A Crushing Response to Zedekiah’s Rebellion

Nebuchadnezzar had always been cautious of conflict with Israel and its Holy Temple, as he did not believe that God would sanction the destruction of Jerusalem.

In order to establish the divine intention, Nebuchadnezzar, after he had enlisted the services of a sorcerer, fired several arrows in the direction of different nations. All the arrows he fired split, apart from the one in the direction of Jerusalem. He then perceived it as a sign that he would be victorious.

Nevertheless, he was worried that he would meet the same fate as Sennacherib, the Assyrian king who had miraculously vanquished several years earlier, so he set up his headquarters in Riblah, present-day Syria near the border with Lebanon and he sent his general, Nebuzaradan to destroy Judah.

Nebuchadnezzar warned Nebuzaradan that he would face defeat if he allowed the Jews to pray and repent of their evil ways. He also instructed him to drive them out as if they were being hunted by a lion and not to stop until they reached the rivers of Babylon.

Nebuchadnezzar Destroys Jerusalem

Nebuchadnezzar barricaded Jerusalem for nearly two years and eventually breached the walls of the city in the month of Tammuz, that is, July 587 BC.

He had arrayed Nebuzaradan with 300 mules loaded with iron axes that could cut iron. All, but one, were destroyed in an effort to open one of the gates of Jerusalem. While briefly considering the withdrawal from the city, Nebuzaradan made a final attempt with the remaining axe as the gates gave way on July 7.

On July 9, 587 BC, Nebuzaradan then went on to destroy the Holy Temple, the palace of the King, and all its dwellings by fire. While Zedekiah initially managed to escape through an underground passage leading to Jericho, he was captured, after his soldiers had deserted him, and taken away to appear before Nebuchadnezzar at Riblah.

Exile to Babylon

Once there, the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before him, blinded him, tied him in chains, and sent him as a prisoner to Babylon. Then he took King Solomon’s throne and attempted to preside over Zedekiah’s fate sitting on it, but he was stopped from doing so. When the Jews arrived in Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar spared no effort to humiliate them. He made them march down the riverbank, bound and naked, while he watched from a royal ship on the water. Among the exiles were Jewish youths whose beauty was so striking. Nebuchadnezzar had them executed and their bodies mutilated and trampled underfoot to prevent the Chaldean women from seeing their beauty and desiring it. A daring attempt by some 80,000 young priests to escape ended in tragedy.

The Dreams and idolatry of Nebuchadnezzar

The stories concerning Nebuchadnezzar’s attempts to ensnare the Jews in the practice of idolatry, the insanity that followed him for seven years, his good acts toward the Jewish poor in his later years, and other narratives have been chronicled in diverse writings. You can read more about Nebuchadnezzar in the Bible book of Daniel.

79) Looking for Jeremiah

The Death of Nebuchadnezzar

The prophet Daniel had been one of Nebuchadnezzar’s trusted advisors during the reign of the king and was elevated to a new place of influence because of his ability to interpret dreams.

One day, Nebuchadnezzar woke up from one of his dreams, frightened. He found himself in a dream living like a farm animal, eating grass from the field, and losing his ability to reason. He then asked Daniel for an interpretation. Daniel told him that he would quickly fall into an animal-like life and that the only way to keep his mental health from failing was to offer charity.

Nebuchadnezzar opened his storehouses and for a year gave charity to those who wanted it most, especially the recently-exiled Jews.

As the year went by, he grew resentful and closed his storehouses, thereby stopping the giving of the charity, because his mental health had shown no decline.

Nebuchadnezzar then began to behave like an animal and had to be removed from the throne. He was in his state for seven years. His son, Evil-Merodach (Amel-Mardul) ruled in his place as regent during the period of Nebuchadnezzar’s insanity. After the seven years had elapsed, Nebuchadnezzar returned to his senses and emerged from his exile where he found his son seated on his throne. Immediately, Evil-Merodach was thrown into prison for life and held responsible for what had happened to his father. He remained there until the death of Nebuchadnezzar in 562 BC.

As long as Nebuchadnezzar lived, no man smiled. Therefore, at his death, the entire world burst forth in triumphant jubilation.

Upon the death of his father, the Babylonian advisors asked Evil-Merodach to take up his rightful place, which he declined until he was certain his father was really dead. The advisors then exhume Nebuchadnezzar’s body and then proceeded to stab the corpse repeatedly beforev dragging it through the streets of Babylon. This fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy:

“But you are cast youtube of your grave like a rejected branch, covered by those slain with the sword, and dumped into a rocky pit, like a carcass trampled underfoot.” Isaiah 14:19

• When was the kingdom of Israel destroyed?

• around 720 BCE
• The Kingdom of Israel was destroyed around 720 BCE, when it was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire. While the Kingdom of Judah remained intact during this time, it became a client state of first the Neo-Assyrian Empire and then the Neo-Babylonian Empire.

• History of ancient Israel and Judah - Wikipedia​

• When was the kingdom of Judah destroyed?

• 587 BCE
• In 587 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar II besieged and destroyed Jerusalem, bringing an end to the kingdom. A large number of Judeans were exiled to Babylon, and the fallen kingdom was then annexed as a Babylonian province.
• 
  

• Kingdom of Judah - Wikipedia​

• When was Jerusalem rebuilt?

• After Babylon had fallen to Cyrus the Great, founder of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, in 539 BCE, he allowed the exiled Judeans to return to Zion and rebuild Jerusalem. The Second Temple was completed in 516 BCE.
• 
  

• Siege of Jerusalem (587 BC) - Wikipedia​

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_ancient_Israel_and_Judah

The exilic period, which saw the development of the Israelite religion (Yahwism) towards the distinct monotheism of Judaism, ended with the fall of Babylon to the Achaemenid Persian Empire around 538 BCE. Subsequently, Persian king Cyrus the Great issued a proclamation known as the Edict of Cyrus, which authorized and encouraged exiled Jews to return to the Land of Israel.[9][10] Cyrus' proclamation began the exiles' return to Zion, inaugurating the formative period in which a more distinctive Jewish identity was developed in the Persian province of Yehud. During this time, the destroyed Solomon's Temple was replaced by the Second Temple, marking the beginning of the Second Temple period.

During the Hellenistic period, Yehud was absorbed into the Hellenistic kingdoms that followed the conquests of Alexander the Great. The 2nd century BCE saw a successful Jewish revolt against the Seleucid Empire and the subsequent formation of the Hasmonean kingdom—the last nominally independent kingdom of Israel. The Hasmonean kingdom gradually began to lose its independence from 63 BCE onwards, under Pompey the Great. It eventually became a client state of the Roman Republic and later of the Parthian Empire. Following the installation of client kingdoms under the Herodian dynasty, the Roman province of Judaea was wracked by civil disturbances, which culminated in the First Jewish–Roman War. The Jewish defeat by the Roman Empire in this conflict saw the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE as well as the emergence of Rabbinic Judaism and early Christianity. The name Judaea (Iudaea) then ceased to be used by the Greco-Romans. After the Bar Kokhba revolt of 135 CE, the majority of Jews in the Levant were expelled, after which Judaea was renamed by the Romans to Syria Palaestina.

• As you can see on the map of today’s Israel, the territory of Israel has nothing to do with what it was at the time of Joshua and even when Israel and Judah were separated!

• When Jesus came, the Jews were waiting for someone who could free them from the Romans!

• But Jesus didn’t come for that!

• Thus we come back to the New Jerusalem!

• When God’s kingdom will take the lead!
