		After the fall of the first Temple, the Jews of the Babylonian exile were headed by an individual called the "Resh Galuta," an Aramaic term meaning literally the head of the exile.
		The office of the exilarch lasted from the Babylonian exile through the 6th century, as the Jews continued their exile under different regimes (the Arsacids and Sassanids).
		The chief of the golah or prince of the exiles held a position of honor which, recognized by the state, carried with it certain definite prerogatives, and was hereditary in a family that traced its descent from the royal Davidic house.

	Prophet Daniel, Jewish Exile, Antiochus Epiphanes
		This page is about the prophet Daniel, the Babylonian exile of the Jews, their return and the time when they were persecuted by Antiochus Epiphanes.
		It is therefore necessary to calculate the duration of the exile from Jeremiah's announcement made before the exile and not from the moment when the exile effectively began.
		We are going to see that the seven (exile), sixty-two (reconstruction), and one weeks (persecution) effectively express a theoretical proportion valid for different historical contexts, which apply this theoretical value only in an approximate manner because they prefigure an event that will only arrive in the end times with the Antichrist.

	History of babylon: exile
		In the history of Babylon, Exile was second in importance to the Exodus in Jewish history.
		The Books of I and II Kings were written about the period leading up to the Babylonian exile to show the people how their plight was the result of Israel’s sin.

	Hebrew History: The Exile, 597-538 BC
		The exile was unexplainable; Hebrew history was built on the promise of Yahweh to protect the Hebrews and use them for his purposes in human history.
		They had betrayed Yahweh and allowed the Mosaic laws and cultic practices to become corrupt; the Babylonian Exile was proof of Yahweh's displeasure.
		It is most likely that the Torah took its final shape during this period or shortly afterward, and that it became the central text of the Jewish faith at this time as well.

	Exile
		The salient feature of the exile, however, was that the Jews were settled in a single place by Nebuchadnezzar.
		They called themselves the "gola," ("exiles"), or the "bene gola" ("the children of the exiles"), and within the crucible of despair and hopelessness, they forged a new national identity and a new religion.
		So this period is marked by a resurgence in Jewish tradition, as the exiles looked back to their Mosaic origins in an effort to revive their original religion.

	ANE History: Judah in Exile
		According to contemporary Babylonian records, Belshazzr (mentioned in the Book of Daniel; the Akkadian form of his name was Bel-shur-usur, meaning "Bel protects the king") was the eldest son and coregent of Nabonidus.
		The Nabunaid Chronicle thus relates that the joyful acclamation of Cyrus by the Babylonians was cut short by the death of both the governor and someone else.
		Although no document of Babylonian origin affirms that Belshazzar was actually present at the fall of Babylon, there is, on the otaher hand, no positive evidence against his participation in the events of 539 BC.

		Studying the surrounding verses and commentary leads to the conclusion that one-eighth of the ten tribes escaped the exile, having associated themselves with the tribe of Judah.
		It is describing the exile of the ten tribes as being so powerful (splintering), as to preclude them from returning after the Babylonian exile.
		They were part of the first Judean exile in 3327, which was over one hundred years after the final exile of the ten tribes.

	Babylonian Exile and Beyond
		Before the exile, Judah was a monarchy that had taken on the traditions of "Israel," the tribal community once united under King David.
		After the exile, Judah was politically rebuilt as a Persian satrapy, a semi-autonomous administrative province, ruled by a priestly elite that remigrated from Babylonia and whose views and attitudes were shaped by the religious blue-prints for reconstruction drafted in the exile.
		In other words, "Judaism" was not a monolithic practice and the Babylonian diaspora was not the only form in which Judah- and Israel-related traditions were continued after the destruction of the states of Israel and Judah.

		Thus the total number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen generations; from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen generations; from the Babylonian exile to the Messiah, fourteen generations.

		The only way Israel could first be crushed by Assyria and then crushed by the Babylonians (obviously at the same time that the southern kingdom of Judah fell to Babylon) is if the Israelites were in Judah, as both Jeremiah and Ezekiel testify that they were.
		The Israelite exile happened in the century previous to the Babylonian exile of Judah.
		Isaiah chapters 40 onward are a composition written by a prophet in the school of Isaiah at about the time of the return from Babylonian exile (prophecies are addressed to Cyrus in person, and the prophecy describes the return from exile).
