Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah, The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub, the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth, The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest: This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.-Ezra 7:1-6***King Rehoboam was the 1st king to rule Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land. Rehoboam's grandfather King David was the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Jehoiakim (Eliakim) was the 17th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiakim's reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem, the royal city, and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. During the reign of Jehoiakim's son King Jechoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the 18th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians began taking Israelites to Babylon. During the reign of Jehoiakim's brother King Zedekiah (Mattaniah), the 19th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. The Babylonians took Zedekiah, and Zedekiah's sons, and Ezra's ancestor Seraiah, and others to Riblah, Hamath, in Syria, and Zedekiah's sons and Seraiah were among those killed, and Zedekiah's eyesight was taken. After King Cyrus, ruler of the Persian Empire, defeated the Babylonians, he allowed the Israelites to return to Judah and Jerusalem. When King Artaxerxes was ruling the Persian Empire, he allowed Ezra and other willing Israelites to return to Jerusalem. Ezra was a studious and devoted servant of the Lord God, and was trusted by the Israelites and Artaxerxes, and was descended from Aaron the priest. Aaron was the older brother of Moses the prophet. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God knew Moses face to face. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, the Lord God sent them to speak to the Israelites and to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Aaron served as Moses' mouthpiece. After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, Moses and Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur. During the 40th year of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, 123-year-old Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor, and the Israelites were camped in Shittim, in the territory of the Moabites. In Shittim, Aaron's grandson and Ezra's ancestor Phinehas served the Lord God so zealously that the Lord God gave Phinehas a covenant of peace. Shortly thereafter, 120-year-old Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land. Over 300 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, David was reigning as king and assigned Aaron's descendant and Ezra's ancestor Zadok and others to go with him and bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord to the City of David. Zadok remained loyal to David throughout the usurpation of Absalom, the son born to David and Maacah, and the usurpation of Adonijah, the son born to David and Haggith. Over 400 years after Ezra went to Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem, approximately 6 miles from Jerusalem, into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah, the birth tribe of David and his descendants, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-25:18, 27:12-23, 31:1-54, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah 1:1-11, 8:1-18, 12:1-47, Jeremiah 39:1-18, 52:1-34, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, James 2:1-26
