The Chaldeans were indigenous people of Mesopotamia who spoke Aramaic. After the Assyrian Empire declined, the Chaldeans formed their own empire based in Babylon. The most famous Chaldean ruler was Nebuchadnezzar II, who built famous structures like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and Ishtar Gate. The Chaldeans made advances in astronomy and developed the first known calendar system. Their empire was later conquered by the Persians.
The Chaldean Empire reached its peak under King Nebuchadnezzar in the 6th century BC. Nebuchadnezzar rebuilt Babylon, including constructing the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to please his wife. The gardens, located on a fake mountain with multi-level terraces, went on to become one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Astronomy was an important part of Chaldean culture and religion, with priests studying the stars and using ziggurats to be closer to the heavens. The Chaldeans made many scientific achievements in fields like mathematics, astronomy, and time-keeping systems that are still used today.
Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world and a holy city for Christians, Jews, and Muslims. It has a population of around 890,000 inhabitants within an area of 125 square kilometers. Jerusalem is located in central Israel on the Judean Mountains, surrounded by hills, with the Mediterranean Sea 54 kilometers to the west and the Dead Sea 26 kilometers to the east. The city has a long and varied history stretching back over 4,500 years and has been ruled by numerous civilizations and faiths. It was unified under Israeli control in 1967.
The document outlines the major epochs in biblical history, including Creation, the Patriarchs, the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt led by Moses and Joshua, the Conquest of Canaan under Joshua's leadership, the time of the Judges, the establishment of the Kingdom under kings Saul and David, the division into the northern and southern kingdoms, the exile of the southern kingdom to Babylon, and the eventual return and restoration under Cyrus. It also notes the 400 silent years between the Old and New Testaments when God did not speak to His people.
The document summarizes the origins and early history of the Israelites. It describes how Abraham was considered the father of the Hebrews and how his descendants, led by Moses, escaped enslavement in Egypt around 1200 BC and settled in Canaan. There they established a kingdom under kings Saul, David, and Solomon. After Solomon's death, the kingdom split into the northern Kingdom of Israel and southern Kingdom of Judah. Both kingdoms were later conquered and their populations exiled, though some later returned to Judah and their faith evolved into Judaism.
Facts of the city of Jerusalem, the most controversial piece of land in the world, more specifically the Old City and Temple Mount. Despite the overwhelming evidence that it is the land of the Israelites, it is unbelievable that UNESCO has decided that the Temple Mount has no connection with historic Israel, all because of over 50 Muslim Nations hard pressuring on the Islamic conquest of Israel and occupying it for centuries. With so much of archaeological proof of this land with Israeli history for over 3000+ years, who can believe the false claim of the Muslim world - that religion having come into existence just 1000 years ago. Their claim over Jerusalem is the furthermost thing from the truth. It is the moral obligation of all Christians to stand with Israel as the rightful custodian and people of Jerusalem, as it is the heart of Christianity's Holy Land.
The document provides a historical overview of the ancient Israelites from around 1000 BC to the 1st century AD. It describes how the Israelites established a kingdom in Canaan and developed the religion of Judaism, which was influenced by exile and diaspora. It then outlines the division of Israel into two kingdoms, their conquest by Assyria and Babylon, and the growth of Judaism despite foreign domination by powers like Greece and Rome.

It then outlines the division of Israel into two kingdoms, their conquest by Assyria and Babylon, and the growth of Judaism despite foreign domination by powers like Greece and Rome.
The document provides historical context on the ancient Israelites and their lineage from Abraham through Jacob and the 12 tribes of Israel. It then discusses the Israelites settling in Palestine in the 13th-12th century BC and establishing a kingdom until the first expulsion by Assyrians in 722-720 BC. After the Jewish diaspora began with conquests by Babylonia and Rome, the land came under Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Muslim, Crusader, Ottoman, and finally British rule from 1918-1948. Key events mentioned include the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and large-scale Jewish immigration during the British mandate period.
The first Israelites built a small kingdom in Canaan around 1000 BC and practiced monotheism, believing in one God. Their religion became known as Judaism. Over centuries of exile and conquest, the Israelites/Jews developed their religious traditions and identity, establishing the foundations for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. They were eventually conquered by the Romans in 63 BC.
The Israelites originated in Canaan but left around 1400 BC due to a drought, traveling to Egypt where they became enslaved. Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt in the Exodus of 1290 BC, receiving the Ten Commandments from God. After 40 years of wandering, the Israelites regained the Promised Land of Canaan under judges and sought to unite against the Philistines by choosing Saul as their first king, followed by David who expanded the kingdom and Solomon who succeeded him.
Early African societies were often stateless, with kinship and religion playing central roles. West Africa saw the development of ironworking, agriculture, and Bantu migrations. Some early states included Kush/Nubia, Ghana, and various Christian kingdoms. The arrival of Islam in North Africa in the 7th century spread south, influencing states like Mali, Songhai, and Swahili city-states along trade routes. Urban centers developed in West and Southeast Africa focused on trade of gold, salt, and other goods.

