What was used to decide who would live in Jerusalem after the return from Babylon?
Reading from the book Ezra:
1 Cyrus, king of Persia had just begun to rule Babylon. He decided to make a new *law. Men wrote it down. And he sent out men with the news. He sent them to all the people that he ruled. God had caused him to do this. God had said to Jeremiah years before that he would send the *Israelites home (Jeremiah 29:10).
v2 This is what Cyrus, the king of Persia said:
'The *Lord, the God of *heaven, has given me power over all the *kingdoms on the earth. He has said that I must build a *temple for him at Jerusalem. That is the biggest city in Judah. v3 Any of Israel's people who live in my land can return to Jerusalem. They must build a *temple there for the *Lord, the God of Israel. He is the God of Jerusalem. I hope that he will be with those people. v4 Many *Israelites are living here now. The people who live near to them must give *silver and gold to them. And they must give animals and other things to the *Israelites for *offerings to their God. They will take these gifts to him in Jerusalem's *temple.'
v5 Then the leaders of Judah and Benjamin's families and the *priests and the *Levites prepared to go to Jerusalem. God had said that they must build the *Lord's house there. And he had caused them to want to do this. v6 All the people who lived near them gave them animals, gold, *silver and other things for *offerings. They also gave them many valuable gifts. v7 Then King Cyrus remembered the things that Nebuchadnezzar had taken away from the *temple in Jerusalem (Daniel 1:1-2). Nebuchadnezzar had put them in his god's house. v8 Mithredath kept Cyrus's valuable things safe. So Cyrus asked him to fetch the things that belonged to Jerusalem's *temple. Then Mithredath gave them to Sheshbazzar, an important leader from Judah.

Is Babylon a current city ie Rome or is Babylon a person in the Book of Revelation?
Some say that the references to Babylon were really references to Rome. Since the authorities would have considered it treason to refer in this way to Rome, it was safer to use the name of Babylon, while Christians would have privately known what was meant. Another view is that when the Book says Babylon, it means Babylon. This view sees the Book of Revelations as consisting of two layers: a more ancient, spiritual layer that was merged into a Christian book with messages to the early churches. On this view, the more ancient layer could have been from Judaic mysticism, or from a form of proto-Christianity.

What is the history of the Book of Psalms?
A:Most of the psalms are traditionally attributed to Kings David and Solomon, and on that basis would probably have been written in Jerusalem during the tenth century BCE. However, the psalms were a literary genre that did not exist at the time attributed to Kings David and Solomon. Biblical scholars believe that the psalms were written over a period of more than two hundred years during and after the Babylonian Exile, in which case some may have been written in Babylon and elsewhere in Mesopotamia, while others were written in Jerusalem after the return. The final compilation of the Book of Psalms no doubt took place in Jerusalem.

Who was both prophet to gods captive and Gentile kings?
Daniel would be the one I would think of here. Although the line of Jerusalem's kings was killed off by Nebuchadnezzar when he destroyed Jerusalem, there was one of them that was taken captive to Babylon at an earlier time along with the other nobles of Jerusalem that would have included Daniel. Jehoiachin, also called Jeconiah, only ruled as king for 3 and a half months before being taken captive to Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar then made his uncle, Zedekiah, the ruling vassal king in Jerusalem.Daniel then was a prophet during Babylonian captivity and gave interpretations of prophetic dreams or other prophecies to gentile kings Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, and Darius the Mede.

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses say that Jerusalem was destroyed in 607 BC?
It was Babylon, NOT Jerusalem. By using the year 607B.C., they are able to match up a time prophecy that they have taken from the bible to show that Jesus became king of the heavens in the year 1914. To change to the date that archaeologists accept would move this prophecy which is a MAJOR part of their beliefs. To change their beliefs like that would put a large portion of what they believe into question.
