religions

evolved in Southwest Asia
• 3 branches-Orthodox,
Conservative and Reformed
• Not evangelical-does not seek
converts
• Concentrated in Israel, but
widely scattered in Middle
East, North Africa, Russia,
Ukraine, Europe and the
Americas
The Kingdom of Israel –1025BC
• Around 1025BC, the
Hebrews emerged from the
Sinai Peninsula and into the
Fertile Crescent.
• Ancient Israel was located in
Palestine, which was the
crossroads between
Mesopotamia & Egypt.
• The Kingdom was constantly
threatened by invaders.
• The Kingdom flourished
under King David & King
Solomon.
David & Solomon
http://lahabra.seniorhigh.net/pages/teachers/pages/math/timeline/Michelangelo_David.jpg
• David was a great general
• His son, Solomon, was very
wise.
• Solomon ruled during an era
of peace & made Jerusalem a
great city.
• But, to pay for the buildings,
he heavily taxed the people.
• When Solomon died in
930BC, civil war broke out
making the kingdom weak.
Two Kingdoms
http://www.rapturechrist.com/mapisrael3g.gif
• The Northern kingdom of Israel was
conquered by the Assyrians. The ten
tribes that lived there have been lost to
history
• The Southern Kingdom of Judah was
conquered by the Babylonians and forced
into exile.
• In 500BC, the Hebrews returned &
rebuilt Jerusalem, but came under the rule
of the Persians, the Greeks and the
Romans.
• In 70AD, the Romans forced the
Hebrews out of Palestine. This is called
the Diaspora. The Jews (Hebrews)
spread out across the world.
Rosh Hashanah
• Means literally, the "head of
the year.“
• It is the Jewish New Year.
• It ushers in a period of high
holy days for reflection and
repentance.
• A ram’s horn or shofar is
sounded. (the ram is used
because Abraham sacrificed
a ram instead of Isaac
Yom Kippur
• Means "Day of Atonement," and is
the most important holy day, the
last of the high holy days.
• It is a time of confessing of sins,
atoning or making amends for
wrongdoing, and seeking
forgiveness, and it comes ten days
after Rosh Hashanah.
• The shofar, or ram’s horn, is
sounded at the end of Yom Kippur.
Hanukkah
• Commemorates the defeat of
the Syrian Greeks by the
Maccabes in 165 B.C.
• Also the rededication of the
Temple in Jerusalem.
• Miraculously, a tiny container
of oil was found in the
Temple burned for eight days.
Passover
• A spring festival lasting seven or
eight days, recalling the angel of
death "passing over" the
Hebrews.
• As the first born of the Egyptians
were taken by death of the last of
the great plagues brought by God
on the Egyptian captors.
• A home and synagogue
ceremonial meal recalls the bitter
experience of slavery in Egypt
and the haste of the escape, or
"Exodus."

Christianity
Painting of Jesus by Rembrandt
http://www.geneveith.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/rem58.jpg
• Religion founded by Jesus.
• Jesus was born in Bethlehem,
small town near Jerusalem, during
Roman rule.
• Christians believe that Jesus is the
messiah, which is the Son of God
sent to save the Jews & restore the
Kingdom of Israel.
• Many Jews didn’t believe this.
They thought Jesus was a trouble
maker.
• In 33AD, Jesus was arrested and
sentenced to die by crucifixion.
Jesus’ Teachings
• Parables – short stories with simple moral
lessons to teach people kindness.
• Jesus said God was kind and people who
were kind and unselfish would be rewarded
by God.
• His teachings were spread outside of
Palestine after his death by his friends
(disciples)
• The Romans tried to kill all Christians, but
failed.
• Over 200 years after Jesus’ death, the
Roman emperor Constantine converted to
Christianity and made Christianity the
official religion of the empire.
