Genesis of the Jewish people (2)

I will find my servant’s messenger Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and he will come ... and strike the land of Egypt and those who are worthy of death will kill, and those who are worthy of captivity will captivate, and those who deserve sword will punish with the sword. I will kindled a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and I will burn them ... and will break the statue of Beth Shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt, and will burn the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.
The interesting and novel point in Jeremiah’s message is that "Jehovah", who has been a tribal God so far, "God of Israel", accompanies with Chaldean Nebuchadnezzar, and as his defender, calls himself as the “God of all flesh" in front of the Pharaoh of Egypt and the Jewish aristocracy: "Behold, now I, the Yahova, am the God of all flesh".
At this time the Rkabyan tribe is also in Jerusalem, and Jeremiah is sympathetic to them; he knows them as a group of righteous servants of God and believers. He boasted Rkabyan to the Jews and said blessing for them.
And this is the way how Jeremiah welcomes Nebuchadnezzar’s entry to Jerusalem and the Jehoiachin exile and a group of Jews courtiers and nobles to Babylon and says from his God’s side:
I swear on my life, that although Kenyahu Ben Joakim, king of Judah, was on my right hand, I would surely get you out of there and will give you to the hand of those who seek your life and in the hands of those who you are afraid of and to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and to the Chaldeans.
By Jehoiachin being expelled from Jerusalem, Jeremiah’s rush did not end, and he, as spokesman for his people demanded the expulsion of Zedekiah, the Regent and the remnants of the Jewish aristocracy.
Jeremiah had a wide popular base, and so when the action of Nebuchadnezzar began to punish Zedekiah, Jewish regent and ruler asked to help him to win popular support to defend the city. Jeremiah answered Zedekiah’s question hardly and wished a terrible retribution for him. He wanted to link to the Chaldean government not resisting against it, and his message to Zedekiah is as follows:
The nation that agree with the rule of the king of Babylon and serve Him, God says that he will make the nation live in their own land, and they will cultivate in it, and they will dwell therein.
Apparently the Jeremiah’s struggle in favor of friendship with Babylonians and Persians and against the Egyptians, made Zedekiah to hesitate, but the Egyptian fans quickly took the initiative and those such as Hananiah Ben Ozvar raised who called themselves as the "prophet" and were harbinger of hostile to Babylon. Jeremiah calls them "false prophets".
When Jerusalem was besieged, Jeremiah continues to provoke friendship with Nebuchadnezzar and surrender of the city, and therefore, is arrested and imprisoned due to having relations with Chaldeans. He is in jail during the siege of the city and receives a loaf of bread as feed daily. Nevertheless, stubbornly he continues to promote from within the prison. Jewish aristocracy knows Jeremiah’s scrambling as betraying, and they call for his murder. Zedekiah manacled him fetters and sent him into a wet to have a horrible death. With the fall of Jerusalem, Nebuchadnezzar, as seems to be aware of the events of the city, sends one of his generals to release Jeremiah from the prison. Jeremiah is released from prison and is living among his own people. At this time, he is so respected that can save the life of one of Zedekiah's courtiers, who prevented his death in the well.
In the "Book of Ezekiel" there are signs that indicate a deeper bond of the people of Jerusalem with Nebuchadnezzar. According to this narrative, the occupation of Jerusalem took place at the invitation of the people of this city:
Then [Jerusalem]... saw the images of the Chaldeans...that their waists are fastened by belt and had colorful turbans on their heads, and all of them were like Babylonians officers, that their birthplace is the land of the Chaldeans. And as his eyes fell upon them he fell in love with them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
The fall of Jerusalem and exile of the Jews aristocracy to Babylon is the freedom of the people under their rule. In the present contexts of the "Old Testament" a few cases of late robberies are preserved. According to these cases, Nebuchadnezzar appointed one of the children of Israel called Gedaliah ben Ahikam that his ancestor was scribe of Jewish court, and put him at the head of the citizens of the Jewish state and put exiled aristocrats’ lands and properties in ownership of people and the poor.
He let the poor people who had nothing in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields on that day.
Jeremiah also refused the invitation of Chaldeans to live in Babylon and was living among his own people.
Then all the Jews returned from wherever they were dispersed and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah to Mizpah and gathered a great amount of wine and fruit.
This image is completely contrary to what the Jewish historian is manifested.
The welfare that the "family of David" and Jewish nobles were familiar with during the "Babylonian exile" was so seductive that an important part of them never returned to Jerusalem and Judah and were absorbed in the aristocratic society of Babylon and Persia.
