- Chapter 1,360 Ancient Babylon
In 598 BC, Nebuchadnezzar exiled a large number of residents of Jerusalem to Babylon
In 587 B.C., after the destruction of Solomon¡¯s temple, Nebusalari, the captain of the guard, took captive the remaining people in the city, those who had surrendered to the king of Babylon, and the remaining people from the general public
In this way, the Jews were taken captive and left the country
Jerusalem should never forget the pain of exile, the humiliation and firm determination of being a subjugated slave. This theme is preserved forever in one of the most poignant and touching poems in the Old Testament: "We were in the rivers of Babylon. As I sat down, I cried as soon as I thought about Zion."""Updated fastest, full text typed by hand
"We hung our harps in the willow trees there, because there our captors wanted us to sing; our robbers wanted us to make music, saying, 'Sing us a Zion song!'"
"How can we sing the song of the Lord in a foreign country?"
¡°If I forget you, Jerusalem, I would rather my right hand forget its skill¡±
"If I do not remember you, if I do not regard Jerusalem above all my joy, I would rather my tongue be on the roof of my mouth" ""

This kind of collective exile of a nation will not last long, so when you understand the history and religion of the Jews, you can further understand what they are doing now, unlike some so-called ethnic historians and beasts. , talking about today¡¯s Israeli provocations and lack of peace
??????????? This matter is actually uncomfortable for anyone. How can your descendants be harmonious after their ancestors were exiled as slaves and almost all of them were killed?
Only by mastering the true history of the past can we have a true perception and understanding of the current international situation. In fact, the view of history is a thing of the past tense. It must be given the stance and perspective of the past, rather than being arbitrary because of today's political needs. tampering with history
Only the most shameless government would do this kind of thing. There is no doubt that a certain country in a certain time and space is like that. So you can understand why an island country in a certain time and space refuses to admit its mistakes and revise its textbooks.
Of course they are not convinced, but you are only allowed to prevent fires and are not allowed to light lamps?
Nebuchadnezzar's exile of the Jews began in 598 BC and ended in 587 BC. However, less than half a century later, the once rapidly expanding empire under his rule was overthrown by the Persian king Cyrus the Great. completely destroyed
In 539 BC, the army of Cyrus the Great won a great victory and marched into Babylon.
This Cyrus is known as "one of the most astonishing empire builders in the world." He adopted enlightened policies towards the various ethnic groups under his rule. In addition to the Jews, there were also other ethnic groups imprisoned in Babylon at that time.
Therefore, Cyrus committed himself to giving freedom to all the captive peoples. Not only that, he also allowed them to retrieve their robbed idols and sacred objects from the temple of Marduk and take them back to their homes.
Naturally, the Jews were unable to obtain all the benefits of this lenient policy, because their most important holy relic, the Ark, was not taken captive to Babylon. Although they were given a certain degree of freedom, the holy relics of their faith could also be said to protect them. The supreme weapon is gone
Despite this, most of the less precious treasures that Nebuchadnezzar took from them remained intact.
History is about aggression, being invaded and then fighting back, and then invading again
National integration is actually a word stained with dripping blood. What is ridiculous is that ignorant people think it is a tender thing. A nation that only remembers hatred has no future, but a nation that forgets hatred may not even be able to do so now. have
Being shameless and magnanimous are two different things. If you don¡¯t even understand this, what qualifications do you have to talk about the stability of the country and the harmony of the nation?
Any country in the world that can be called a powerful country basically has clear historical standards and national foundation. Peace is not achieved by begging, but by strength and determination.
Therefore, it can be seen that in several Middle East wars, the will shown by Israel means that in this world, respect and friendship between nations are inherently mutual. If you unilaterally lower your status, you will get nothing at all.
The Jews have never forgotten their hatred, but they have won the respect of the world and the fear of their enemies
Historically, the Persians held a formal ceremony and handed these treasures back to the official officials of the Jewish state. There is a passage in the Old Testament that records this handover in detail: King Cyrus, also known as Cyrus the Great He himself also brought out the vessels of the temple of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and placed in the temple of his god
Cyrus king of Persia sent the treasurer Mitilidad to take out the vessels and give them according to their numbers to Shebazab, the leader of Judea. The number of the vessels was recorded inAbove: thirty gold plates, one thousand silver plates, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold bowls, four hundred and ten silver bowls, and one thousand other kinds of utensils
There were 5,400 gold and silver vessels in total. When the beaten men came up from Babylon to Jerusalem, Shebazaar brought them all.
The Jews began to return to their homeland in 538 BC
In the spring of 537 BC, construction of the Second Temple began on the original site where the First Temple was razed. This project was completed in 517 BC. Although this made everyone happy, there were also sad reasons for it.
Removing the Ark of the Covenant from the First Temple, no matter when it was, this matter had obviously been hidden from everyone before. This task was not difficult, because it was said that only the high priest could enter the inner temple.
