Exile

OT Prophecy:

Old TestamentTorah: Who are God’s people &

how should they behave?

Histories: How did God’s people behave?

Prophecy: How did God respond?

OT Prophecy:

Collections of oracles

OT Prophecy:

Poetry

“All you need is…”

OT Prophecy:

God’s word to them, not necessarily his word to us

Good interpretation:

1. What did it mean to them?

2. How does that apply to us?

For I will gather you up from all the nations and bring you home again to your

land.

And you will live in Israel, the land I gave your ancestors long ago. You will be my

people, and I will be your God.

Ezekiel 36: 24, 28
