"By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion."
The Temple was ash on a distant hill. The Davidic throne stood empty. A people who had built their entire covenant identity around a land, a city, and a sanctuary now sat in a foreign empire, harps hung on willow trees, asking the question every exile eventually asks: can Yahuah be worshipped outside the land? Can the covenant survive without the Temple?
BY THE WATERS OF BABYLON, Book Four of the Chosen and Scattered series, traces Judah's fall from the death of the northern kingdom through Nebuchadnezzar's three waves of conquest, the destruction of Solomon's Temple in 587 BC, the long years of captivity, and the partial, imperfect return under Cyrus of Persia.
Inside, you'll walk through:
This is the second great chapter in the story of the scattered covenant people — the moment exile stopped being merely a punishment and became the crucible that produced the synagogue, deepened the Torah tradition, and gave the world some of Scripture's rawest and most honest literature.
Every exile eventually asks where Yahuah is in the ruins. This book traces the answer Judah was given — and finds it still speaking to every scattered people since.
