I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, And seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly."
This was fulfilled in the two tribes, toward the end of the seventy years, when many doubtless, together with Daniel, “set their face unto the Lord God to seek by prayer and supplication with fasting and sackcloth and ashes” Daniel 9:2-3; and again in, those “who waited for redemption in Jerusalem” Luke 2:25, Luke 2:38, when our Lord came; and it will be fulfillment in all at the end of the world. “The first flash of thought on the power and goodness of the true Deliverer, is like the morning streaks of a new day. At the sight of that light, Israel shall arise early to seek his God; he shall rise quickly like the Prodigal, out of his wanderings and his indigence.”
