The culture of Greece is soon prevalent in the region, yet its rulers fail to unite and subdivide as foretold in both Nebuchadnezzar's and Daniel's dreams. Now more of the dreams unfold as a new world power mounts.

With a plan for world power the nation of Greece starts to invade and seize power. The goal is to Helenize the world, to unify its culture and suppress its peoples, but will one ruler be able to do all this?

As foretold in dreams to the ancient Babylonian ruler Nebuchadnezzar and the court official and Hebrew exile Daniel, the ruling power in the region shifts from one empire to another.

As the rebuild of Jerusalem and its temple are underway friction develops between some of the people who have been living in the land, while the Hebrews were in exile. These people had been placed their by the invading rulers and their beliefs are at odds with the returning Hebrews. In order to thwart matters they make accusations about the Hebrews to the Persian authorities.

With the support of Persia more Hebrew exiles are returning to the land of Israel. Now in the groups Persian authorities have sent Hebrew priests who can teach the people about the teaching of Moses and God's ways.

With a royal decree given to kill all the Hebrew people, the plot to destroy a blood line and halt God's promise to Abraham centuries earlier, looks as though it will succeed. But one woman's valour will surprise everyone.

The nation of Israel is united under King Solomon, but trouble is brewing. We now travel through around 200 years of history as the 12 tribes divide into two kingdoms, north and south.

Welcome to the ongoing story of the Bible. If you've never had chance to read the Bible then this series of Podcasts takes you through the Bible library of 66 books, threading its ongoing story of the world together chronologically. The first Bible story sets up all that is to come. If you miss the set-ups, then you'll miss the pay-offs. Once you start to spot motives and character types, then you can look for pay-offs made through-out the Bible books. You can start to see how the entire story fits together, telling the the world's history over a 7000 year time frame. And you can begin to see where you and I are in the story today as world history steps into the Bible's final prophectic unfolding chapters.

In Full Circle, the ongoing Bible story is delivered in short episodes under 12 season titles, which group sections of the Bible story by time and theme.

The series is written and produced by Fiona Julian, who has an MA in writing for the media, with a focus on the craft of drama series storytelling, hence the drama series format of Full Circle. Conversations with Fiona's university classmates led to the creation of these Podcasts, to show how the Bible fits together as a whole. The Bible story unfolds over time with the ultimate sequel yet to come, eternity. The Bible's question to the reader is one of freedom of choice. The freedom to choose how they will spend eternity.

Some of the Hebrew exiles have returned to the land that God has promised their ancestors, while others remain in Persia where they have made their home. But now an old enemy rises, a hatred of the Hebrew family and one man sees his chance to gain power and remove the remnant of exiles permanently. But God's solution will arrive though love.

The Hebrew people have been living in exile under the Babylonian super power and now the new ruling empire Medo-Persia. But the new ruler has honoured and ancient prophecy and granted the return home to Jerusalem of some of the captives and funds to rebuild the city's temple.
