BC SOCIALS TIMELINE

In 1943 BCE Abraham under the command of God left Mesopotamia. God told him that if he left his father's house and his family and went along with his wife, animals,servants and nephew God would give him many descendants and bless him much until the end of his days. Abraham accepted and took his things, his wife and nephew and went where God led him. All of this can be found in Genesis 12:1. This helped Judaism because as Abraham left his father's house he also left the idolatry of pagan gods and believed in the only God that exists. Without Abraham the story could not have been given, Abraham had two sons Isaac and Ishmael, Isaac is a promise of goodbye and instead Ishmael was distrustful of Abraham's wife. Ishmael originated the Israelites and instead Isaac being God's promise originated Judaism.

Jacob is the son of Isaac and the grandson of Abraham. He had twelve sons who founded the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph, Jacob's son, was the first to arrive in Egypt after being sold by his brothers to the Midianites in 1750 BCE. After all the events that Joseph had to go through when he was sold as a slave by the Midianites in Egypt, 22 years later (1728 BCE) due to food shortages where Joseph's brothers lived and his father meets them again. Joseph had already gained power in Egypt and ordered them to take the younger brother the next time they went, Jacob to find out at first refused for fear that the same thing would happen to Joseph but ultimately accepted. On the next visit Joseph reveals that it is his brother, whom they sold and reconcile. He asks them to bring their father, their cattle and all their belongings to Egypt. Pharaoh himself gave them carriages and food for transport. During the transfer God spoke to Jacob and told him that the transfer had his blessing. This event originated everything that happened after with the Israelites, one of the most important events that occured because of what happened to Joseph is the one of Moses taking the Israelites out of Egypt and bringing them to the Promised Land.

During 1446 BCE on the Mount Sinai God gave Moses the 10 commandments. This is a covenant between man and God. As God gave Moses the 10 commandments, at the bottom of Mount Sinai the thunders were heard and the lightning was seen. Before Moses went up, they told Moses that he should talk to them and not that God should do it so that they would not die. This can be found in Exodus 20. This event helped the Jewish religion because without the ten commandments the Jews would live in licentiousness and as shown in the same story of Moses, they would keep sinning. God sent them the ten commandments surely because they were hitting too hard. This event helped the Jewish religion because without the ten commandments the Jews would live in licentiousness and as shown in the same story of Moses, they would keep sinning. God sent them the ten commandments surely because they were hitting too hard.

Moses was born into a Jewish family in Egypt but the Pharaoh of that time had ordered the murder of every male who was born. The mother of Moses to save him threw him into the Jordan River and there the daughter of Pharaoh found him and adopted him. He grew up among Egyptians and grew up as one, but when he was older he had an incident with an Egyptian soldier and escaped from Egypt. Already after a few years of having escaped, God appeared to him in the form of Zarsa burning in flames. That's where he began the process to get the Jews out of Egypt and when they did, they set out on their journey. On one part of the travel from Egypt to the Promised Land God took Moses to Mount Sinai and gave him the 10 commandments. In the year 1446 BCE the covenant that God made on Mount Sinai reinforced the covenant that he had previously made with Abraham. The covenant is made with all Jews in general and not with each specific individual. All this resulted in the whole history of the Jews being full of attempts to create a just and good society.

1050 BCE According to some biblical works the first king of the queen of Israel was Saul who was of the tribe of Benjamin. He was succeeded by David, who was of Judah. Saul's failure to establish a dynasty is interpreted in the Bible as God's rejection of his royalty. According to the Bible David Kingdom 40 years. Solomon, David's son, succeeded him as king, even though he was not the eldest son; Solomon focused less on military conquest and more on international relations. He built the temple in Jerusalem, but is also blamed by biblical authors for worshipping other gods, who were introduced by their foreign wives whom he had married to seal treaties. The repair of the Kingdom happened after Solomon's death. Jeroboam, son of Solomon, then built royal shrines at Dan and Bethel, the northern and southern ends of his kingdom, Israel.

