流亡时期

-586 公元前 — -538 公元前

犹大王国(南国)时代(约公元前930至586年)维系了大卫王室的传承,历代先知在此期间活跃布道,直至公元前586年耶路撒冷与圣殿被巴比伦摧毁。

重要事件

Nebuchadnezzar's Babylonian army breaches Jerusalem's walls, burns Solomon's Temple, and carries the people of Judah into exile. The darkest hour in Israel's history — yet the prophets maintained hope.

但以理在巴比伦

~605–536 BC

Daniel, taken captive as a young man, serves faithfully in the Babylonian and Persian courts. God delivers him from the lion's den and grants him apocalyptic visions of world empires and the coming Kingdom of God.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse to worship Nebuchadnezzar's golden image and are thrown into a blazing furnace. God delivers them unharmed — a fourth figure 'like a son of the gods' walks with them in the flames.
