Later, Adam and Eve had another son, seven of whom began to emerge a Holy descendant who turned to God, but it was not long before the Earth was filled with evil and violence. God then decided to eliminate from the face of the earth the man he had created, but there was a righteous Noah, so God poured out judgment through the flood, saving Noah, his wife and his three sons without a man, and Japheth with their respective wives in an ark built by they, through the sons of Noah, God restarted the population of the earth, starting the diverse peoples without becoming the father of the Semitic Nations and becoming the progenitor of the African and Asian Nations and Japheth, the trunk of the European Nations, later God chooses a family to form the people who would be the instrument to bring the promised Messiah into the world he calls Abraham one of the Chaldeans he leaves his land and his relatives and becomes a Pilgrim of Faith raising Altars to God wherever he went he followed with Abram his nephew Lot who became the father of two nations, the Ammonites and the Moabites, when Abraham left Aram he was 75 years old, God promised that he would have a son, the son of promise and would be the father of a large nation and in him all the families of the earth would be blessed waited 11 years without the word of God being fulfilled, then Sarah, his wife, failing to believe in the divine promise, handed over her servant Hagar to live with Abram, thus Ishmael was born, who became the father of a large nation, the Arab people, the historical enemy of the people of Israel, when Abraham was 99 years old, God appeared to him and ordered him to leave his hut and count the stars in the sky, then he told him that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand in the sea, but also that his posterity would be slaves for a period of time.
430 years old God changes the name of Abraham the great father to Abraham father of a numerous nation when the son of the Promise had not yet been born Abraham was 100 years old and his wife Sarah was 90 years old when Isaac was born Isaac married Rebekah who was barren after 20 years of marriage, Rebekah was healed and two twin sons were born to them, Esau and Jacob. Esau became the father of the Edomites and Jacob, who upon his conversion received the name Israel, became the father of the Israelites . through Joseph, the penultimate son, Jacob's family moved to Egypt with 70 people, there they inhabited the land of Gozen, a fertile region, these 70 people multiplied in an astonishing way, over 400 years in Egypt they left there under the leadership of Moses with 600,000 men, women and children, that is, around 2 million people, the pilgrimage through the Desert towards the Promised Land, which should be done in 3 months, takes 40 years because of the disbelief of the people of the 12 spies who went to see the promised land, 10 return with a pessimistic report and inflame and mutiny against God and Moses before the Giants of those lands felt like grasshoppers and little doubting the Power of God so God punished them severely condemning all those people to perish in the desert allowing only Joshua and Caleb the believing spies to enter In the Promised Land, the people of Israel walked in circles in the desert for 40 years, year for each day he spied the land Desert becomes the largest Cemetery in the world where the entire generation that left Egypt perishes except the two men who dared to trust in God despite the Giants after 40 years of pilgrimage we have S years of conquest of the land under the leadership of Joshua, but there was still a lot of land left to be conquered.
