Connection
Seventy years, then home
Jeremiah promised that after seventy years in Babylon God would bring His people back. Daniel read the promise, and Ezra says the decree of Cyrus was its fulfillment. The pattern of promise kept is the pattern the Gospels apply to Jesus.
The New Testament explicitly frames this as fulfillment.
Read the earlier witness
This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. Read the later witness
Why FaithGraph draws this line
The exile and the return explicitly fulfills Jeremiah 29:10.
Ezra and Chronicles explicitly present Cyrus's decree as fulfilling Jeremiah's promise of a return after seventy years. This is a fulfillment inside the Old Testament, and it shows the pattern the New Testament will use for Jesus.

Promise and fulfillment
Promise and fulfillment is the pattern by which the New Testament reads the Old: God speaks in advance through prophets, patterns, and covenants, and the Gospels show those words coming true in Jesus. FaithGraph labels each such link by the kind of evidence behind it.
