Father Mike Schmitz: 我认为这些介绍性的内容对于理解每个不同时期的背景非常有价值。在流亡时期，上帝将他的子民带到一个与他们灵性现实相符的物理地方。我们常常不遵守与上帝的圣约，就像古代的以色列人一样，所以圣殿被摧毁了，我们也被流放。但上帝并没有抛弃我们，他希望我们能够悔改并回到他身边。即使在流亡中，我们也要记住上帝的应许，他会医治我们，恢复我们与他的关系。 Jeff Cavins: 流亡的真正含义是将你带到灵性上所处的位置，远离上帝的同在。在流亡期间，人们开始聚集在家庭厨房餐桌旁，这成为了献祭的地方，法利赛人也开始发展成为教师和领袖。然而，流亡最悲伤的部分是有些人开始喜欢它，忘记了上帝的同在。我们应该像浪子回头一样，停下来问问自己，是否比以前更喜欢上帝的同在，然后回到上帝身边。先知们提醒我们，上帝的话语是活泼而有效的，我们应该将它们视为今天对我们生活中的讲话，并祈求上帝给我们渴望和爱，带我们回到一个更好的地方。

"Welcome to the Exile period! Jeff Cavins joins Fr. Mike to introduce the eighth biblical period, which covers the fall of the Southern Kingdom, Judah, and its exile into Babylon. They explain how the physical exile of Judah was representative of their spiritual realities, and ultimately oriented towards the healing and restoration of their unfaithfulness.
