The Exiled
The Exiled; The Journey
Set in ancient Jerusalem during the Chaldean invasion, Exiled is a gripping tale of survival, faith, and moral conflict. As the city teeters on the edge of destruction, a corrupt priest named Perez hides his devotion to the brutal god Molech behind a mask of charity.
Leah, a former slave, risks everything to save her son from sacrifice, aided by the faithful scribe Ovadyah. Meanwhile, young Michael wrestles with his father's unwavering belief in divine protection amid growing danger.
Exiled is a powerful story of courage, conviction, and the clash between true devotion and deadly deception.
The story follows families who lost homes and loved ones in Jerusalem’s destruction, left with only memories and a few belongings. As they journey onward, they hold Sabbath meetings to sustain faith, recalling history and Jeremiah’s words that God’s judgment reflects their people’s choices, though it feels like abandonment. They draw strength from parallels like Adam and Chava’s exile, build new relationships, and discover hope in uncertainty. Leah begins writing, while Recah aids an abandoned pregnant girl. Through such acts and God’s quiet provisions, they find light amid ruins and hope for the future.
