Exile Theology in Judaism Exile as a Divine Punishment

Abstract

In this work, we have talked about Jewish exile in the time of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. In the Jewish literature this exile was evaluated not only the historical, but also theological and ideological. In the Jewish literature, the exile is not just a bare historical event; it was also considere as the divine punishment in turn of their sins, while their evildoers who expelled them in the exile were also seen as envoys whom God had selected as the punishment of the Jewish people. However, in the matter of their repentance and correction of themselves they would have some divine promises that would make them turn to their own land
