A brief history of Israel, the destruction of the Jewish state, and the birth of Judaism

author:小火慢煎文与史

The ancient history of the Jews and Israel is largely derived from the Old Testament of the Bible, and the authenticity of it is a matter of opinion.

After all, only the Jews were God's chosen people, and it was impossible for God to stand idly by and interfere in the development of the earth during the initial growth of the earth.

It stands to reason that the history with God's involvement should always belong to myths and legends, but later archaeological discoveries have confirmed some of these details.

Westerners have always been good at this kind of operation, and Schliemann dug a large pit in Turkey, which also proves that Homer's epic poems are not false.

A brief history of Israel, the destruction of the Jewish state, and the birth of Judaism

God created Adam and Eve to be the first human beings, and believed that they, as well as future generations, were born sinful and must be constantly prayed and repented in order to receive God's forgiveness.

God was so angry with unrepentant humanity that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage, so he decided to send a great flood to destroy all the wicked in the world.

At that time, God thought that Noah was the only one with high moral character and never did bad things, so he opened a small stove for him and told him to build a wooden boat in advance.

Noah's family escaped the catastrophe.

Noah's three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, each took their wives and went to live all over the world, so we are all descendants of the three now.

Jews, Assyrians, Persians, Syrians are all descendants of Shem, called Semitic, and according to them, the Chinese are also a branch of Semitic. Nuwa Niangniang is expected to ask Jehovah for a cup of tea and advise him not to stretch his hand too far.

Shem's descendants had a man named Abraham who was very devout in God and was gifted.

Again, God opened the stove and told Abraham that there was a very rich and fertile land called Canaan, and that honey and milk flowed everywhere. The Jews were fascinated, and they were not afraid of death.

Abraham crossed the right Phrates River with his people to Canaan.

The Jews said to the Canaanite natives with a shy face, "Give this land to Lao Tzu, and God has promised me."

The natives called the people from across the river Hebrews, and were amused by their shameless logic.

God is the Lord of which cloud? It's not good here!

However, the natives did not win against the Jews and had to be allowed to occupy the land.

Thereafter, Canaan was given a divine meaning as the Promised Land given by God to the Jews.

Abraham's grandson left Canaan and ran to Syria to follow his uncle, who later had a conflict with his uncle and returned with his people.

On the way home, Jacob fights with a god who plots to lame Jacob's leg when he can't win, but Jacob still wins. The gods gave Jacob the name Israel, the one who competed with God.

Alas, this god is really too watery, and the land grandfather is stronger than him.

Jacob had a son named Joseph, who was ostracized by his other brothers and sold to an Egyptian caravan. Joseph, with his brilliant mind, went from slave to prime minister. With the consent of the Egyptian pharaoh, the Jews abandoned Canaan and went to Egypt en masse to join Joseph.

After the Jews settled in Egypt and their power grew, Pharaoh feared endangering his rule and making all Jews slaves. In order to exterminate the Jews, Pharaoh ordered all the male babies they were born to be drowned.

Moses, who was lucky enough not to die and grew up in the Egyptian royal palace, later learned that he was an Israelite, and he began to contact God.

God was a little angry and asked Moses, "Are you lacking eyes and eyes, why did you abandon Canaan, which was full of milk and honey, and went to Egypt to build pyramids for others?"

Moses shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "There is too much honey, walking sticky feet, and it is hard!"

After all, God pampered his people, and after thinking about it, he said, "Well, I will turn that place into a desert so that I can walk." ”

Because Pharaoh of Egypt would not let people go, God caused ten disasters in Egypt, and Pharaoh could not bear it, so he agreed that Moses would leave with his people.

The Israelites had not gone far, but Pharaoh regretted it and sent his troops to hunt them down.

By this time, Moses had already possessed part of God's divine power, parted the Red Sea, allowed his own people to pass through, and then joined the sea and drowned his pursuers. This is known as the book of Exodus.

Moses was so powerful, why didn't he know that he killed Pharaoh and robbed Egypt?

Under Moses' guidance, the Jews returned to Canaan. Hundreds of years had passed, and they had pulled out the Bible again and chased away the natives.

These people rely on God's support and repeatedly shameless.

My God, remember when there was a great flood, you only liked Noah, who was virtuous, how did you give up the principle of being a god now, and like these shameless people?

A few hundred years later, Saul established the United Kingdom of Israel, and David defeated Saul as the new king.

David's son Solomon succeeded to the throne, and the kingdom of Israel reached its height.

The good times were short-lived, Solomon spent extravagantly in his later years, all the utensils were made of gold, and the kingdom was in civil strife after his death.

The kingdom of Israel split up and became two nations, the northern part still called Israel and the southern part the Jewish kingdom.

In 722 B.C.E., the northern kingdom of Israel was destroyed by the Assyrian Empire. In 587 B.C.E., the southern kingdom of Judea was destroyed by the neo-Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar.

The nation of Israel was dismissed, and the Jewish people had an unprecedented sense of distress and founded Judaism for the restoration of the country.

From then on, the Jews were uprooted and scattered around the world, ceasing to be a sovereign and independent state until 1948.

In the 20th century, under the impetus of Zionism, Israel was restored again. At this time, Canaan was already known as the region of Palestine, and more than 2,000 years after losing de facto control of the region, the fundamental justification for the forcible seizure of land by the Jews remained the rhetoric of the Old Testament of the Bible.

This time God didn't intervene, but the British helped them.
