One key difference is that the Babylonian religion was polytheistic, with a pantheon of gods and goddesses, while Jewish religion is strictly monotheistic, focusing on the worship of one God. Additionally, Babylonian religion often involved rituals and sacrifices to appease the gods, while Jewish religion emphasized ethical behavior and adherence to religious laws as a means of connecting with God.
The book of Ezekiel was written sometime between 593 and 571 BC during the Babylonian exile.
The Pharisees were a Jewish sect known for their strict adherence to the Torah and oral traditions, believing in the resurrection of the dead and the existence of angels and spirits. The Sadducees were another Jewish sect that rejected the oral tradition, denying the resurrection of the dead and the existence of angels. The Essenes were a group of Jewish ascetics who lived in communal settlements, practiced celibacy, and focused on ritual purity.
The audience in the Book of Daniel was likely the Jewish exiles living in Babylon during the time of the Babylonian exile. The book was written to provide encouragement and hope to the Jewish community in exile, emphasizing themes of faith, obedience, and God's sovereignty.

Extremely different. It is one of the big differences between the two religions. In Christianity, Jesus is the Messiah, the savior. From the Jewish perspective, Jesus may or may not have lived but at most, he would have been a false prophet. Jesus plays absolutely no role in Judaism.
