章節(jié)摘錄

　　13　THE WARNING oF THE PRoPHETS　　THE TWO LITTLE JEWISH KINGDOMS MADE WAR UPON EACH OTHER ALMOST INCESSANTLY AND THIS　FRATERNAL STRIFE　SO WEAKENED THEM．THAT THEY WERE FOREVER AT THE MERCY OF THEIR NEIGHBOURS．THEIR FINAL MISFORTUNES．HOWEVER，DID NOT COME WITHOUT A WARNING．WHILE KINGS AND POLITICIANS AND PRIESTS WERE NEGLECTING THEIR DUTIES．A NUMBER OF COURAGEOUS MEN．KNOWN AS THE PROPHETS，STEPPED FORWARD IN A VAIN ATTEMPT TO LEAD THE PEOPLE BACK TO THE TRUE WORSHIP OF JEHOVAH　　THE work Of the Judges and that Of David and Solomon stood undone．Their dream of a great Jewish empire had come to grief．A strong line of fortifications， runing all the way from Gilgal near the river Jordan（once the headquarters of Joshua），to the city of Gezer on the Philistine border，divided the Jewish lands into a northern and a southern part．　　United．they would have been able to maintain their common independence．　　Divided，they were at the mercy of their powerful neighbours．　　We are about to tell you the unhappy story of an unhappy people．Centuries of civil war and anarchy will be followed by two hundred years of exile and slavery．It will be a record of dark deeds-Of sudden murder and futile ambition． But it will provide us with the proper background for the most interesting spiritual struggle of ancient days．　　We must know the main events of this complicated period if we are to understand the life of the greatest of all the Prophets．who was born long after the last remnant of Jewish independence had been destroyed by the armies of Pompey．　　Solomon the Magnificent died sometime between the years 940 and 930 B．C．　　Five years later．the division of his empire had become an accomplished and generally accepted fact．　　It was then possible to compare the strength of the two new nations．Israel was three times as large as Judah，and had twice as many inhabitants．Her pastures were incomparably richer than those of Judah where three．fourths of the land was barren wilderness．This did not mean that Israel was twice as strong or three times as rich as her southern neighbour．On the contrary．the very extent of her territory was a disadvantage to Israel．Jndah，small and compact，enjoyed a more centralised forln of government and was better prepared to resist invasion．　　On the east，the rocky wilderness of the Dead Sea，sweltering in the salty heat of a valley situated 1200 feet below the 1evel of the Mediterranean Sea． presented an almost unsurpassable barrier against the aggressions of Moab and Ammon．　　On the south，there was the desert，which stretched as far as Arabia．
