2. DRAMA OF THE AGES FLY THROUGH HISTORY WITH THE ANCIENT BOOK 16. ISRAEL DESTROYED AND JUDAH CAPTIVE

3. We will skim over many years now; Israel did go into Canaan.

4. But again they did not fully obey God and drive out the wicked nations completely.

5. Later ten tribes were destroyed and scattered; lost forever, because of their insistence on pagan idol and nature worship.

6. Even Judah succumbed and though God sent prophet after prophet to warn them to turn away from their sin and return to God, they refused, even killing many of the faithful prophets.

7. Finally God allowed the aggressive nation of Babylon, under the young prince Nebuchadnezzar, to capture, sack and burn Jerusalem and lay her temple in ruins.

8. The people who survived were mostly taken to Babylon as slaves.
