For his transgression, Moses came under the power of Satan– the dominion of death. Had he remained steadfast, the Lord would have brought him to the Promised Land, and would then have translated him to heaven without his seeing death. [Early Writings 164.1]. Moses passed through death, but Michael came down and gave him life before his body had seen corruption. Satan tried to hold the body, claiming it as his; but Michael resurrected Moses and took him to heaven.<\/strong> Satan railed bitterly against God, denouncing Him as unjust in permitting his prey to be taken from him; but Christ did not rebuke His adversary, though it was through his temptation that the servant of God had fallen.

1406<\/span><\/td>\nJoshua, by Jericho, sees a man with his sword drawn in his hand; Joshua is told that he is the captain of the host of the LORD. After worship Joshua asks what he should do and is told to take off his shoes for he stands on holy ground [Joshua 5:13 – 15]. If the eyes of Joshua had been opened as were the eyes of the servant of Elisha at Dothan, and he could have endured the sight, he would have seen the angels of the Lord encamped about the children of Israel; for the trained army of heaven had come to fight for the people of God, and the Captain of the Lord’s host was there to command. When Jericho fell, no human hand touched the walls of the city, for the angels of the Lord overthrew the fortifications, and entered the fortress of the enemy. It was not Israel, but the Captain of the Lord’s host that took Jericho. But Israel had their part to act to show their faith in the Captain of their salvation [2 B.C. 994.5].<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

1406<\/span><\/td>\nJoshua sends men from Jericho to Ai to view the land; they recommend that about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai [Joshua 7:2 – 4].<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

1406<\/td>\nGod tells Joshua that Israel has sinned and that they must sanctify themselves. Achan\u2019s stealing is established, he confesses and the treasure is reclaimed from his tent [Joshua 5:10 – 23].<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

All Israel stone him with stones, and burn them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones [Joshua 7:24 – 26].<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1406<\/td>\nGod tells Joshua the strategy for destroying Ai – 30,000 mighty men of valour to lie in wait behind the city, in 2 groups on the north and west sides of the city. Joshua and the Israelites with him approach the city but then flee when all the men of Ai leaves the city to fight them. This ambush strategy then permits the unprotected city to be taken and burnt with 12,000 men of Ai being subsequently destroyed [Joshua 8:1 – 29].<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

1405<\/td>\nThe Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon come and deceive Joshua and the leaders of Israel by saying that they have travelled from a far country, have heard of what they have done in the name of God and wish to serve them. Joshua does not seek God\u2019s guidance, accepts them but then finds out that they are heathen neighbours so makes them hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD [Joshua 9:3 – 27].<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1405<\/td>\nAdonizedek king of Jerusalem gets Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon to unite and fight against Israel. The Gibeonites tell Joshua that this will happen, Joshua seeks God\u2019s help who confirms that these 5 Amorite nations will be destroyed; Joshua moves from Gilgal to Gibeon and they are in battle but more die by God casting down great stones [hailstones] from heaven [Joshua 10:1 – 11].<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

1405<\/td>\nJoshua fights against Libnah, Lachish, Horam king of Gezer, Eglon, Hebron, Debir and all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded. All these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel [Joshua 10:29 – 43].<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1405<\/td>\nGod fights for Joshua against 31 kings of the Northern Palestine area. Joshua made war a long time with all those kings who are all defeated [Joshua 11, 12]. One of them was king Jabin of Canaan who reigned in Hazor and had led a coalition against Joshua, but he was defeated [Joshua 11:1 – 14]. 165 years later, a descendant of this king and also named Jabin, would again oppress the Israelites.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

He had stolen 1100 silver shekels from his mother, but when his mother cursed about it he returned them. Micah and his mother agreed to turn their money into a god, and set up idol worship in their family. What is related here, and the rest of the chapters Joshua, was done soon after the death of Joshua [Judges 20:28].<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Kadesh did not mean the fall of Egypt’s 19th Dynasty, but it did put an end to their dreams of expansion. On the Hittite side, the battle inspired, not confidence, but a certain timidity, when it came to hostilities with Egypt. While avoiding war, both sides were slow to make peace.

The Hittite Kingdom thus vanishes from historical records, much of the territory being seized by Assyria.

1017<\/td>\nAt Jonathan\u2019s warning [and Michal\u2019s], David flees from Saul to Samuel at Ramah [1 Samuel 19]. Michal remains behind with Saul. An evil spirit caused Saul to pursue David, but he is stopped by the Spirit of God at Ramah [Psalm 59]. David found Samuel at Ramah, and told him what Saul had done. The prophet, fearless of the king’s displeasure, welcomed the fugitive, and Samuel and David dwelt together at Naioth. This refuge was a peaceful place in contrast with the royal palace. It was here, amid the hills, that the honored prophet of the Lord continued his work, even when the shadows of age were gathering about him<\/strong>. A company of seers was with him, and they studied closely the will of God, and listened reverently to the words of instruction that fell from the lips of Samuel. The closing work of the servant of God was to instruct the seers in the school of the prophets<\/strong>; precious were the lessons that David learned from the teacher of Israel.

