2:18-20).

     From the first deportation to the beginning of rebuilding the
     temple was 70 years (605 B.C.E. - 536 B.C.E)

     The temple was destroyed in 586 B.C.E The temple was completed in
     the 6th year of the reign of Darius, King of Persia (Ezra
     6:14-15). This would make the completion take place in 516 B.C.E.
     From the time the temple was destroyed, to the time the temple
     was rebuilt, was 70 years.

   2. The second stage of return from captivity is in Ezra 7. This
     happened in the 7th year of the reign of Artaxerxes, King of
     Persia (Ezra 7:1-7). This would be in 458 B.C.E As many as wished
     could go back from Babylon, based upon the decree of King
     Artaxerxes in Ezra 7:11-13. The number who returned were 1,758
     (Ezra 8:1-20).

   3.The third stage of return from captivity is in the book of
     Nehemiah. The Jews began to come back in the 20th year of
     the reign of King Artaxerxes (Nehemiah 2:1). This would be in 444
     B.C.E. Those people who returned are listed in Nehemiah 7. A
     decree given by King Artaxerxes to rebuild the temple in the 20th
     year is found in Nehemiah 2:1-8, 5:14.

     ===>  From the commandment to restore and rebuild the temple
                (Nehemiah 2:1-8, 5:14) which is 444 B.C.E until the death of
                Yeshua/Jesus, would be 69 weeks or 483 years
                (Daniel 9:1-4, 20-27).

                One week in Daniel's prophecy will equal 7 years of
                time. The word week in Hebrew is  "shevua" (Strong's 7620)
                which means a period of 7. Daniel 9:24-27 is known as
                the prophecy of the 70 weeks of Daniel. The 70th week
                of Daniel is another name for the 7 year tribulation.

                These 70 weeks are God's outline of time from 444
                B.C.E. to the setting up and the establishment of the
                millennial reign of Yeshua/Jesus on the earth.The ending of
                the 69th week is when Daniel prophecied that Yeshua/Jesus
                would be crucified. Yeshua/Jesus called this "the day of thy
                visitation" in Luke 19:41-44.

                ---->   God is exact and very detailed in communicating
                          his Word to His people.


     ===> In the history of Israel, Israel will go into captivity 3
                times and return from captivity 3 times.

   1.The captivity in Egypt and return to the land of Israel (Genesis
       15:13, Exodus 12:41). This period of time was 430
      years. Israel did not return to the land in faith but in unbelief
      (Numbers 13:1-3, 25-33, Hebrews 4:1-6, 9-12).

   2.The captivity in Babylon and return to the land of Israel
   (Jeremiah 25:11). Israel did not return to the land as God
     commanded. They returned in unbelief ---> only a remnant
     returned. The punishment of Israel and Judah for not obeying God
     and His Torah during the reigns of the Kings of Israel and Judah
     was 430 years of captivity. (Ezekiel 4:3-6 ---> Each day for a
     year [Ezekiel 4:6]).

     If Israel did not repent after being punished for sinning and
     disobeying the Torah, then the punishment would be multiplied by
     7 (Leviticus 26:14-15, 18, 21, 24, 28).

   3.Worldwide captivity and return. The period of time for this
      worldwide captivity and return would be 360 X 7 = 2520
      Biblical years. This period of time would end in 1948.


     ===> God is judging Israel according to the Torah given at Mt.
               Sinai. Because Israel was not  obedient to the
               Torah, they were judged by God according to the Torah as
               specified by God in Deuteronomy 28 as their punishment for
               disobeying the Torah.

                The blessings for obeying God's Torah are found in
                Deuteronomy 28:1-14. The punishments
                for disobeying God's Torah are given in Deuteronomy 28:15-67.

     ===> Just like the children of Israel, believers are also judged
                by God whenever we don't obey His Torah/Word in our lives.
