God Brings Them Home

Name Date

Read the Story

The last kings of Judah did not obey God. God sent helpers to warn them again and again. God loved His people. But they did not listen.

So the people had to leave their home. They went far away to Babylon. They stayed there for seventy years.

Then God moved the heart of a new king named Cyrus. Cyrus said God told him to build His house. Go home! God's people could go back.

Memory Verse

“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, Yahweh his God be with him, and let him go up.’”

2 Chronicles 36:23 (WEB)
