Exile is to ancient Israel is what crucifixion of Jesus is to Church. Return from exile (restoration) is to Israel what resurrection of Jesus is to Church.
Before exile, tradition had become a prop. Landholding had become a prop. Power had become a prop. God had to take away all their props so they can come back to God.
The Bible is God’s response to human suffering… “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.”
Romans 15:4