1015<\/td>\nDoeg the Edomite, at Saul\u2019s command, kills Ahimelech the priest who helped David and his men. He also kills 85 priests and everyone at Nob for helping David. Abiathar, the son of the priest flees to David with the ephod [1 Samuel 22:6 – 23 & Psalm 52].<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1015<\/td>\nDavid liberates Keilah from the Philistines [1 Samuel 23:6]. Saul hears of it and gathers his forces against David at Keilah. Using the ephod, David learns that the people of Keilah will betray him to Saul, and so he flees again. Jonathan visits him at Ziph and covenants with him again [23:16]. Ziphites betray David, but God hides him from Saul in the Desert of Ziph [Psalm 63].<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1015<\/td>\nSaul pursues David at en – Gedi. [Psalm 54]. David cuts of a corner of his robe in the cave near the Crags of the Wild goats. When Saul leaves the cave, David pleads his cause and his intent not to harm Saul [1 Samuel 24]. He returns to his stronghold [Masada?] [Psalm 57]. This is just before Samuel dies [1 Samuel 25:1].<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1015<\/td>\nDavid is living \u201coff the land\u201d as he encounters Nabal and Abigail at Carmel [1 Samuel 25]. His men kindly provide protection for Nabal\u2019s flocks expecting to be paid, but Nabal rebuffs them. David threatens to kill Nabal for his affront until Abigail diplomatically intercedes with food and praise. David has married Ahinoam of Jezreel [1 Samuel 25:43]. When Nabal dies shortly after this incident, David marries Abigail as well. In David\u2019s absence, Saul gives Michal to Paltiel in Gallim, which is probably on the border near Jerusalem.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

At Nathan\u2019s insistence, Bathsheba convinces David to declare Solomon king – in – waiting [per the promise in 2 Samuel 11:24 – 25; 1 Chronicles 22:9], and have him assume the throne [1 Kings 1:5 – 53; 1 Chronicles 23:1; 26:31].

All of this left him somewhat unpopular with many of his subjects, particularly the priesthood and the military class.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
550<\/td>\nBelshazzar becomes co-regent in Babylon. Through the folly and weakness of Belshazzar, the grandson of Nebuchadnezzar, proud Babylon was soon to fall.

539<\/td>\nFor a little while, Darius the Mede [age 32?] rules in Babylon. Darius the Mede is mentioned in the Book of Daniel as king of Babylon between Belshazzar and Cyrus the Great, but he is not known to history, and no additional king can be placed between the known figures of Belshazzar and Cyrus. However, Babylon was besieged by Cyrus, nephew of Darius the Mede, and commanding general of the combined armies of the Medes and Persians<\/strong> [Prophets and Kings 523.1]. [Most scholars view him as a literary fiction, but conservatives seeking to harmonise Daniel with history have put forward several theories, the most common being that he is identical with either Cyrus or with Ugbaru, the general who was first to enter Babylon when it fell to the Persians].<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

By their false reports they aroused suspicion in minds easily stirred up to suspect; and because of this discouragement, the Jews became unbelieving and indifferent in regard to the work that the Lord had signified He would have done. They were opposed by Smerdis the usurper. “Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.” When Darius came to the throne, he set aside the work and prohibition of the usurper. But even then the people that should have been the most interested continued to be indifferent. They misapplied the prophecy given by Inspiration. They misinterpreted the Word of God, and declared that the time to build had not yet come, and that until the days were fully accomplished, they would not undertake the work. But while they left the building of the house of the Lord, the temple in which they could worship God, until the end of the time specified as the captivity of the Jews had fully come, they built mansions for themselves [Manuscript 116, 1897].

332 January – July<\/td>\nSiege of Tyre by the Macedonians under Alexander the Great. The Siege of Tyre was orchestrated by Alexander the Great during his campaigns against the Persians. The Macedonian army was unable to capture the city, which was a strategic coastal base on the Mediterranean Sea, through conventional means because it was on an island and had walls right up to the sea. Alexander responded to this problem by first blockading and besieging Tyre for 7 months, and then by building a causeway that allowed him to breach the fortifications. Alexander captures the Levant.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The stronghold was heavily fortified and built on a hill, requiring a siege. After 3 unsuccessful assaults, the stronghold fell, but not before Alexander had received a serious shoulder wound. As in Tyre, men of military age were put to the sword and the women and children were sold into slavery. Alexander then advanced on Egypt in late 332 B.C., where he was regarded as a liberator. During his stay in Egypt, he founded Alexandria-by-Egypt, which would become the prosperous capital of the Ptolemaic Kingdom after his death.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
