A Prophecy Fulfilled
All commentators agree that the 70-year exile is a direct fulfillment of God's word spoken through the prophet Jeremiah. Scholars generally date this period from around 605 BC, when the prophecy was given, to 536 BC, when the first exiles returned. This historical fulfillment demonstrates God's sovereign control over nations and the absolute reliability of His prophetic word.
