Israel’s History: In Exile

Israel’s History: In Exile

In this session, we carry on with our survey of the Old Testament, looking at the period of exile.  The timeline has shifted forward, and the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel are located in this time period.  We will see in this overview of the exile that God does plan to restore His kingdom, even by using pagan, non-Jewish kings to accomplish His purposes.  And as we approach this study, it will be important to remember that these studies of the Old Testament serve ultimately to reveal how God accomplishes his redemptive purposes in Christ Jesus.
