The Empire Series is a collection of four separate books written by Alonzo T. Jones which cover the important nations of the Bible from the world flood to the second coming of Christ. The series is not merely a scholarly presentation of the history, but also the lessons to be learned from each of the nations; not merely their impact and importance of the past, but also their lingering and even yet active importance in this world's final hours. The four books contain some 69 maps and illustrations overall. Volume one of this present publication contains books I & II of the series--Great Empires of the Bible, and Great Empires of Prophecy, respectively. The first book covers from the world flood to the captivity of Judah by the empire of Babylon.
