Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 29:10

10 ¶ For thus saith the LORD, that after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and perform my good word towards you, in causing you to return to this place .

From this Text appears that the seventy years Captivity were to be accounted from the first carrying into Captivity in the time of Iehojachin, so that eleven years of it were elapsed, before Z[illegible: 1 letter]d[illegible: 1 letter]kiah was carried away. Whatever, saith the Prophet, these dreamers tell you, you must abide 70 years in Babylon accounted from your first going thither, it is therefore your Wisdom to acquiesce in the Will of God, and to compose your selves, and to incourage you, the Lord by me assureth you that after those seventy years shall be expired, a[illegible: 1 letter] he hath now visited you with evil, so he will visit you for good, and fulfil the promise he hath made to you, and you shall return again to Ier[illegible: 1 letter]salem: we have the fulfilling of this recorded in 2 Chron. 36.21.22. Ezra 1.1. The promise was before, chap. 25.12. and 27.22. Daniel understood it from the words of this Prophecy, Dan. 9.2. which put him upon prayer, at the expiration of that time.
