    The tribes of Israel were not all carried off to the same place or all at once. There are records of invasions and migrations and we can trace the changes in the names of these groups throughout history. The northward and westward migrations led to a dominance of Europe, the formation of England, and ultimately a spreading around the world, fulfilling the prophecies of God's scattered people.  All of this speaks of God's sovereignty and when everything looks lost in our eyes it's not lost in God's eyes.  He's not finished with us, His people, or His plan.

    God's provision of grace is throughout the Bible even during the times of His wrath. In the last days of judgment on earth, He will again show his grace by providing a place of refuge for His remnant people of Israel, the 144,000 preachers of righteousness.  Ironically that place will be in the land of their enemies.  God's care for his people both Jew and Gentile is evident in the grace he affords despite our failures yesterday, today or in the future.

God is a date setter and just like He was faithful to fulfill the 70 years of bondage for His disobedient people, the rebuilding of the city, the coming of and cutting off of the Messiah, He will fulfill the things that have not yet come to pass in these 70 weeks of years.
