Join us as Pastor Steve answers this question. 

Maybe for some of you, the book of Ezra is part of the Bible that is a bit murky for you. It certainly was for me! I knew all of the early stories - Creation, Fall, Exodus, Samson, David and Goliath, Solomon the wise, and even Isaiah's great vision of heaven where the Cherub took a coal and touched his mouth to purify him. I knew there were kings and rulers and such that lived and ruled for years between David and the New Testament but the books that come after Psalms were just not a part of the Bible that I read. It is possible that somewhere in my mind I understood that Esther and Daniel's history fell with-in this time but since they weren't set in Israel I didn't know how they worked.

This morning we are going to look at a couple of passages in the Old Testament story that will help us to see how the Children of God ended up living in Babylon.
