Tebbyson, Lady Of Shalott THE ERA OF THE ISRAELITE PEOPLE JUDAS MACCABEUS The prophecy of the seventy years of exile The Persians were conquered by the Greeks, who also occupied Judah. Yet they left the Jews their religious liberty, with the result that they opposed no resistance to this occupation. This happened with other occupiers several times in a similar manner, which is only known from non-biblical sources, for the Old Testament does not refer to any event that happened between the Babylonian exile and the events described by the books of the Maccabees. It therefore seems that it will be difficult to demonstrate the continuation of the cycles of the history of salvation. Quite the contrary, because this period constitutes a phase of transition of relative peace concerning the Jewish people, which the book of Daniel refers to as prophetic account. Daniel ardently prayed to God to obtain an explanation of the seventy years of exile predicted by Jeremiah (Jer 25:11-12), since he was also in exile in Babylon and these seventy years seemed unbearable to him, so that he asked God to divert his anger from his people (Daniel 9:1-19). Thus, he perhaps guessed that the seventy years would not be as long as they appeared. weeks, years, seventy, exile, macc, daniel, seven, one, week, therefore, phase, persecutions, antiochus, according, year, sixty-two, prophecy, first, beginning, last, end, sin, reconstruction, judgement, jews, jerusalem, jeremiah, events, after, until, time, since, refers
