World events around 400bc


[  ] Persians versus Greeks

Jews probably in transition of siding with the Greeks I'm getting away from the persians. No matter who is rolling over them they don't want them to they are very small nation that just returned to being a nation. They want to become a great nation like in the time of King David but they need to turn their heart to the Lord so that they can get a good leader with God's heart. At this point God is saying that they have not returned to God fully in their heart and the priests whom are their leaders are are cropped because they themselves are still corrupt. And so they shall never return to power unless they repent.

In spite of this they still sinned, And did not believe in His wondrous works.) 3. I lose God's blessing (Genesis 3:24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.) 4.
