A large portion of the Bible is "the prophets." The prophets warn of the coming exiles. The prophets speak for God during the exiles. Why did the people go into exile? What did they do wrong? What can we learn from the prophetic voice of the Bible? We explore the cause and nature of the exilic period of the Bible and how the Jews never really recovered from this tragedy of faith and practice. Be warned! The prophets' message is not over. It is still applicable for today.
