This book, the second in a series on biblical prophecy about Israel, examines how God established Israel through a prophecy given to Abram, foretelling his descendants' enslavement in Egypt and eventual return to claim the Promised Land. This land, specified from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates, was further defined by God to Moses and later divided by Joshua among the twelve tribes. Despite periods of occupation and conquest, Israel never fully controlled the territory due to disobedience. The establishment of Jerusalem as Israel's capital occurred under King David, who also initiated plans for the First Temple, completed by Solomon during a time of peace. God judged Israel by dividing it due to Solomon's idolatry, splitting the nation into two kingdoms: Israel (10 tribes) under Jeroboam and Judah (2 tribes). Despite prophetic warnings, Israel's continued disobedience led to their exile and loss of sovereignty, with many Israelites remaining under foreign rule in their land. Judah lost sovereignty and faced exile due to forsaking God and worshiping idols. Despite King Josiah's reforms, God's judgment persisted, leading to Babylonian captivity. Judah's exiles returned after 70 years, as prophesied by Jeremiah. King Cyrus decreed their return in 539 BC, fulfilling God's word. Rebuilding Jerusalem and the Second Temple began, despite initial delays and local opposition. Micah warned of Jerusalem's destruction due to sin. Isaiah and Ezra prophesied its rebuilding by Cyrus, fulfilled in 539 BC. Nehemiah later received Artaxerxes' support in 445 BC. In Daniel 11:21-45, the angel foretells the rise of a vile ruler, Antiochus Epiphanes, who defiles the temple, causing the Abomination of Desolation. Daniel's prophecy reveals the timeline of the Messiah's first coming, marked by His death and resurrection. Daniel learns Jerusalem's exile will end in 70 years. Gabriel's vision to Daniel specifies 70 weeks (490 years) until the Messiah's arrival and death, starting from Jerusalem's rebuilding decree. The Messiah, Jesus, fulfils this prophecy by His crucifixion in 31 AD, aligning with historical records and biblical events. Hosea prophesied in 753 BC that Israel would be without a king, temple, and priesthood for many days, implying a long period of exile. The Second Temple, built in 516 BC, was destroyed in 70 AD after Jesus predicted its fall in 31 AD. This destruction, along with subsequent rebellions, led to the complete Jewish Diaspora by 352 AD. Hosea and Ezekiel prophesied Israel's loss of sovereignty and its future restoration. After 2,557 years of exile, Israel declared independence in 1948, fulfilling these prophecies.
