The idea was to get the chosen people into shape so the Messiah would then emerge from them and lead the entire Gentile world to God. This is prophesied to happen in the Old Testament, even the enemies of the Jewish people and their former oppressors in Egypt


Quote:Was there nothing going on outside of the Middle East worth mentioning? The Han Dynasty maybe?

The Middle East, Babylon and Egypt was essentially their civilized world they won't have know much about what was beyond it. Ethiopia seems to get a mentioned quite a lot in the Bible though.