Joshua, servant of Moses, introduced the people into the promised land by A Call from God and through extraordinary training after Joshua's death, a long phase of 330 years began of theocratic government called the period of the judges it was a time of great spiritual instability and of ups and downs in the life of Israel in the time of the judges the people did what they wanted because of the hardness of the heart of the people of Israel This was Oppressed by many enemies at that time God raised great leaders such as Gideon Jephthah Samson and Samuel after this long period came a new phase the monarchy the people of Israel looking at the neighboring nations asked for a king the people no longer wanted God to rule over them Samuel the The last judge then anoints Saul as King over Israel Saul rules for 40 years, begins well and ends badly, opens the curtains of his government with humility but then surrenders to pride, cruelty and finally rebellion and apostasy after him, David reigns in his place also for 40 years transferring the capital of Israel from Hebron to Jerusalem his government was successful David strengthened his kingdom and became the most prominent king of Israel he gathered fortunes he conquered lands he defeated armies he walked with God he was a man after God's own heart sinning seriously against God against his family and against his people he repented and was forgiven by God from his lineage the Messiah came after his death Solomon his son Reigns in his place for 40 years he asked God for wisdom and God gave him wisdom and riches he became a notorious man in his time, he built the Temple of Jerusalem and enjoyed peace in his government, but because of his many women his heart was corrupted only in his later years did Solomon turn to God and repent of his sin, so we had 120 years of the United Kingdom Saul fell into the meshes of sorcery David into the snare of adultery and Solomon into the clutches of idolatry God answered the desire of the people's hearts by giving them Kings but the people had to suffer the consequences of this foolish choice after Solomon's death the kingdom was divided because his son Rehoboam refused to take into account the people's clamor to alleviate abusive taxes, the pomp of Faust and the luxury of the Solomonic government were supported by the arms of the workers, they were strangled by exorbitant taxes, they took advantage of the transition of government to claim As the changes were unsuccessful, they were unable to walk with the new King, so 10 of the 12 tribes conspired against Rehoboam and followed a new leader Jeroboam, forming the northern kingdom, whose capital became Samaria, the northern kingdom lasted 209 years, this kingdom had 19 Kings Coming from eight different dynasties, none of these Kings were pious, they all strayed from God and followed the paths of Jeroboam. First, this King decided to use religion for political interests, fearing that his subjects would seek Jerusalem to worship in the temple and thus be politically attracted by the Kings of Judah. Jeroboam first decided to build temples in the Northern Kingdom in Betei Gilgal and Bercea placed a golden calf in them and induced the people to worship him as if he were God himself, all 19 Kings of the Northern Kingdom walked this path, they were all wicked and wicked none sought God the Lord raised up some prophets at that time to denounce the sin of the Kings of the Nation and the Prophets of convenience as well as the priests bribed by money God raised up at that time the prophets masters Hosea and Micah they courageously confronted the deviations of the Nation since the palace, the huts, from the rival temples, to the commerce, from the streets to the Fields, they denounced political corruption and raised their voice against the Prostituted religion, they launched God's accusatory libel against the executive, legislative and judiciary powers that had become corrupt, they denounced social injustice and Economic oppression called the people to repentance but their messages fell on deaf ears in the reign of Ahab through of his wife Jezebel , the pernicious belief in Baal, the Canaanite God of prosperity, was disseminated in Israel at that time.
a prodigious ministry but as Israel did not want to hear the voice of God the Lord used the language of the rod and brought Assyria against the nation of Israel Assyria was the rod of God's Wrath against Israel it was a warlike and bloodthirsty expansionist empire whenever it dominated a people practiced barbarities and atrocities against the dominated, usually when entering a city or town, they left mutilated bodies piling heads at the gates of conquered cities, exposing people to the most bitter ignominy after taking the people of the North into captivity, King Sargon the second sent to the land of Israel, a mixture of other peoples, forming a great mixture of races, he knew that the racial lack of nation would weaken the resistance potential of a people, so with that racial mixture, a hybrid people called the Samaritans formed in Israel, which came to constitute- if a staunch enemy of the People of Judah, the southern kingdom made up of the tribes of Benjamin and Judah had 20 Kings, several of whom were pious like Asa Jehoshaphat Hezekiah Jotham Uzziah Joah and Josiah, whenever a pious king ascended the throne, the nation prospered and grew Economic morally, socially and spiritually in the southern kingdom to fulfill the prophecy that the Messiah would come from the house of David ruled only a single dynasty to speak to the people of Judah God raised up several prophets such as Isaiah Micah Joel Zephaniah and Jeremiah the nation was also deeply corrupted listening to the voice of God then in the same way God disciplined them and sent the Babylonian army delivering them into the hands of their enemies the people of Judah were taken into Babylonian captivity the southern kingdom called Judah lasted 345 years after two attacks Nebuchadnezzar invaded Jerusalem destroyed its glorious temple and took the people into captivity, leaving the city to rise.
