THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS
Part 89: The End of Persian Rule

 
After the Babylonians conquered Egypt under King Nebuchadnezzar, Jewish mercenaries were hired to protect Egypt’s southern border. During the years under the Persian government, Judah was more of a theocracy. The high priest ruled but he did not have unlimited power like the previous kings. A special council was convened to rubber stamp the wishes of the wealthy. From this sprung up the scribes, an educated class created to manipulate the people. Then the Greeks arrived and the high priest ordered the gates of Jerusalem opened and Alexander was welcomed into the city like a conquering hero. He was shown a scroll of the Book of Daniel and clearly thought of himself as the goat who tramples the Persian empire. The Jews were granted the same rights they enjoyed under the Persians and God honored the word to the prophet Malachi or the Jews would have ceased to exist as a national entity.

God’s Intentional Will

The Endtime Church and the Reign of the Antichrist

We are a Bible centered group of believers who desire to grow in the full knowledge of Jesus Christ without compromise to His Word. We believe, teach and practice all things that Jesus taught and were practiced by the Church in the book of the Acts of the Apostles. 

Jesus called his disciples to be salt and light. Salt is a preservative but it is also something that adds savor and enjoyment to our daily food. Light is a symbol of truth; it is comforting, penetrating, guiding and exposes darkness. We seek to preserve biblical truth and shed the glorious light of the Gospel in a world that is consumed by darkness.
