This teaching explains the cycle of exile and redemption as taught in the Prophets. Sin causes divine punishment which results in exile into the nations. Exile in the nations causes affliction and persecution. Affliction and persecution brings about repentance. Repentance brings about restoration and reconciliation. The ultimate restoration is the end of the exile by Yeshua the Messiah. The end of the exile of the twelve tribes of Israel is associated with the judgment of the nations and the fall of Babylon during the tribulation period.
