Ezra 1 - The Israelites Return to Israel

Welcome to season 11 in the Book of Ezra, exploring the Israelites' return from captivity in Babylon. After 70 years, God's promise comes to fruition:

• Who was Cyrus of Persia, and why did he let the Israelites go?
• Not all Israelites return, and the ones who do face challenges
• Cyrus goes above and beyond - giving permission, grants, and God's temple items to the people of Israel
• The Israelites didn't receive the ark of the covenant. Where is it now?
• This episode sets the stage for the rebuilding of the Temple and the complexities that come with it.
