课程名称：以色列场景 课程概述：这门课程探讨了《圣经》中较少提及的一个重要历史时期——两约之间的时期（即旧约叙述结束与新约开始之间的450年）。尽管《圣经》对此时期的记载不多，但对理解弥赛亚出现的背景和基础至关重要。约翰·摩尔博士在BibleInteract（一个致力于各领域圣经研究的非营利组织）中进行了四场引人入胜的讲座，深入介绍了这个时期的历史背景。摩尔博士擅长用生动的描述和图像使古代以色列的历史和文化栩栩如生。 摩尔博士首先描绘了波斯王居鲁士大帝的背景，他征服了巴比伦，扩张了他的帝国，开启了以色列人民的全新纪元。神称居鲁士为“弥赛亚”，使被俘的以色列人民回归故土。 接下来，摩尔博士聚焦于亚历山大大帝，他从希腊北部的马其顿出发，征服了庞大的波斯帝国。亚历山大的征服不仅如此，他还在整个古代近东地区推行统一的文化和语言，这种文化后来被罗马人在征服希腊后采纳，称为希腊化文化。希腊化文化与犹太人的文化发生了显著冲突，至今仍与圣经价值观产生张力。 在托勒密王朝统治下，希腊的统治相对宽容，曾促进了一定的独立。然而，当塞琉古王朝从托勒密王朝手中夺取圣地时，历史舞台上出现了剧烈的变动，为弥赛亚的降临奠定了基础。 此外，摩尔博士还提供了一本可选的工作手册《以色列场景》，适用于个人或小组学习，该手册可在亚马逊上购买。
The Bible is largely silent about the 450 year period between the return to the land of Israel by a remnant of Jews who had been held captive in Babylon, and the coming of the Messiah under Herod, a vassal king of the Romans. Yet, a knowledge of this Intertestamental Period (between the end of the Old Testament narrative and the beginning of the New Testament) is essential for understanding the background and foundation of the appearance of the Messiah.Dr. John Moore presented these four fascinating teachings on the historical background of the Intertestamental Period while lecturing at BibleInteract, a non-profit organization whose teachers represent various fields of biblical study. Dr. Moore specializes in bringing the history and culture of ancient Israel to life with vivid descriptions and images.To understand the Intertestamental Period Dr. Moore portrays the background of Cyrus the Great, king of Persia, who conquered the Babylonians and expanded his empire to include virtually all the ancient Near East, which began an entirely new era for the people of Israel. God called Cyrus a "Messiah," and returned His people from captivity in Babylon to the land of Israel.Dr. Moore then focuses on Alexander the Great who came from Macedon in northern Greece to conquer the massive Persian Empire and beyond. However, far more important to the biblical narrative, Alexander initiated a unified culture and language throughout the entire ancient Near East that would later be adopted by the Romans when they conquered the Greek empire. This dominant culture is described as Hellenistic because the Greeks referred to themselves as Hellenes. The Hellenistic culture clashed dramatically and sometimes violently with the Jewish culture of God's people, and still causes tension with biblical values today.Greek rule under the Ptolemies was somewhat benevolent and fostered at least a little independence. Therefore, when the Seleucids captured the Holy Land from the Ptolemies, the scene was set for dramatic events that had major consequences. The arrival of the Messiah entered a world that was primed to hear his message.The optional workbook for this course for individual or group study, entitled "Scenes of Israel" by John Moore, is available for purchase on Amazon.
