Why was the Southern Kingdom of Judah taken captive to Babylon for 70 years?
What is the purpose of Daniel's 70 Weeks Prophecy?
Does the church, the body of Christ, have a role in the 70 Weeks prophecy?
So, let's begin by answering the first questions; Why was the Southern Kingdom of Judah taken captive to Babylon for 70 years?
We find the answer in 2nd Chronicles chapter 36 verses 20 and 21.
"And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia: To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years." - 2 Chronicles 36:20–21 KJV
The Southern Kingdom of Judah was taken captive to Babylon because they did not observe the 7th year Sabbath letting the land rest. The land was to rest every seventh year. We find that command in Leviticus chapter 25 verse 4.
