A Little Season In The Big Picture

Have you seen the Big Picture? It is impossible, unless you understand how each piece of history's puzzle fits together seamlessly. ¶ God judges not only individuals, but nations and their leaders. The book of Genesis reveals how God judged the world in the days of Noah, which resulted in the Great Deluge. He would later judge the nation that built the tower of Babel, destroying it and scattering its people across the ancient world. In the time of Moses, God destroyed the nation of Egypt and the dynasty of the ruling Pharaoh. In the generations after Solomon, He judged the ten northern tribes of Israel and sent the nation of Assyria to destroy it and take its people into captivity. Then He judged the nation of Judah, and had Nebuchadnezzar destroy Solomon's Temple. The surviving Jews were held captive in Babylon for 70 years. God later judged the leaders of the empire of Babylon and found them "lacking", so He handed the empire over to the Medes and Persians. Later, the Greeks would conquer them. The Roman empire arose three centuries later. In 70 AD, God destroyed Jerusalem and the Second Temple. The nation of Judea was destroyed by Rome and its emperors. ¶ God's prophets foretold each and every one of those judgments. They also foretold of God's coming judgment on all the nations of the world. The historian, Titus Flavius Josephus, witnessed the final seven years of the nation of Judea, including Rome's destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple. The Bible refers to this time as "a little season". Under Titus, Rome's crown prince, the war led to famine, pestilence, death, and hell for the Jews. Over a million were killed during the siege. Afterward, for another three-and-a-half years, Roman legions killed and enslaved every Jew who resisted them, utterly destroying the nation of Judea. A similar fate awaits every nation on Earth at the end of this age.
