The situation must have seemed hopeless for most of the Israelites during their seventy years as captives in Babylon. But the Lord sent prophets like Ezekiel and Daniel to encourage them.
Consider the doubt that most of us felt about the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall ever disappearing. Then one day these seemingly ironclad powers just melted away. The Isrealites may have felt this way when they actually found themselves back home. God had pity on his people. He kept his promise to them. He does the same for us.
