2 Maccabees zooms in on the story of the rededication of the Temple and the crushing Hellenistic persecution with some pretty gruesome and yet inspiring details missing in 1 Maccabees. The book opens by connecting the events of Hanukkah with past stories of Israel's temple.

After the death of Judas Maccabeus, his brothers Jonathan and Simon carry the torch to further free Judea from the Greek tyranny. As they make great strides towards freedom, even forming what became known as the Hasmonean Dynasty, proverbial cracks begin to form in the foundation which will ultimately lead many argue whether or not their rule is legitimate.

The persecutions leveled by Antiochus IV against the Jewish people lead to the courageous resistance movement under the leadership of Judas Maccabeus. For the first time in salvation history we see serious religious persecution and martyrdom of God's people. Many suffer and die willingly for the faith, but just war is also an option to defend God and country.

The era of Hellenization was fierce, both in terms of the oppression against the Jews, and with respect to the zealous faith of God's people who chose to fight for God, the law, and the Temple!

Queen Esther proves to be incredibly brave and heroic by approaching King Ahasuerus on her own. She is risking her life by doing so, but it is worth the risk to save the lives of her people. Yet, we see once again how God listens to the heartfelt prayers of his saints and governs all things according to his purposes.

God reveals the upcoming days of persecution and battle in an apocalyptic dream to a faithful Jew named Mordecai. In this dream, two dragons will battle each other and the righteous people will overcome the wrath of the nations. Such is the plot for the rest of the book of Esther, where God will providentially care for his people even when they face imminent genocide.

The Book of Esther records another epic story of how God delivers his people from disaster through an unlikely source. However, reading Esther can be very confusing in English Bibles because of the manuscript tradition that mixes up many of the chapters and verses. Let's examine why that is.

The situation couldn't be bleaker for the Jews in Bethulia. They're hungry, thirsty, and desperate. It's precisely at this moment that God will use Judith, a wise, beautiful, and brave widow, to deliver his people. Her actions are not only significant for her city, but point to the greatest act of salvation for all of humanity.

Judith 1-7 forms the first half of the book which focuses on painting a portrait of the enemy, who by all accounts is overwhelmingly powerful and unstoppable. Nebuchadnezzar sends his commander-in-chief Holofernes to subdue all peoples who oppose him. Everyone submits quickly to this juggernaut, except for the Jews. They pray and work hard to defend themselves, but things have become desperate and now they must trust God until the very end, or surrender as well.

Judith is an epic account of how God delivers his people from conquest through the wisdom and resourcefulness of Judith, a wise and beautiful heroine. However, before diving into the text, it's very important to lay the foundation for the book of Judith in terms of its title, authorship, dating, literary genre, main themes, typology, etc.

Tobit's epic saga began in lesson 2 with "God's faithful suffering in exile." We've come full circle now and see "God's faithful rejoicing in exile." Sorrow has turned to joy, misery to praise. Hidden in the story are phenomenal typological connections as Tobit represents Israel and Tobias represents Jesus.

Tobit was a righteous man his entire life, both before and after he was exiled from the Northern Kingdom. He is faithful to God, the Temple, the law, and his kinsmen. He is the model Israelite.

Tobit is a fantastic book. It's a true historical account filled with powerful religious truths about how God provides for those who are faithful to Him, his law, and each other. Indeed, Tobit's very name points to God's goodness!

The Southern Kingdom of Judah continued to exist for approximately 150 years after Israel fell to Assyria in 722 BC. During that time there were some terrific highs and terrifying lows for the Davidic Kingdom. We see some phenomenal efforts at reform in the reigns of Hezekiah and Josiah, but it's too little too late for a people who seem hell-bent on rejecting God's call for repentance. Babylon will come to Jerusalem to destroy the city and Solomon's temple, a truly tragic and horrific event. The Kingdom has completed its path from "glory to exile" in 586 BC. Yet, God always gives hope through the ministry of the prophets!

God was patient and gentle with Israel for 200 years. Over and over again he called Israel to repent of their sins and come to him with open arms. Yet, they never did. The consequences of such impenitent, hard hearts was exile, just as Moses had foretold in the Book of Deuteronomy. Thus, the Kingdom of Israel in the North fell to the mighty Assyrian Empire in the war 722 B.C. Even in this calamitous event, God still promised the hope of restoration!

After the ministries of God's prophets Elijah and Elisha, Israel still persists in sin. As a consequence, further curses of the Deuteronomic covenant are unleashed resulting in war, famine, draught, and general unrest. God purges the House of Ahab through King Jehu, but the house of David is nearly wiped out as a consequence.

If Elijah is "the father of the prophets," as we saw in Lesson 6, then his firstborn son will be his young protΓ©gΓ©e Elisha, who faithfully proclaims repentance and mercy to Israel. Elisha's ministry further develops the themes of the New Exodus begun by Elijah. The typological connections with Jesus abound as Elisha is an amazing prefigurement of Jesus Christ.

Elijah is the first of the great prophets in the Old Testament. In fact, he is called "the father of prophets" and for good reason. All of his miracles and deeds look backward to Moses and the Exodus on the one hand and on the other hand they point forward to Jesus Christ, the one who accomplishes the true and definitive Exodus!

Because of Solomon's sins, the kingdom was to be torn away from him as the prophet Ahijah foretold. However, this tearing away should be understood as a "divorce" between the Davidic king and the tribes of Israel. This terrible split was brought about by the abusive and violent words of Rehoboam, Solomon's very unwise heir, and won't be remedied until the new son of David, Jesus Christ, comes to heal this deep wound and lovingly bring Israel back to himself.
