## Resource

“God Keeps His Promises” focuses on the return of Jews from Babylonian exile, fulfilling prophecies given by Jeremiah and Isaiah. Cyrus, king of Persia, issued a decree allowing the Jews to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. Families returned with Zerubbabel leading the first wave, establishing genealogies and reclaiming ancestral land. Worship was prioritized, and the altar was built before the temple. Older Jews wept remembering Solomon’s grandeur, but the younger generation rejoiced at starting over. This episode shows God’s faithfulness in restoring His people and teaches the importance of worship, faith, and obedience.
