History of
the Book of Ezra
Two
stories of God fulfilling His promise to return His
people to the land of promise (Jerusalem) after seventy
years of exile, are found in this Old Testament Book of
Ezra. The first return from Babylon is under the rule of
Zerubbabel to rebuild the Temple. The second return was
led by Ezra 58 years later to rebuild the spiritual
condition of the people. Although these two accounts are
found in this one book the Book
of Esther fits in the 58 year period between these
two "exodus" accounts where Esther rules as
queen in Persia. The Book of Ezra's author is most
likely Ezra. He was a direct priestly descendant of
Aaron through Eleazar, Phineas, and Zadok. He was also a
contemporary of Nehemiah. He wrote this book probably
between 457 B.C. and 444 B.C. During this time frame
Socrates is in Greece, Confucius is in China and Gautama
Buddha is in India.
