The History of Judah Restored James Allen Moseley

Did you know that the Books of Haggai, Zechariah, and Esther occur chronologically in the middle of the Book of Ezra? This volume puts the Books of Ezra, Haggai, Zechariah, Esther, Nehemiah, and Malachi into a flowing, chronological narrative. It makes the history of Israel after the Babylonian exile clear - and relates the events and prophecies of that period to the history of the time between the Old and New Testament and into the Christian Era. The 427 years from Malachi to the opening of the New Testament were scarcely a hyphen between two epochs. They were centuries jam-packed with world-shattering events that swirled around the Jews, like two Persian invasions of Greece, the conquests of Alexander the Great, the titanic battles between the Greek successor Kingdoms of Syria and Egypt, the struggle of the Jewish Maccabees against the Greeks, the treaty between the Jews and Rome, and Rome's ultimate conquest of Judah. And all these events were foretold in uncanny detail by the prophets - so that the Jews could survive these trials until the coming of Jesus, the Messiah. If you want to know the true, full story of Israel from Babylon to Jesus, this book is for you. If you are a believer, it will enhance your devotions by helping you know the Biblical narrative more intimately. If you are a skeptic, its proof of the Bible's historical accuracy will challenge your doubts. Here you will discover facets of this era - surprising things in plain sight - in the ink on the pages of Scripture - that many have overlooked. Jim Moseley has taught and written 17 books on Biblical theology since 2008, focusing on apologetics, science, history, archaeology, and comparative religions and doctrines. He is President of a non-profit organization (thebiblehistoryguy.com), whose mission is finding faith through facts. He is working on a Master's Degree in Divinity at Liberty University.
