And so in one or two verses of Scripture the coming calamity arrives and like a tsunami of terror, overwhelms the land and the prophesied 70 years of captivity passes before them.

Make no mistake about it, Ezra is one of the greatest Jews that ever lived and is responsible for ordering the Old Testament Canon which we have today, the synagogue system, and the form which our churches used to get much of their functionality, even down to our wooden pulpits.
Ezra and his Holy spirit moved cohorts came back to the land for two reasons: First to rebuild the temple and second, to ensure the genetic purity of the Jewish people. Remember, the battle between good and evil is expressed in the Bible as nothing short of a ‘seed’ war.

Highlight Verses | 2 Chronicles 36:15-16
And the Lord God of their fathers sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place. But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, till there was no remedy. NKJV
