Israel's Golden Age provides a glimpse at the peace and prosperity of Jesus Christ's millennial rule. The rags-to-riches story - everybody loves one. That is what happened about 3,000 years ago to an entire nation, when Israel ascended to supremacy in the Near East. Only five centuries earlier this small nation was enslaved in Egypt. But by the time of King Solomon - the wisest, richest and most honored monarch ever - Israel's dominion stretched from Egypt on the west to the Euphrates River on the east (II Chronicles 9:26), from Hamath on the north to Ezion Geber at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba on the south (II Chronicles 8:4, I Kings 9:26). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
