After seventy years of exile, singing the songs of Zion in a foreign land and wondering if God would ever favor them again, the children of Israel witnessed the end of the Babylonian empire. The new Persian king, Cyrus, allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple. It was a moment filled with joy but also sorrow for all they had lost and now must rebuild.

This episode complements the daily readings from our Walk Thru the Bible reading plan for October 18-24, covering Daniel 6-9; Various Psalms.
