Timeline for History of Israel
The land of Israel has been populated by the Jewish people since 2000 BC. Here's the timeline, in case you didn't realize that it is their homeland, as designated by Yahweh.

- 1900 BC: Abraham chosen by God as the Father of the Jewish Nation.
- 1900 BC: Isaac, Abraham's son, rules over Israel.
- 1850 BC: Jacob, son of Issac, rules over Israel.
- 1400 BC: Moses leads the people out of Egypt and back to Israel.
- 1010 BC: King David unites the 12 tribes into one nation.
- 970 BC: King Solomon, son of David, builds the first temple structure in Jerusalem

- 930 BC: Israel is divided into two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah.
- 800s BC: The rise of the prophets, God's messengers.
- 722 BC: Kingdom of Israel is conquered by Assyrians.
- 605 BC: Kingdom Judah is conquered by the Babylonians.
- 586 BC: Solomon's Temple is destroyed by the Babylonians.
- 539 BC: Persians conquer the Babylonians and take control of Israel.
- 538 BC: The Jews return to Israel from exile.
- 520 BC: The Temple is rebuilt.
- 450 BC: Reforms made by Ezra and Nehemiah.
- 433 BC: Malachi is the end of the prophetic age.
- 432 BC: The last group of Jews return from exile.
- 333 BC: The Greeks conquer the Persian empire.
- 323 BC: The Egyptian and Syrian empire take over Israel.
- 167 BC: Hasmonean's recapture Israel, and the Jews are ruled independently.
- 70 BC: Romans conquer Israel.
- 20 BC: King Herod builds the "third" temple
- 6 BC: Jesus Christ is born in Bethlehem
- 70 AD: Romans destroy the temple

After that, the people were captives to the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Crusaders. Through all of these events, the Jewish people continued to live in Israel. There were more or less of them, depending on the centuries, but there was never a time when the Jews didn't live in the land. They stayed, they built their communities, they raised their families, practiced their faith and they suffered at the hands of many outside rulers, but they always kept their faith. It is what sustains them, even now.
