To go into exile is to be subject to life as a stranger, as an alien, as a stateless person, outside the pale of ordinary political life. The Jewish diaspora was, of course, a test for the Jewish people. It was as well, though, also a test for the gentile world. It was important for God to see how kind the gentile world could be to the 'stranger' nation.
The coming world-wide armaggedon in the twilight of the oil gods will be the result, in no small part, of the abuse the world has been heaping on the Jewish nation. More, more, more; and my own kind, my own kind, my own kind – these are the cries of the rational secularist, the one who denies the role of right-hemispheric God in the world.
