The Importance of the Prophets in the History of Israel
In the Old Testament, what we call the history books are in Jewish tradition called the books of the prophets. That when Babylon fell, there was a moment there that wasn't just significant in terms of geopolitics, but something about God's work in the world and through the story of Israel. So it's the prophets who make these connections. There's some Christians who do feel like- I think like a Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell type who would see an earthquake or a certain downfall of a country and then claim that they could see God's hand behind it.
