Exile feels like abandonment. In Hebrew, it carries the double meaning of being uncovered β and being seen. Sometimes God finds us in the places we thought He couldn't reach.
gΔlΓ’ Β· H1540 Β· HEBREW
The Hebrew word gΔlΓ’ (ΧΦΈΦΌΧΦΈΧ) means to be uncovered, carried away, or sent into exile β and shares its root with the word for revelation, because it captures the stripping away of everything familiar that exposes what is real, the discovery that God is present even in the land of the enemy, and the unexpected blessing and purpose that can emerge in displacement. Exile is never the final chapter.
