Deuteronomy speaks of dispersion among peoples. Assyrian and Babylonian accounts in Kings describe distinct historical captivities; those events must not be collapsed into one undated exile.
Prophets pair judgment with promises of return, renewed obedience and restored community. Each passage should first be read for its named audience and literary setting.
Several prophets reuse exodus, highway, wilderness and sea imagery when describing future deliverance. Whether a passage is literal, typological, historical or future is an interpretation that must be argued rather than assumed.
Kingdom passages emphasize justice, peace, instruction and righteous rule centered on Zion and Davidic hope.
Record the speaker, audience, date, covenant background, genre, repeated images, near historical horizon and proposed later fulfillment. Mark inference as interpretation.
