from Holy Lit: The Bible · host Allen
This is one of the darkest chapters in ancient Jewish history—the end of the kingdom of Judah. It's the early 6th century BCE, around 605-586 BC. The Middle East is a geopolitical chessboard. The Assyrian Empire has collapsed. Egypt's trying to hold onto power. And from the east comes Babylon—the new superpower led by King Nebuchadnezzar II. Judah is caught in the middle. Things don't go well.Source:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BDxHjdReK_XVdi1n00i85VCsMCNJTfCj/view?usp=sharing
