Gographically Israel in ancient times, at the height of its power, stretched well into what is now Jordan, had the whole Sinai peninsular, and much of the Lebanon.

Religiously Israel used to be governed under the rules layed down in the bible, and had such ancient laws as one might expect from a book written 3000 years ago (eg. polygamy, sexual inequality etc.) Now Israel is governed by laws influenced by Jewish morales, yet with a strictly modern and progressive attitude. Bear in mind the constitution is only 60 years old, and is a very modern country. Constitutionally Israel 2000 years ago was ruled by kings, with a Rabbinate council as his "advisory body" , and 'Judges' to enforce the law, who doubled up as prophets. Nowadays it is a modern democracy with a legal system based on that of the USA with elements of UK law

Because the ancient Kingdom of Judah lasted until the Babylonian conquest, and was afterward a province of Babylon, Macedon and then Rome under the names of Yehud or Judea, modern efforts to found a Jewish state preferred the name Israel. The modern State of Israel was founded in 1948.