Samuel was a religious leader in ancient Israel who played a key role in the transition from the period of judges to the establishment of the monarchy. He was born in answer to his mother Hannah's prayers for a child and was dedicated to God's service from a young age. Samuel experienced visions where God revealed messages to him. He judged Israel and helped lead them to victory over the Philistines. Though he objected to the people's desire for a king, God instructed him to anoint Saul as the first king of Israel. Samuel continued serving as a prophet, confronting Saul over disobedience, and anointing David to eventually take Saul's place.
David was a legendary king of ancient Israel who united the tribes and established Jerusalem as his capital. Primary evidence of his career comes from 1-2 Samuel, though archaeological evidence is limited. David began as a shepherd who killed Goliath and rose to become King Saul's armor bearer, later fleeing Saul's attempts on his life and establishing his own following. He defeated the Philistines and expanded his empire before facing domestic troubles, including his affair with Bathsheba and rebellions from family members like Absalom. The biblical accounts highlight both David's military and political successes as well as failures in his family system of rule.
The Assyrian Empire arose in Mesopotamia around 900 BC and built a vast empire through their powerful military. They had a well-organized army and government that divided the empire into provinces. The Chaldean king Nebuchadnezzar rebuilt Babylon into an imperial city and led the Chaldean Empire, which controlled much of the Middle East from 606 to 536 BC. Babylon was a massive city with walls, palaces, and the Hanging Gardens, making it the richest city in the world at the time. The Persian Empire conquered Babylon in 539 BC, ending Chaldean rule.

This document discusses evidence supporting the Ethiopian tradition that the Ark of the Covenant was brought to Ethiopia in 950 BC by Menelik, son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. It summarizes the account in the Kebra Nagast, an Ethiopian epic compiled in 1314 AD, which describes how the eldest sons of Solomon's kingdom stole the Ark and fled to Ethiopia with Menelik. It argues this tradition is supported by inscriptions on incense burners in an Ethiopian church, and that the tradition explains discrepancies in archaeological evidence about the location of pre-586 BC Israel described in the Old Testament.
The document provides an overview of the history and lineage of the Knanaya Christian community from Abraham to the present day. It discusses their origins in the Middle East, migration to India, and calls for reform and witness of Jesus Christ in the UK. A timeline is presented covering major figures and events, from Abraham and Moses to the Roman Empire and Jewish diaspora.
The document summarizes the history of the ancient Hebrews. It discusses how they originated as nomadic herders from Mesopotamia who settled in the region of Palestine and developed a monotheistic religion. It describes Abraham's journey from Ur to Canaan, the Exodus story of Moses freeing the Hebrew slaves from Egypt, and the development of the Hebrew civilization and kingdoms under Saul, David, and Solomon. The kingdoms later split and the Israelites were taken into captivity before the Romans destroyed Jerusalem.
The document provides a detailed history of Palestine from ancient times through the early 20th century. It discusses the early settlements in Palestine by Canaanites and Israelites, the establishment of Jewish kingdoms, conquest and rule by various empires including Romans, Byzantines, Muslims, Crusaders, and Ottomans. It also summarizes the rise of political Zionism in the late 19th century, British and French plans to divide the Ottoman Empire after WWI, and the establishment of the British Mandate for Palestine through the 1920s which supported the development of a Jewish homeland but ignited conflict with the Arab population.
Judaism began with the ancient Hebrew people who believed they were God's chosen ones. Abraham is considered the father of Judaism after making a covenant with Yahweh, the Jewish God. The Kingdom of Israel was formed in 1025 BC with Jerusalem as its capital under kings David and Solomon. After various foreign rulers, the Romans took over Israel and forced the Jews from their holy land, beginning the Jewish Diaspora. Central to Judaism is the belief in one God, Yahweh, and obedience to the laws in the Torah, including the Ten Commandments, as a way for people and rulers to lead moral lives.
The document summarizes key periods and events in early Judaism and Israelite history:
1) The Patriarchal period from around 2000-1550 BC when Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lived in Canaan.
2) The time of Moses and Joshua in the 15th-13th century BC, including the Exodus from Egypt and establishment of Israel.
3) The united kingdom of Israel under kings Saul, David, and Solomon from the 11th-10th century BC. This was later divided into the northern and southern kingdoms.
The early stages of Judaism began with the patriarchs Abraham, Moses, and the Israelites who settled in Canaan at God's command in 1900 BC. The kingdom of Israel was established but later split into the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Both kingdoms were eventually conquered and the Israelites exiled, but maintained their religion. The editing of the Bible began as a way to preserve national identity and history during and after the exile. The diaspora and loss of the temple led to Judaism being centered around synagogues and rabbis rather than the land of Israel.
The document provides information about ancient Babylon between 606-536 BC. It describes how Babylon was situated along the Euphrates River in southern Mesopotamia, near modern day Baghdad. Babylon was a powerful empire that existed between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, though they were often rivals with the Assyrians for power. In 587 BC, the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and carried the Israelites into captivity. After 70 years of captivity in Babylon, as foretold by the prophet Jeremiah, the Persians conquered Babylon and Cyrus the Great issued a decree allowing the Israelites to return home.
The Sumerians established advanced city-states in Mesopotamia around 3000 BC, where rulers claimed divine approval and religion played a central role. Sargon later conquered the region to form the first empire, though it did not last after his death as rival city-states regained power. The Sumerians developed new technologies, built walled cities like Ur for protection, and practiced polytheism with gods influencing all aspects of life.

