Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Ezra 8How reliable is the depiction of Artaxerxes' decree in Ezra 8 when extant Persian documents make no mention of this event? Isaiah 49:8 depicts a grand restoration--how does this align with historical records of Israel's exiles and returns that appear less triumphant? Why does Zechariah 6:8 mention God's spirit finding rest in the north country if He is believed to be present everywhere? In 1 Chronicles 8:29-40, do the numerous names and generations have any external corroboration, or could this genealogy have been constructed later to support certain tribal claims?
