Three Reasons For Jubilations

By

Prophet Hananiah,

Prophet Mishael

And

Prophet Azariah

The Reasons

Hananiah: Son of man, the Israelites rejoiced greatly when King Cyrus gave the command and authority, all over Babylon, for the Israelites to return to Jerusalem. The Israelites were rejoicing for three major reasons.

One, God is love. When the Israelites were in Jerusalem, they did not love God. They turned their back on God. The Temple was disorganized and desolate. The walls were broken and fallen down, with nobody taking care of the Temple.

Hananiah: Number 2 reason was because King Cyrus was hearing and obeying what God was saying. Therefore, God was revealing various things to him.

Number 4

Jubilations And Celebrations

Hananiah: And son of man, as soon as he gave that command, the Israelites shouted in jubilations, ovations of joy. There were jubilations and celebrations, because that was when the Israelites realized their mistake for many years. God could have said, “You Israelites have to wait, for you people to learn many more things.” So, the Israelites longed to return back home, to Jerusalem, where they would worship God in perfection. That was why the Israelites knew that Jerusalem is the place where God was standing, live and direct – both spiritually and physically.

Between Jerusalem And Babylon

Hananiah: Babylon was just for learning purpose. And after learning the theory in Babylon, they had to come before God in Jerusalem, to do the practical.

So, every Israelite was rejoicing, because they were going home to Jerusalem, to see and meet God – the God of signs and wonders, the glorious and mighty Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts! The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the God of Holy Moses, who performed many glorious and marvellous works, through the ancient Prophets and Saints.
