King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon invaded region and defeated King
Jehoiakim of Judah Many Israelites carried off along with some of
the articles from the Temple to Babylon (Daniel 1:1-2). Judah ruled
by Babylon and had to pay tribute to Nebuchadnezzar (2 Kings 24:1).
70 Years Egyptians encouraged Judah to rebel. Nebuchadnezzar
returned to Jerusalem Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, the countrys
leaders, laborers and craftsmen were taken to Babylon in exile (2
Kings 24:10-16). Zedekiah, a puppet king appealed to the Egyptians
for help and once again rebelled. Nebuchadnezzar sieged Jerusalem
for 30 months. The rebellion was crushed. Zedekiah and the
remaining survivors were carried off as slaves to Babylon.
Nebuchadnezzar plundered the Temple and destroyed the city of
Jerusalem along with Solomons Temple (Jeremiah 39:1-10, 52:1-23, 2
Kings 20b-25:21).

16. Ezekiel - the Book Chap 38-39 Gog and Magog cannot stand
against God - Gods protection for Israel, his people. Roman 8 28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who
love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose. 29 For
those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image
of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and
sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he
called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is
for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son,
but gave him up for us allhow will he not also, along with him,
graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against
those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is
the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who diedmore than that,
who was raised to lifeis at the right hand of God and is also
interceding for us. . 37 No, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that
neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the
present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor
depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate
us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Chap 33
