The Restoration from Babylon
By Editor
A series of sixteen articles by Alonzo Trevier Jones The author traces the history typical of the last day right through the whole series. The following is from the first article, and it well states the object of the series:— “There is hardly any portion of the Bible story that receives less attention than that relating to the period of the restoration of Israel to their own land, from the captivity of Babylon. And yet there is hardly any portion of the Bible story that is more full of the very life and movement of God in human affairs, hardly any portion more full of valuable lessons. Indeed there is no portion of the Bible story so full as is this of striking illustrations of how, how promptly, and how triumphantly God can interpose with kings and powers in behalf of His cause and His people in the earth.” The books of the Bible especially embraced in this are: Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, and the period of the world covered in the narrative of over five hundred years—from B. C. 536 to the Crucifixion. We give here the titles of the articles in the series:— Causes of the Captivity
