Why Did God Allow the Babylonian Exile?

In this episode of Under the Hood, Sam and Will explore the Babylonian Exile—one of the most devastating yet hope-filled moments in the Bible’s story. Six centuries before Jesus, Jerusalem falls, the temple is destroyed, and God’s people are scattered across the ancient world. Why would a loving God allow this? And how could judgment possibly serve redemption? Using Scripture alongside archaeological evidence—from Nebuchadnezzar’s inscriptions to Babylonian records of Jewish exiles—this episode shows how God’s justice, heartbreak, and sovereignty work together. What looks like defeat becomes the very groundwork for the spread of the gospel, setting the stage for the Messiah and a new covenant of grace. Watch to see how exile, suffering, and loss are never the end of the story—and how God weaves even judgment into His redemptive plan. ⸻ Chapters 00:00 - Intro: The Bible under the hood 00:17 - Setting the Stage: What is the Babylonian Exile? 01:24 - Moses’ Warning: Blessings and curses foretold 02:28 - God’s Judgment and Patience Worn Thin 03:14 - Jeremiah and the Heartbreak of God 05:16 - Two Evils: Forsaking the fountain of living waters 07:46 - Nebuchadnezzar and the Coming Destruction 09:48 - Archaeology Confirms the Exile 11:43 - Jerusalem Falls: Temple and city destroyed 13:57 - Hope in Exile: Jeremiah’s letter to Babylon 16:21 - “Plans for a Future and a Hope” Explained 17:18 - Promise of a New Covenant 19:11 - Redemptive History Reversed 21:16 - Scattered but Not Lost: Persia and Return 23:49 - Exile Prepares the World for the Gospel 26:00 - God’s Justice and Redemption Today 27:03 - Outro: Hope beyond judgment ⸻ Links SunlitStudios.com @TheBibleShowPodcast @UnderTheHoodFL ⸻ Hashtags #BabylonianExile #BibleHistory #Jeremiah29 #OldTestament #BiblicalArchaeology #Nebuchadnezzar #RedemptiveHistory #BiblePodcast #ChristianYouTube #UnderTheHood #JudgmentAndGrace #Messiah
