The Watchers

Description

Caleb climbed up on a stack of crates to examine some wooden cartons near the ceiling. Some were smaller, but some were very large. On the back side of one large wooden crate, he could see familiar characters printed in Aramaic with the words, “War trophies from Judah.” As his gaze swept the area, he could see many, many crates all labeled the same: “Relics from Zedekiah’s temple,” “Jewish Artifacts,” and “Temple treasures from Jerusalem.”

“Hey, Tamzi! Come up here,” Caleb called excitedly. “You’ve got to see this stuff! I think we’ve made an incredible discovery!”

Caleb and his Babylonian friend, Tamzi, had discovered something important—something really important. Caleb was certain of it, but who could confirm his suspicions?

The Watchers follows Caleb, Tamzi, Allamu the blind beggar, and the old prophet Daniel in their adventures during the final days of Babylon. Before their very eyes the mighty kingdom of Babylon will be overthrown by Cyrus and his Medo-Persian army. Will this be the beginning of the end for the Babylonian Jews, or will it be the sign of a new beginning? God had to keep His promises! Caleb was sure of it!
