Prophecy, history and song call for us to consider this week one of the greatest events in history. Jeremiah inl his prophecy had predicted that they would be carried into exile and that after 70 years had made them wortay, as a nation, to be restored, they would return to the motherland. Isalah had predicted the part that Cyrus would play in their return from captivity. The iscipline of the exile had done its work when Cyrus, the master mind of that day and generation, had con- quered Babylon and had it in his power to permit the nation to return to Pal- estine, Daniel without a doubt called the st~ tention of the great soldier and states- man to Isalah’s prophecy that had pre- dicted hh attitude toward his country- men. s could appreciate the value ol hnvlnz a buffer state in Palestine to ck Egypt. His skill in government was almost uncanny. He changed the bitter feeling of antagonism among the various subjected races into one of friendship for himself by permitting all nations to return to their native lands and restore their peculiar religious rites and cults. He was tolerant toward all faiths. He did not try to eradicate the | | people’s love for their motherland and | faith by force, ike the Babyonians had‘ done. He sought to create a feeling of loyalty to.his empire by makin (f all peo- | ple contented. He permitted all his| subjects to worship according to the dictates of their consclence. When a group returred to the land from which | the Babylonians had taken them by force, Cyrus “returned many captured foreign idols to their temples” by do- nating them to those returning to their motherland. Ezra, Nehemiah and the chronicler wrote of Cyrus as one whom Jehovah used for high and noble purposes. Pos- sibly this fact may account for the problems that some scholars face when they take up the consideration of this week's lesson, which tre unparalieled event in without doubt one of the hine most im- portant events of the Old Testament. Their difficulties are too intricate for discussion here. It wijll help in their | solution, if we remember that Cyrus| | | had his own point of view when he wrote the famous cylinder that covers the events of this lesson. One cannot be condemned for viewing his procla. mation for the exiles’ return as a con- ieifi?n of his conversion to the Jewisi aith, Returning From Exile, In the opening words of Ezra's Erophecy we find the true philosophy of istory, that recognizes the governing | and controlling power of an ever-pres- | ent, unseen and living God in the af- fairs of men. Calvin Coolidge has re- cently in a magazine article stated how he came to feel and recognize the un- seen presence and leadership of God in his life as President. Cyrus, who possibly may have been & “Zoroastrian monotheist,” if he were not a belfever in many gods, would not have any dif- ficulty in either event in diplomatically and sincerely acknowledging his debt to Jehovah: “All kingdoms He hath given me.” Faced with the prophecy, that mentioned him by name, as Isalah had done fully 200 years previously. the | mighty monarch must have believed that God had chosen him for His serv- ant in extending the privilege of re- turning to the Holy Land to the Jewish exiles. Aside from the value of their presence in Palestine, being valuable as | a buffer state, Cyrus would feel the di- vine urge calling upon him to issue the Eru:llmnllon for their return, which' e ©Only about 50,000 availed themselves of the privilege extended them by Cyrus | to return to Palestine and repossess | their ancient family estates. During| their residence for two generations in Babylon they had prospered, and many | of them had become closely identified | with the life of the great city and coun- try, so that they did not desire to re- turn to the Holy Land. In fact, the only reason prompting their return was a Teligious one. The same spirit exists| with many prominent Hebrews in our land. Personally they are well satisfled | with their position and opportunities | here. While they will not return to the\ | motives to worship and glorify their God G STAR., WASHINGTON, D. (., SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 19%3. Dr. Hugh T. Stevenson. stored in the national treasury ever since they had been carried away in the first deportation. It shows how at times it seemed almost beyond their bellef, as if they were dreaming. Their joy at the fact that they were free and going home was irrepressible. Words failed them and they were overcome with hysterical laughter. All along the journey they told the heathen in song and story how | y, Jehovah had blessed them and set them free. In the depths of their faith and joy they commenced to realize their possibilities as a united, spiritual nation. The pllgrims’ chorus was filled with prayer that Jehovah would restore them as a nation and gather them all back with a great spiritual revival, just as He filled the dry brooks in the south with water at certain seasons. ‘They saw in their return the turning of the days of tears and trials into triumph, and pleaded that they be kept by Divi power to be workers with God. Their falth gave expression to song, just as| the refugees of Belgium and France had when they went back -after the World War to try to locate their old homes amid the desolation and destruc- tion of war. The fact that they were to be temple builders filled their hearts with joy and song as they journeyed toward the homeland, where they hoped | to participate 1Ddthe worship of Jehovah in the restore and rebullt temple. Like the early settlers and colonists of America, the returning exiles were moved by the greatest of all spiritual . While they returned small in numbers, they were destined by their very narrowness and loyalty to their ideals to make Judaism the cradle and | birthplace of nearly all those ideals that we cherish and prize as a people.

'I‘hzy | marked the birth of Judaism. Although they returned as a united spiritual peo- ple, the restored nation never reached the point where they fully realized their | mission as a nation according to the ideals of the Mosaic teachings and the messages of the prophets. Nevertheless they were a better Israel, even if nar- rower, and were wonhy of the new covenant. It required some time to assemble all the folks who responded to the su mons of Cyrus to return to their mot! erland and rebuild the temple. The journey would take at least four months if they followed, as they probably did,| the route taken by Abraham when he | made his journey. ~The generous gift of Cyrus of all the utensils taken from the temple by Nebuchadnessar aroused the deeply spiritually minded Jews and stirred “{P the others to contribute gen- erously fo the expenses of the return. Among the leaders would be those who recalled the memory of the temple's grandeur and glory. The desire to re- possess their ancient home, rebuild | Jerusalem and restore the temple ap-| pealed "to' the people as a whole, for| they longed that the worship of Jehovah should be restored and carried out in accordance with God's word. Although numerically the number re- turning was not numerous, the fact is| that here was the nucleus of a new and mighty nation. They were not deltlned| to be completely free or politically in-| dependent. In fact, the birth of Juda- ism, that is recorded in this lesson, was not a political rebirth, but a spiritual renaissance, The multitude that re- turned under Ezra were all moved by a great and deep spiritual love and devo- | tion to Jehovah, thou temple they de- termined to rebuild and whose worship | they would restore.
