Jerusalem and the Babylonian Captivity

In the six hundreds b c, that you get this kind of form movement in jerusalem. When judah is this last little hold out kingdom, we have lok, around a hundred years or so to go before we get the destruction of the first temple. So the first temple then is destroyed by the babylonians, the new aggressive super power, in 597 b c. In the in captivity, judaism gets more kind of organized, codified, and gets new spiritual inspiration. Eventually, the persians take over. They are much more supportive of people following their own customs, worshipping their own gods.
