The land enjoyed its sabbath rests; until the seventy years were completed in fulfillment of the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah

 2 Chronicles 36:1-33

Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. The king of Egypt dethroned him in Jerusalem and imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. The king of Egypt made Eliakim, a brother of Jehoahaz, king over Judah and Jerusalem and changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Necho took Eliakim’s brother Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt.

Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God. 

Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked him and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar also took to Babylon articles from the temple of the Lord and put them in his temple there.

Jehoiachin was eighteen[e] years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days.

Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke the word of the Lord.

He carried into exile to Babylon the remnant, who escaped from the sword, and they became servants to him and his successors until the kingdom of Persia came to power. The land enjoyed its sabbath rests; all the time of its desolation it rested, until the seventy years were completed in fulfillment of the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah.

Why?

The word of the Lord never fails. from beginning to forever.

All of us are sinners, if anyone can repent and turn to the Lord through Jesus Christ, then has the chance to survive and may enter heaven.

What we can do and live in peace full of love, and trust in the Lord and Jesus Christ is our only way to get eternal life

How?

History is the story of the Lord, we are sinners, we have to keep walking in faith and live out the word of the Lord.
