Downfall #10 In the eighth century B.C.E., both Israel and southern kingdom of Judah are at their zenith. Both, however, will go into ignominious decline, swallowed up by Assyria and Babylon, respectively. It ends where it all began, near the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers – the same territory from which Abraham and his family made their long trek to the land of Canaan, so many centuries before. But as the prophets certainly knew, it’s precisely out of the crucible of suffering that the “greatest generation” may well arise.Dr. Kenneth Hanson http://drkenhanson.com/
