How did Judaism change under Babylonian and Persian rule?

A:

Several books of the Hebrew scriptures were written during the Babylonian Exile, while others were edited or completed. For example, Leviticus is attributed to the 'Priestly Source', writing during this period. The Priestly Source also added further material to Genesis, before it was finalised by the anonymous source now known as the Redactor. Chapters 40-66 of the Book of Isaiah were also written during and shortly after the Exile, and some changes and additions were made to the earlier passages.

Judaism adopted some beliefs that closely parallel those of the Persians, including angels, Satan, individual judgement and heaven as a place of reward. Most scholars believe that by the time of the Return from Exile, Judaism was monotheistic.

How does Christianity compare to the code of Hammurabi?

The code of Hammurabi has a lot of Christian "rules" and "punishments" BUT, the difference is that Christians speak spiritually. Those guidelines from the code of Hammurabi are good and they taught respect in those days but there was no love behind it, only fear, fear of man. In Christianity, it is all written out of Love and with simple truth of "I just want my bride to be with me!" Jesus just wants his beloveds to be with him, so, he puts commandments, not to limit us but to help us spend an eternity with him!!!! :)

Who is the Chaldean king who built the hanging gardens?

Accounts indicate that the garden was built by King Nebuchadnezzar, who ruled the city for 43 years starting in 605 BC (There is an alternative story that the gardens were built by the Assyrian Queen Semiramis during her five year reign starting in 810 BC). This was the height of the city's power and influence and King Nebuchadnezzar is known to have constructed an astonishing array of temples, streets, palaces and walls. According to accounts, the gardens were built to cheer up Nebuchadnezzar's homesick wife, Amyitis. Amyitis, daughter of the king of the Medes, was married to Nebuchadnezzar to create an alliance between the two nations. The land she came from, though, was green, rugged and mountainous, and she found the flat, sun-baked terrain of Mesopotamia depressing. The king decided to relieve her depression by recreating her homeland through the building of an artificial mountain with rooftop gardens.
