Download or read book THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE written by Edward D. Andrews and published by Christian Publishing House. This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Babylonian Empire, one of the greatest civilizations in human history, left an enduring legacy of cultural achievements, monumental architecture, and military conquests. But beyond its impressive power and influence, Babylon holds a pivotal place in the biblical narrative, serving both as a historical empire and a profound symbol of human defiance against Jehovah. In The Babylonian Empire, Edward D. Andrews offers a detailed exploration of Babylon’s rise to dominance, its lasting impact on the ancient world, and its role in Scripture. From the grandeur of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign to the empire’s prophesied fall, this book presents a compelling study of Babylon’s influence on Israel, its connections to biblical prophecy, and the divine sovereignty that ultimately led to its destruction. Combining historical scholarship with a deep respect for Scripture, this book delves into the Babylonian religious practices, the significance of its kings, and its place as a tool of judgment in Jehovah’s hand. Readers will gain a clearer understanding of how Babylon’s story is woven into the broader redemptive plan of God, revealing timeless lessons about human pride, idolatry, and the ultimate triumph of Jehovah’s kingdom. Whether you are a student of ancient history or biblical prophecy, The Babylonian Empire provides fresh insights into one of the most powerful empires the world has ever known and the divine purposes it served in the unfolding of God’s plan for His people.

Download or read book The Legend of Seleucus written by Daniel Ogden and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the chaos that followed the death of Alexander the Great his distinguished marshal Seleucus was reduced to a fugitive, with only a horse to his name. But by the time of his own death, Seceucus had reconstructed the bulk of Alexander's empire, built Antioch, and become a king in his turn, one respected for justness in an age of cruelty. The dynasty he founded was to endure for three centuries. Such achievements richly deserved to be projected into legend, and so they were. This legend told of Seleucus' divine siring by Apollo, his escape from Babylon with an enchanted talisman, his foundations of cities along a dragon-river with the help of Zeus' eagles, his surrender of his new wife to his besotted son, and his revenge, as a ghost, upon his assassin. This is the first book in any language devoted to the reconstruction of this fascinating tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the well-preserved ancient archives in Niniveh and Nimrud there are many cuneiform tablets which reveal the existence of secret service networks used by the Assyrian court to communicate with provincial officials during the 8th and the 7th century B.C.

This fascinating book casts new light on the political situation and intrigues reflected in the biblical passage. Peter Dubovsky studied biblical exegesis at the Pontifical Biblical Institute (SSL., 1999) and at Harvard Divinity School (Th. D., 2005). Currently he teaches old testament exegesis and hebrew at the Theological Faculty of Trnava University in Bratislava.
