Desolation, exile and captivity were the inevitable destiny of the Abrahamic covenant household. God had warned of this outcome through Moses and His prophets, and now it had come upon both houses of Israel. And yet this wasn't to be the Lord's final word- His covenant oaths to Abraham and David would stand, however impossible their fulfillment seemed in the context of such horrific desolation and despondency. Yahweh would one day end Israel's exile, not as a matter of geography, but realized sonship. This message takes a closer look at the scriptural theme of exile, as that which conjoins and carries along the salvation history that reached its climax in Jesus the Messiah.
