During the time that the Jews were captive in Babylon, Jehovah promised them that they would eventually be restored to their homeland. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/202026248/7/0" data-bid="8-1" class="b">Jer 29:10</a>) Their misery would end. Such promises from God benefit his servants not only when they are fulfilled. Even before they come true, they give us hope as we await their fulfillment.