The construction of the temple begins in 968 BCE and ends in 961 BCE Solomon began building the temple of the Lord in the fourth year of his reign in Israel. The temple that King Solomon built for the Lord was twenty-seven meters long by nine meters wide and thirteen and a half meters high. In the construction of the temple only quarry stones already worked were used, so during the works the noise of hammers or picks or any other tool was not heard. Solomon also had windows with lattices placed in the temple. 5 Around the building, and against the walls of the central nave, and against the walls of the inner sanctuary, he built an annex with side cells. When the time was finished a great celebration was held and Solomon knelt down and prayed to God. Solomon's temple and its construction was and is very important to the Jews and is key to their history. In their history the temple was to be destroyed, then built again and then destroyed. When it is time for God to gather His church and the chosen people, the prophecy says that the temple will be rebuilt for the third and last time, that is when the Antichrist will depend and 7 years will pass where the Antichrist reigned, it will be divided into 3 and a half years of peace and 3 and a half years of war where the Antichrist (the devil) will be shown as in rea.

Around 930 BCE, this kingdom divided into two, when King Solomon died. But who was the king Solomon? King Solomon was the one that created the wealthiest and the most powerful central government but at a very high cost. When the king died, the kingdom split into “the kingdom of Israel” in the North and “the kingdom of Judah” in the South. This two parts remained separated for at least two hundred years, the Israelites placed their capital as Samaria and the Judaeans still had their capital as Jerusalem. On the other hand, I can deduce (because I did not find more information on the internet) that due to the separation from Israel, religion also suffered from a separation for a certain time, and that this made each party take their own way, and thus create different ideas. But, we can also add that this problem was solved when people realized that united they were more than separated, so they came together again.

All this happened around the 742 - 740 BCE, Although at first everything went very well and the plan the Israelites had worked, it did not last long, as the period of the Assyrian captivity began. This period is known to be in which the kingdom of Israel and Judah from the ancient Samaria were resettled as captives by Assyria. Because of this, and because Assyria was one of the most powerful, they were at war almost all the time and because the Israelites belonged to them, they also had to fight. In addition, the Assyrians, because they already had control over the Israelites, forced 10 tribes to expand among the empire to dissolve. What we can conclude with religion is almost the same as what they did with the people, they relocated them for different purposes, what I mean is that what could have happened with religion at that time is that they took the beliefs and relocated them to have different function

During 733 - 732 BCE, the Assyrian empire growth and became strong and clever because of Tiglath-Pileser III, the new king. Because Assyria became one of the strongest and most dominant kingdoms, they began to take control of many kingdoms in the East, West, North, and South such as: Asia Minor in the East, they took control over Urartu and Medez. From here the Israelites felt threatened, because at any moment they knew that they were going to be conquered and also that at this time this empire fell into anarchy. Finally, the army of King Tiglath-Pileser III conquered Gilead and Galilee, and that was when the Israelites took this action as their last warning. So at that time, the king of Israel commanded the rich of the kingdom to pay tribute to the king of Assyria, indirectly giving the kingdom. We can say that this affected religion, in the form that they gave the kingdom, so the Assyrians could have modified the religion a little with their beliefs or as they seemed appropriate.

It all started in 600 BCE when the Babylonians started to conquer Jerusalem, then of conquering Judah. This was not the best way they conquered Israel because then in 586 BCE the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar II, decided to defeat the Israel king by destructing the house of God, the temple of Salomon and more important houses, when this passed the Babylonian king used the resources available at the time. The way the religion got affected was because it meant the end of an autonomous Jewish state.

Finally, this is one of the best events and this takes place at 539 BCE. this year King Cyrus of Persia brings down the king of Babylonia and lets all those people who ever left come back in. Also, the king wanted to reform everything, so with everyone's help, they rebuilt the temple. More than teaching for religion, I think this event left teaching for each of the Israelites, letting them know that there can be not only one God in prayer but in the physical world, which can save and reform you.
