We realise that some people experience suffering today as a direct consequence of their own actions of disobedience.
This suffering is compared to the experiences of the Israelites, who repeatedly disobeyed the Lord.
Due to their persistent disobedience, the Lord sent the Israelites into captivity in Babylon.
The period of Babylonian captivity lasted for 70 years.
The Lord actively sent prophets to warn the people about their behavior.
Messengers were sent by the Lord from time to time to deliver these warnings.
A notable aspect of the people’s behavior was their complete refusal to listen to the warnings.Because the people refused to listen, the Lord ultimately sent them into captivity.
Jeremiah 25:11-1211]And this whole land shall be a waste and an astonishment, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. [II Chron. 36:20-23; Jer. 4:27; 12:11, 12; Dan. 9:2.][12]Then when seventy years are completed, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, says the Lord, for their iniquity, and will make the land [of the Chaldeans] a perpetual waste. [Jer. 29:10.]