But now, after the Jews returned from Babylon, it was no longer possible to cover up the fact that this precious holy object was missing, and they had no choice but to let everyone know that the Ark of the Covenant could no longer be placed in the inner sanctum of the Second Temple.
The Talmud frankly admits this great change: there are five things in the Second Temple that are different from those in the First Temple: the ark of the covenant, the cherubim covering the fire, and the urims and sumim.
"Urim" and "Sumim" are two mysterious things, probably instruments used for divination. They were kept in the breastplate of the high priest during the time of Moses.
There are no such things in the Second Temple. There is no "fire from heaven" that is always connected to the Ark of the Covenant in the East and West Temples. Of course, the Ark of the Covenant itself is also missing, along with its thick golden cover and the two gold-covered statues of winged angels on the golden cover.
In this way, the secret is exposed
The most precious sacred object of the Jewish faith has disappeared, as if it has turned into air. Not only that, people also know that the Ark of the Covenant was not taken to Babylon. So, where did the Ark of the Covenant go?
Various statements spread almost immediately. According to the usual development of things, some of them soon took on the characteristics of revealing the truth.
Most accounts believe that Nebuchadnezzar did not find the Ark of the Covenant when he sacked the temple. That is because before the arrival of the Babylonian army, the Ark of the Covenant had been carefully hidden on Mount Moriah, the interior of the temple. The Second Temple was built on the site of the First Temple
For example, a legend after the Jews returned from the exile said that Solomon foresaw the destruction of the Temple as early as when he was building the First Temple. Therefore, he "made a hiding place for the Ark of the Covenant. It was a hidden and tortuous place." cellar"
It can be said with considerable confidence that it was this legend that inspired the author of the Apocrypha Book of Baruch, who suggested that the Ark of the Covenant was swallowed up by the earth beneath the gigantic "stone of the world."
The claims in this later apocrypha are not credible at all. However, other accounts have been found that also mention a secret cave under the Temple Mount, which was the final resting place of the Ark of the Covenant.
In order to emphasize that the crypt may be under the ground of the inner temple, the Talmud also expresses the idea that "the Ark of the Covenant was buried in its own place." It is said that the person who buried the Ark of the Covenant was King Josiah, who in 640 BC Ruled Jerusalem from 609 BC
In other words, it was only ten years after his reign that the Babylonians captured Jerusalem for the first time
The story goes that at the end of the king's long reign, Josiah foresaw that "the temple would soon be destroyed" and "hid the ark and all its accessories, lest they should fall into the hands of their enemies and be desecrated." "
This belief is generally deeply rooted in people's hearts. However, not all legends believe that the crypt where the Ark of the Covenant is hidden is under the inner temple. A similar legend recorded in the "Mishna" implies that the Ark of the Covenant was buried in "that wooden house." under the floor to prevent it from falling into enemy hands."
That wooden house is located in the Solomon's Temple area, but because it was so long ago when the Jews returned from the Babylonian exile, its exact location has been forgotten by the Jews and has become an eternal mystery.
However, the "Book of Mishna" still records an incident: A priest was working in the courtyard of the Second Temple and accidentally kicked a unique paving stone. He went to tell his companions, but Before he finished speaking, his life left him, and people knew that the Ark of the Covenant was buried there.
"The Life of the Maccabees" tells another story about the burial of the Ark of the Covenant. The Hebrew Bible does not include "The Life of the Maccabees," but the Greek and Latin Christian classics do include this book. The English Bible The Apocrypha also includes it
This book was compiled by a Jew who sympathized with the Pharisees. It was written between 100 BC and 70 AD. There are several sentences in "The Life of the Maccabees" that explain the fate of the Ark of the Covenant as follows.
"The prophet Jeremiah received the warning from the oracle, and commanded the tabernacle and the ark of the covenant to follow him up the mountain. Moses had overlooked the land of God's grace on the mountain. When he got to the mountain, he found a cave and took the tabernacle, the ark and the altar of incense. Put it in and seal it"The entrance to the cave"
Scholars who translated the Jerusalem Bible into English believe that the story of Jeremiah's journey to hide the Ark of the Covenant is nothing more than an imaginative myth carefully crafted by the author of the Maccabees. The purpose is to reawaken the exiled Jews' love for their homeland.
Likewise, the editors of the Oxford Christian Dictionary consider this text to have no historical value. The legend was written about 500 years after Jeremiah himself died, so it could even be said that it is not particularly ancient.
But its author tried to make it appear extremely ancient, saying that his account came from a document in the "Royal Archives"
However, the prophet Jeremiah did live around the time before and after the destruction of Solomon's Temple. This is true, which means that it is entirely conceivable that he may have played some role in hiding the Ark of the Covenant.
Not only that, the mountain mentioned in "Moses once overlooked the land given by God" is called "Mount Nebo", which is located 50 kilometers due east of Jerusalem.
This highly revered mountain is culturally compatible with Judaism because of its association with Moses, the founder of Judaism, and its location also resembles a physical hiding place for the Ark of the Covenant.
