Babylon falls. Persia rises. Exile ends.
Through visions of beasts and kingdoms, Daniel reveals the real power behind it all as two kings send open letters to the world—and God's people return to their homeland in a new Exodus.

This week, the words of Jeremiah and Ezekiel play like sad country song in stereo. Jeremiah croons from the left ear, Ezekiel belts from the right, and together they narrate the collapse of Jerusalem. The temple falls, the people despair, and the lights go dark on Israel’s freedom.

But buried in the sorrow are refrains of hope—promises of something new. Jeremiah and Ezekiel both whisper about a covenant unlike Sinai’s—a future relationship with God that can’t be broken, because it rests entirely on Him. This week we’ll hear the old song one more time, and start to notice the fresh notes that hint at what the New Testament will soon resolve.

This week, we hit a breaking point in the Bible’s story—and it’s not just emotional. It’s epic. Babylon descends, Judah falls, and the promised land becomes a prison camp. But Isaiah has already shown us what’s next. In this episode, Owen walks you through the moment God's people finally face the consequences—and the breathtaking seven-part roadmap Isaiah gives us for where the story still goes from here.

This isn’t the end. It’s the end of a season. And what comes next is…unbelievable.