It notes that the NIV includes content from other manuscripts as footnotes when some translations include verses not found in the oldest manuscripts. It also explains that the source materials for the NIV were written around 1,000 years closer to biblical events than earlier English translations, as scholars have recently discovered many ancient manuscripts dating to as early as the 4th century AD. This makes the NIV translation more reliable than earlier versions.

This document discusses the parable of the Good Samaritan and what it teaches about how Christians should treat their neighbors. It emphasizes that believers are commanded to love their neighbors as themselves. The parable shows that true neighbors are anyone in need of help, not just those in one's own group. Christians should follow the Good Samaritan's example by showing mercy, sacrificing their time and resources to help those suffering, regardless of who they are. The ultimate goal is for believers to obey Jesus by keeping his two greatest commands: to love God and love their neighbors.

The document summarizes the history of the Hebrews/Israelites from their origins around 1800 BC with the patriarch Abraham through the Roman occupation beginning in 63 BC. It covers the 12 tribes of Israel, key figures like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob whose name was changed to Israel, the exodus from Egypt led by Moses, periods of judges and kings including Saul, David and Solomon, the divided kingdom between Judah and Israel, the exile and diaspora with conquest by Assyria and Babylon, and finally Roman rule over the region beginning in 63 BC.
The Axum Empire was located in northern Ethiopia between 100-700 AD and was centered around the city of Axum. It grew prosperous due to its strategic location along trade routes between Yemen and Nubia. The Aksumites built large stone monuments and converted to Christianity in the 4th century AD under King Ezana. Axum controlled trade in ivory, frankincense, and other goods and extended its influence over Nubia and Yemen at its height. It declined in the 8th century AD partly due to loss of trade to other powers.

This PowerPoint presentation was created to accompany a lecture on the division of ancient Israel into two kingdoms (Israel and Judah) and the subsequent conquest of these kingdoms by the Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian Empires. The fall of Israel and Judah resulted in a diaspora (scattering) of peoples across the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. After Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered the Babylonian Empire, he allowed Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple. In the centuries that followed, a messianic tradition developed, which promised a deliverer who would restore the Kingdom of Judah. Zionism emerged in the late 19th century with a similar goal of restoring a sovereign Jewish homeland. The modern nation of Israel, founded in 1948, represents the realization of the goals of the Zionist movement. To this day, modern Israelis contest over this land with its neighbors much like their ancestors did three thousand years ago.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

WHY JESUS’ FAMOUS STORY IS
MORE RADICAL THAN YOU KNOW
The Good Samaritan in Its Original
Cultural Context
When most of the
inhabitants of the
Northern Kingdom were
sent into exile, other
people groups settled
into their land. They
intermarried with the
remaining Israelites,
and their offspring
mixed worship of Israel’s
true God with the idols
of the foreigners.

JEWISH RULER JOHN HYRCANUS
RISKY PATH
Galileans usually journeyed
through Samaria for festivals
in Jerusalem, but Samaritans
sometimes heckled them,
causing occasional violence.
LOCATION
Jews insisted that
Jerusalem was the proper
place for the temple;
Samaritans insisted that
it was Mount Gerizim.
DIFFERENCES
Samaritan tradition exhibited a
conservative piety similar to that
of ancient Judaism, but rejected
Biblical history after the
Pentateuch.
In the first century AD, Samaritans desecrate the Jerusalem temple
with corpses, leading Jerusalem to permanently exclude Samaritans
from worship at the temple.
