The Prophesied Restorations of Israel and Judah After 7 Times

The 7 times prophecy of Leviticus 26 speaks of the judgment of all of the Israelites, that is, both Israel and Judah. God prophesied their expulsion from their lands to take place at the point when His chastisement of the people for their rebellions reached its limit. “I will bring the land into desolation…and I will scatter you among the heathen.” Even if the people in their exile were to later repent – “if their uncircumcised hearts be humbled” – they were still to “accept the punishment of their iniquity” for the full 7 Times. Lev. 26:32-33, 40-41

The fall and banishment of the two Israelite kingdoms took place in separate stages. The Kingdom of Israel was destroyed in 722 BC, and the Kingdom of Judah was destroyed in 588 BC. Both peoples fulfilled the required period of judgment. After the full 7 Times = 2520 sacred (360-day) years [= 2483.83 solar years] were fulfilled, separately, for both Israel and Judah, God provided for the reestablishment of their respective nations.

The falls and the exiles of these two kingdoms each took place progressively; both taking many years to be completed. As a result of this, the restorations of these two peoples likewise took place, progressively, over many years. During the eras of their falls, a number of datable key events preceded their final collapses. Each of these key events is linked, by the period of 7 Times, to a parallel key restorative event in our Latter Days.

The following articles will show, therefore, the two separate series of events that linked the falls and the restorations of Israel and Judah.
