About this episode
This episode explores the aftermath of Jerusalem's fall and the feelings of loss and abandonment experienced by its people.
In the aftermath of the fall of Jerusalem the population was lost, bereft of king and temple. Their prosperity and security had been taken from them and family members had been carted away to a distant land. But perhaps worst of all, their own deity seemed to have turned his back on them. But when he finally took notice he didn’t offer comfort, but wrath.
