When Hannah has to leave her pampered life at the court of Babylon to go to the wilderness of Judah, she is frightened at the prospect. Her father Jorah, a judge under the Persian King Cyrus, is a leader of the Jews who want to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their Temple, In accord with a prophecy given by the prophet Isaiah, the Persian King Cyrus releases the Jews and gives them funds for their journey. To Jorah, their mission is a holy quest directed by their God, but Hannah's favorite brother Behai rebels and stays behind. He doesn't believe in the dream of his father, and wants to marry Hannah's best friend and make his own way among the power brokers of the Persian Empire. Although Behai loves his family and tries to help them at first, political pressure against the Jerusalem party forces him to abandon them to their own resources. Only when a plot to rob Jerusalem of military defenses threatens the lives of his family does Behai find the courage to outwit the plotters and prevent a Samaritan attack. Even after this, however, he rejects his father's pleas and turns his back on his family again. Many years later a deadly threat against his brother Eliakim's life brings Behai back into the family fold. The two work together to expose a vicious plot to attack the Jewish colony in Jerusalem and halt the restoration of the Temple. In Jerusalem, Hannah, her family and the other returned exiles struggle against famine and the hostility of the nations already occupying Judah. They make an early effort to lay the foundations of the Temple, but their bright hopes to rebuild the walls are thwarted and delayed for many years. Upon their arrival in Jerusalem, the Zadokite priests returning from exile are surprised to find sacrifices and worship being performed at the ruined Temple site. Levitical priests who stayed even after the final destruction of Jerusalem have been trying to preserve the rituals throughout the long seventy years of the exile. They are met with suspicion and rejection by the haughty Zadokites, who soon take these offices back into their own hands. This lays the foundation for a conflict between the two priestly factions that persists for the next hundred years and further impedes the restoration of a strong Jewish nation. One of these young Levitical priests, Gera, becomes Hannah's friend. As they can, her family supports his struggle to find a place in the restored nation in spite of persecution by the Zadokites. Gera also makes friends with a young priest of noble blood named Jezaiah. Jezaiah has returned with the exiles, and knows Hannah's family. At a chance meeting, Jezaiah and Hannah fall in love, and soon they marry. Gera marries a local girl, and the friendship begun between the two couples persists throughout the next several generations. Hannah's father Jorah and her brother Eliakim work with the secular governments of Prince Sheshbazzar and then of Prince Zerubbabel. They are not cut off from the central government in Babylon, but they are opposed in the court by strong factions which support neighboring provinces. They are also harassed by their neighbors and by desert raiders from the south, and most of all by the regional governor who lives in Samaria. Much of their lives are spent riding from one capital to another trying to build a diplomatic basis for the growth of the restored province of Judah. Padon, another of Hannah's brothers, is a captain at the military garrison. Padon, like his father and older brother, finds no conflict between his desire to restore Judah as a Jewish nation and his loyalty to the Persian King. They realize that Israel cannot survive without the support given them by the Persian King. There are others in the community, however, who see treachery and faithlessness in the collaboration between the pr

To identify as a Christian is to classify Jesus Christ as the founder of a religion called Christianity. Still, what is the point of calling Jesus Christ King if we won't treat him like the King he really is? Jesus once asked his disciples; ...Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? Some said John, Elias, Jeremias or some other prophet. Then He asked them. "Whom say ye that I am?" Then Peter answered.... "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God". Matthew 16:13-18. We must worship, glorify, esteem, and honor him as King. We call Jesus Lord because earth and everything on or in the earth is the personal sovereign property belonging to the King. The domain resides on the territorial property under the dominion of a ruling King, establishing the territory as a Kingdom. Kings do not rule religions, Kings rule territories. The story of the blind man found at the pool of Bethsaida is undoubtedly one of the most powerful testimonies of the Kingdom ever recorded; ...and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. Mark 8:22-25. When we see men as trees walking, or worse, when we Jesus as the founder of a religion it indicates that vision alone is not enough. Clear vision is needed to pursue the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. God created man to influence the earth with the Kingdom of Heaven through the Kingdom of God. I encourage Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, and Pastors. I encourage Catholics and Protestants. As well as Baptist, Pentecostals and Televangelists, as you go preach this gospel, with the words of Jesus; ...as ye go, preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 10:7.
