 | | Nevertheless, there is an obvious transition at Isaiah 40, when we move from a time of Assyrian hegemony (chs 1-39 when we are located in the 8th century BCE) to the time and the concerns of the Diaspora under Babylonian rule (chs 40-55 in the 6th century). | | | The transportation of leading Jews to exile in Babylon at various times early in the sixth century culminated in the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 587 BCE. | | | This passage is found among Isaiahs oracles of hope and return from exile in Babylon, and dates from the middle of the sixth century BCE. |

| | BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO THE NEW TESTAMENT |
| | In 40 BCE Antigonus, the son of Aristobulus II, allied with the Parthians, gained control of Jerusalem; a Hasmonean was once again king. | | | From 37 until 4 BCE, Herod reigned in Jerusalem and gradually with the approval of the Romans expanded his kingdom to include most of Palestine; his kingdom included both Jews and gentiles, but he did not follow the Hasmonean policy of forcibly converting Gentiles to Judaism. | | | Between 215-206 BCE, Rome, allied with the Aetolian League, Sparta, and Pergamum, defeated Philip V, king of the Macedonian kingdom, and his ally, the Achaian League, forcing Philip to agree to peace on terms favorable to the Romans and its allies (First Macedonian War). |

| | Summary: The Fall of Egypt The Prophecy of Pharaoh's Broken Arms (No. 36z) |
| | In 567 BCE, some 38 years later, Nebuchadnezzar again defeated Egypt, and the first 40-year period of the broken arms was completed. | | | In 598 BCE Nebuchadnezzar took Jerusalem and deported the Jews to Babylon and again in 587 BCE when he destroyed the temple. | | | In identifying the time frame for Ezekiel's prophecy, the answer lies in the pivotal year of Egypt's defeat at Carchemish in 605 BCE, and the prophecy of Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom being bound as a stump for a period of 7 times - 2520 years. |

| | The History Of Israel |
| | A last attempt to restore the former glory of the Hasmonean dynasty was made by Mattathias Antigonus, whose defeat and death brought Hasmonean rule to an end (40 BCE), and the Land became a province of the Roman Empire. | | | Following further Hasmonean victories (147 BCE), the Seleucids restored autonomy to Judea, as the Land of Israel was now called, and, with the collapse of the Seleucid kingdom (129 BCE), Jewish independence was achieved. | | | When the Jews were prohibited to practice Judaism and their Temple was desecrated as part of an effort to impose Greek-oriented culture and customs on the entire population, the Jews rose in revolt (166 BCE). |
