Transcription: The Persians conquered the Babylonian Empire in 539 BC and soon after that returned the exiles to the Promised Land. Led by Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah, the Jews returned to Canaan in waves, reformed the temple worship, and eventually rebuilt the walls around Jerusalem. In addition, three prophets, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, all challenged the different groups of returning exiles to purify their lives and serve God fully. individual prophecies is contained in the books which bear their names, and the historical record of the era is given in Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther.
