JEREMIAH 29:11 "FOR I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU," DECLARES THE LORD, "PLANS TO PROSPER YOU AND NOT TO HARM YOU, PLANS TO GIVE YOU HOPE AND A FUTURE." GOD COMMANDED THE ISRAELITES TO GET RID OF THE CANAANITES WHEN THEY ENTERED THE PROMISED LAND FOR FEAR THEY WOULD TAKE ON THEIR PAGAN RELIGION AND WORSHIP. THE CANAANITE PEOPLE  HAD CORRUPTED AND PERVERTED GOD'S TRUTH. BECAUSE THEY DID NOT GET RID OF THE CANAANITES, THE ISRAELITES WERE VERY DISOBEDIENT. GOD SENT THEM INTO EXILE TO BABYLON FOR 70 YEARS. ALTHOUGH THEY WENT INTO EXILE  TO BABYLON, GOD STILL HAD A PLAN FOR THEIR LIVES.
