God did not leave those who remained in the empire of Persia, but delivered them from dangers, so that when their neighbors saw that God was with them, many became Jews (Esth. 8:7). Thus covenant communities were preserved in heathen lands, and these prepared the way of the Apostles and made it possible that in a single gen- eration the gospel could be preached and churches established in all parts of the I^oman Empire. In the time of the Maccabees, the Idumeans. A different people altogether f...rom the ancient Edo- mitcs, became Jews by an enforced cir- cumcision (Joseph. Antiq. XIII, ix, 1); and from this people came the Herodian family, and 20, 000 Idumeans camo into Jerusalem during the Roman invasion, and perished with that guilty city (B. J. IV, iv-v). It is thus plain, that as a matter of biblical history, the covenant commun- ity, God's Israel, was at no time, the natural progeny of the patriarchs, but at all times, it was the c-orporate com- munity bound together by the faith of Abraham and under the government of a divinely appointed head.
