may 15, 587 BC - Period of Babylonian Exile 587BC-538BC
Description:
*Conflict: Living outside the Promised Land, without the temple. Some regarded exile as Yahweh’s use of foreign powers to punish his people. Exile was not simply geographic displacement but had become a reflection of the spiritual estrangement from Yahweh, and the geographic return alone afterwards could not bridge the divide or end the exile.Added to timeline:
