Exile: Physical and Spiritual
- Exile isn't just being kicked out; it's a physical move mirroring a spiritual reality.
- God places us physically where we already are spiritually, far from Him.
Discipline Through Enemies
- God uses enemies like Assyrians, Babylonians, and even modern powers to discipline his people.
- This divine discipline aims to correct and refine, not simply to punish.
Daniel's Exile
- The Babylonian exile occurred in three waves, starting in 605 BC with Daniel's capture.
- Daniel, despite temptation, remained faithful, becoming a key figure in salvation history.