In 562 BC, Nebuchadnezzar died, and this incident had serious implications in the harvesting area. With the death of Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian state faced with a hard crisis due to internal conflicts of Chaldean and Aramic tribes. Three kings came to power in a short time until 556, which Aramic individual tribes named Nabonidus took over the government. The new king of Babylon, despite Murdoch, Babylonian god, tried to encourage people to worship the "Sin", God of Moon, and this prompted strong protest from the people and priests. This coincides with the time when the conflict between the Iranian and Medo governments has reduced the influence of Persia in Babylon to a minimum. As a result, Egypt's influence in the court of Babylon increased, and in 543, Nabonidus was allied with the king of Egypt against Iran. This is in the time that neither Amsys, Pharaoh of Egypt, was a serious military backing and support for him nor he had his own people’s support. In spring of 539, Pars and Medes armed military passed Tigris River and seized the capital of Babylon without any bleeding and firing and destruction by defeat of Babylon’s army and capturing varied cities, in contrast with claims of Herodotus and Kezefos that talk about the resistance of Babylon and as archaeological documents prove. Cyrus, the commander of the Iranian troops, was warmly welcomed by the townspeople. Babylonian inscriptions speak of Cyrus as "the savior of Babel", because Nabonidus because of oppression and looting was even despised by gods.
After the fall of the Babylonian Empire, Cyrus the Achaemenid king allowed the Jewish courtiers and nobles and priests to return to Jerusalem. But the curious thing is that from the family members of the Jewish king only one grandson of Jehoiachin called Zerubbabel, (Babylonian), at the head of a group of elders and priests of the Jews went to Jerusalem. The mission of this group was reconstruction of "Temple of Solomon."
Apparently Zerubbabel shortly after returned to Babylon or Persia and from now on there is no sign of the "family of David". While the group went to Jerusalem were included a large number with their nationals of which 7337 were "slaves" and 200 were singer and musician men and women, and they were so rich that donated "61 thousand dirhams gold, five thousand silver and one hundred priestly garments to the "Temple of Solomon". This is a sign of prosperity and glorious life of the Jewish elders during the "Babylonian exile."
Jews Encyclopedia express wonder and surprise from the disappearance of the "family of David" from the history of Israel and that the causes of them not returning to Jerusalem. In our view, there is no "secret" in the midst. Even today, some Jewish writers also argue that a "significant number" of the Jewish elders stayed in Babylon". In Talmud we can read that when the Jewish people arrived at the city of Susa, they said here is better from the land of Israel, and when they came to the Shushtar, they said that here is two times much better than the Land of Israel. In "Aqades” (ancient Jewish legends), we find Zerubbabel as a close person and devotee of Darius, the Achaemenid king.
The story of Jewish Mordechai and his instigator cousin Esther in the court of Xerxes, king of Persia (486-465), is a clear evidence of the mass of Jews’ presence in the territory of the Achaemenid state. In this story, gorgeous Esther, with deceit of Mordecai had sex with Xerxes, abducted his heart and then becomes the powerful queen of Iran. At this time scrambling of Jews across the country is so annoying that Haman, the Achaemenid king's ministers, decided to take them away, but he who is called as the "enemy of the Jews", is executed with conspiracy of Esther. Then, the Jews, with the support of Esther, begin a vast bloodshed and murder of their opponents and Mordecai is placed as the most powerful man in Iran. Atrocity describe of the "Book of Esther" from Iran's large-scale massacres by these new-arrived guests is astounding:
the Jews dominated their enemies ... their fear prevailed over all nations, and all the heads of the provinces and princes and governors and agents of the king helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai was fallen upon them ... so the Jews killed and destroyed all their enemies by the sword and did whatever they wanted to them. Jews in Court of Shushan murdered five hundred people... they killed ten sons of Haman the son of Hamdanay, the enemy of the Jews... and hanged [the body of] the ten sons of Haman [in Susa]... in day fourteen of Azar month also gathered and killed three hundred men in Shushan ... and other Jews who were in the king's provinces had killed seventy-seven thousand people who were their enemies... on the day of fourteen of the month, they calmed down, and feasting and celebration were held...
contrary to the myths of the Jews, the 60 years period of the Jewish "exile" in Babylonian is not their ear of "captivity" and "misery", but it is their welfare era and their familiarity with new world which was far different from Sahara desert of Judea”. This is the Promised Land and they could not leave it. Beginning of the tradition of the establishment of Jewish communities in the cities of Mesopotamia and change of the region into leading center of politics, economy and culture of the Jews in the first century AD dates back to the same period. During these 60 years the pillars of Jewish politic, business, and cultural boom are built, and during these 60 years the first seeds of conversion of Jewish aristocracy "of the tribe of Judah" to a center related to major world powers were developed. This is the first foundation stone that finally in the first century AD, changed the Jewish aristocracy to a cosmopolitan" oligarchy and taught them acting between the two major powers of the day, Sasanian Persia and the Roman Empire.
