| | ANE History: Judah in Exile |
| | 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. | | | The Jews desired to acknowledge their rightful king, yet did not dare date events by his reign "since the actual rulership had been terminated by the Babylonians." On the otaher hand, it was not unnatural for the Jewish people in Babylon to date by the year of their monarch's captivity. | | | According to Babylonian records, Belshazzar became coregent in the third year of Nabonidus' reign (553 BC) and he continued in that capacity untl the fall of Babylon (539-535 BC). |

| | So Jewish history, then, has two poles during the exile: the Jew in Babylon and the Jews who remain in Judah. | | | The salient feature of the exile, however, was that the Jews were settled in a single place by Nebuchadnezzar. | | | In 586 BC, Judah itself ceased to be an independent kingdom, and the earlier deportees found themselves without a homeland, without a state, and without a nation. |

| | Prophet Daniel, Jewish Exile, Antiochus Epiphanes |
| | The first returns of the Jews from Babylon took place in the first year of the reign of Cyrus over the Babylonian Empire, which corresponds to the year 538 BC (Ezra 1:1). | | | This is why "from the time the word 'return and rebuild Jerusalem' went out" concerns this prophecy "the Jews will be deported from Jerusalem to Babylon and stay there seventy years", which can also be understood as "the Jews will return to Jerusalem from Babylon after seventy years". | | | So the exile had to end effectively about eight years earlier than Daniel believed: the first deportation by Nebuchadnezzar took place in 597 BC. |

| | Ancient Traditions of the Messiah |
| | The Babylonian Captivity or Babylonian Exile was "the forced detention of Jews in Babylonia following the latter's conquest of the kingdom of Judah in 598/7 and 587/6 BC." | | | Because it would be unthinkable to suggest that he had completely detached himself from them, the Jews began to view him in more universalist terms, ceasing to confine him to one geographical area and even questioning his exclusive identification with one ethnic group. | | | Similarly, although nearly one thousand years later, as their exile drew to a close the Jewish people began to develop a belief in messiah-type figures who would re-establish their fortunes. |
