What does Babylonian prisoner mean? Easy to understand

From 597 BC to 538 BC, the Jewish kingdom was conquered twice by King Nebuchadnezzar II of the new kingdom of Babylon, and a large number of people, craftsmen, priests and members of the royal family were exiled to Babylon. Only after King Ju Lushi of Persia destroyed Babylon in 538 BC were the prisoners allowed to go home. This history has a great influence on the Jewish reform. In 538 BC, Ju Lushi, the founder of the Persian Empire, won without a fight and easily occupied the historic city of Babylon. He issued a proclamation to release the Jews to their homeland and let them rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. This time, more than 42,000 Jews returned to Jerusalem. Ju Lushi also handed over 5,400 pieces of gold and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar II of the new kingdom of Babylon had taken away from the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem and put in the temple of Babylon to Jewish leaders. How did the Jews get caught in Babylon? There is a long and narrow hilly region between Syria and Egypt. It has the Jordan River and the Dead Sea to the east and the Mediterranean Sea to the west. The original name of this place is Canaan. Later, a maritime nation (a tribe along the Mediterranean coast) the Philistines occupied and settled here. The ancient Greeks called the place where the Philistines lived "Palestine", which means "the country of the Philistines". So this place was renamed Palestine. Palestine was originally inhabited by Canaanites and other tribes who spoke Sem. Later, Hebrew, a nomadic tribe who spoke Sem, later called Jews, gradually moved from the East to Palestine, and after a long conflict with Canaanites, they gradually lived together. Among them, Israeli tribes live in the north and Jewish tribes live in the south. During the 200 years from 12 century BC to 1 1 century BC, the Philistines were attacked by the Greeks and crossed the ocean to live in Canaan. The Hebrews fought a long and fierce war with the Philistines. 1 1 century BC, King David, a Jew, unified the Jewish tribes and established the kingdom of Israel and Judea. Later, they drove out the Philistines from Schet and seized Jerusalem from the Canaanites, making it the capital of Israel and the Jewish kingdom. Since then, Jerusalem has become the holy city of Israeli Jews. After David died, his son Solomon succeeded to the throne. At this time, the strength of the Jewish kingdom of Israel has been further developed. Since the time of David, the luxurious palace and the house of the Lord built on Mount Zion in Jerusalem have been completed. Jews regard Mount Zion as a sacred mountain and call on Jews scattered around the world to "concentrate around Mount Zion". This is the origin of the word "Zionism" (meaning "Zionism"). However, the contradictions within the kingdom also developed during this period. In the10th century BC, Israel and the Kingdom of Judea split up shortly after Solomon's death. The northern part is the Kingdom of Israel, with Samaria as its capital; The south is the Jewish kingdom with Jerusalem as its capital. In 722 BC, King Sargon II of Assyria captured Samaria, the capital of the Kingdom of Israel, captured more than 27,000 people and moved residents from other regions to Israel. The kingdom of Israel, which existed for about 200 years, disappeared from history. Faced with the Assyrian attack, the king of the Jewish kingdom was very alarmed. As a result, he kept the throne of the king and became a vassal of the Assyrian Empire at the expense of 24 tons of gold. After that, the kingdom of the Hebrews was only 1 Jew, so the Hebrews were also called Jews. The Jewish kingdom existed until the beginning of Roman rule. In the meantime, it was also full of disasters, and it was conquered by ancient Egypt, the New Kingdom of Babylon, the Persian Empire, the Alexander Empire and the Western Rome. In particular, King Nebuchadnezzar II of the new kingdom of Babylon captured Jerusalem twice in 597 and 586 BC, destroying the Jewish kingdom. He ordered all the nobles, priests, businessmen and craftsmen of the Jews to be taken as prisoners and escorted to the city of Babylon in droves, leaving only some extremely poor people in Jerusalem to repair vineyards and cultivate fields. This is the "Babylonian prisoner" in Jewish history. After the Jews were taken to Babylon, Jerusalem was in ruins, the surrounding walls were destroyed, temples and palaces were set on fire, and all the gold, silver and bronze in the city were taken to Babylon. Dozens of times later, Ju Lushi destroyed the new Babylonian kingdom and sent them back to Jerusalem to rebuild their homeland. Jews have suffered a lot since they appeared in the dance of history. It is said that they lived in Egypt for hundreds of years, suffered a lot and fled Egypt under the leadership of a leader named Moses. He wandered in the desert area of Sinai Peninsula for many years. Later, he fought against Canaanites and Philistines for a long time, and suffered from prisoners who were destroyed and slaughtered for decades. Jews who have been honed by hard life fantasize about having a "savior" to save them in from the mire and help Jews restore their country. They believe that the Lord is the only true God who rules all things in the universe. This is Judaism. Jews believe that the wicked will be punished by the Lord (God) and the savior will come. They recorded related myths, legends, poems, history, the Ten Commandments of Moses, and the quotations of "prophets" (some folk monks connected with the lower classes of society) and compiled them into the Bible. The Bible is a classic worshipped by Jews. Later, after the rise of Christianity, it accepted this Bible and called it the Old Testament. At the same time, the new preaching of Christianity is called the New Testament. Jews have an important influence on religion, and Israeli Jews scattered around the world regard their belief in Judaism as the basis of national identity. Jerusalem is a holy place for Judaism and Christianity, and later became a holy place for Islam. Believers of these three religions regard Jerusalem as their holy city according to their own religious legends.