Therefore, subsequent generations of Jews did not completely deny the story told in "The Life of the Maccabees". On the contrary, although this book has never been included in the Jewish "Bible", it has been continuously elaborated, processed and polished by folklore.
Reviewed all the legends about the final whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant. Except for the Talmud, the Mishna, the Apocrypha, the Maccabees, and various rather colorful legends, there is no such thing in Jewish legends. Any solid information on the whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant.

Now it seems certain: neither Shishak Joash nor Nebuchadnezzar took away the Ark of the Covenant. Therefore, compared with the statement that "the Ark of the Covenant is in the city of Aksum", these Jewish statements show many shortcomings.
All of this makes the statement that "the Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia" more credible. Don't underestimate this. This is not only an exploration of unknown knowledge, but also a deepening of the history of Western countries.
Since ancient times, China has never had a national religion in the true sense. It is more akin to a political civilization and a pure moral, ideological, cultural and belief system.
Although Chinese people often worship Buddha obsessively, that is not faith, it is far from it.
At this point, many people have difficulty understanding the role that religion plays in Western civilization. The West here refers not only to Europe and the United States, but also to other non-Chinese civilizations, such as the Middle East and West Asia, as well as South America and all africa
Their piety and ideas about religious beliefs are difficult to understand in the Eastern world. This is the cultural root between the East and West countries. It is not just political, economic and military exchanges. Faith is also an issue that cannot be ignored.
Different nationalities always have certain thoughts and ideas to support them, otherwise they are just a mess without any position or persistence. Regarding this point, you can look at China under the enslavement of the Qing Dynasty. Its population of 400 million is just a lamb to be slaughtered.
Slaves will always be slaves. Whether the country subjugates or not has nothing to do with them.
And for a certain country in a certain time and space, the same is true. If you believe in money more than your own nation, what will be left in the end? If we really encounter a war, maybe half of the population will become traitors, just like when Japan invaded China.
A country without faith and ideas is vulnerable
Of course, regarding this, the country bumpkins who care about money are always very pragmatic, and they don¡¯t bother to care about these old-fashioned rhetoric. For them, making money and living a good life is more important than anything else.
So you can see, in a certain time and space, what is the international status of a so-called big country. Even a small country looks down on you, and even the ancestors don't recognize you. Who will look down on you?
On the contrary, if you look at Israel after its restoration, you will understand what national integrity means. Rather than bending the knee for safety, turmoil and war will not destroy a nation, but servility will. On the land of China, the Song Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty. If you die, you will no longer have integrity to speak of.
?? If it weren¡¯t for the ancient culture that supported the Chinese Federation and established a new era, the land of China would have to sink for centuries before it could truly find itself, and its former culture and beliefs
On the other hand, enemies based on different positions, the Jewish nation, which is recovering its glory, have been unswervingly carrying out plans to restore the country, and have ambitions for the entire world.
From their exploration and pursuit of the Ark of the Covenant and a large number of super-ancient civilizations, we can know that the once glorious past represents powerful power and knowledge, rather than pure archaeological research.
Anyone with knowledge?Countries and organizations all know the meaning of some things in ancient times. No one will spend so much effort to do something that is beyond doubt when they are full and have nothing to do.
In recent years, there has been a death on the Temple Mount that came to be known as the ¡°Temple Mount Massacre.¡±
Although this incident marked the beginning of an era of mutual hatred between Jews and Arabs in Jerusalem, its direct cause was a demonstration by an extreme Zionist organization called the "Temple Mount Faithful"
Their procession arrived at Rabbi Mofo Gate, where a huge banner painted the "Star of David" and an incendiary Hebrew slogan that epitomized the crux of the matter: "Temple Mount The symbol of our nation, which is in the hands of our enemies, the demonstrators will pass through the Rabbi Mofo Gate, enter the Temple Mount, and go to the Rotunda, where they will lay the foundation stone for the Third Temple they intend to build."
This shows how strong the smell of gunpowder is between the Jews and the entire Islamic world. Since the construction of the Rock Round Temple began in the 7th century AD, the entire Temple Mount area has become a holy place, which is of great significance to both Jews and Muslims.
Formal excavations began in February 1968, about eight months after Israeli paratroopers took control of Jerusalem during the Six-Day War
Although all excavation sites were outside the temple area, the excavations became a source of controversy from the outset. Melben-Dove, the site director of the excavations, said initial opposition came from members of the Muslim High Council, who View the excavations as a conspiracy to harm Muslim interests
They complained: "This excavation is not actually a scientific expedition. The Zionist purpose of the excavators is obviously to destroy the south wall of the Temple Mount, which is also the south wall of the El-Aqsa Mosque. Therefore, they Also attempted to destroy the mosque.¡±
However, this is only based on a certain standpoint. Countries or nations that are hostile to each other have no distinction between good and evil, right or wrong, only strength and weakness (to be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
