This book is intended to reach across the broad spectrum of Biblical Studies and open up new areas of learning for the student of Scripture, whether Seminary, the classroom, or the pulpit. I hae endevored to expose extrabiblical material designed to open the thoughtes of the reader to the geopolitical, financial and social matters within the world of Israel in an effort to enable to reader to more wholelistically present, teach or deliver the truth of the Bible. It is my hope that the reader of this small book will desire to learn more of the historical periods in which the Bible was written an engage in a quest to learn even more.
