- Before Israel ever got to Babylon, God had already planned their way out.

- When Israel looked at Babylon and thought, “How could we possibly get home?”

- God is saying, "You think Babylon is impossible? Remember Egypt!

- Yesterday’s impossible is evidence that today's impossible is possible!

- Daniel saw the promise from God and prayed so it would come to pass.

- God removed obstacles (Isaiah 40:3-4, 43:16-19, 49:11)

- God protected them (Isaiah 52:11, 12)

- God promised the future, promised a way, knew who He would use, knew when it would happen, they prayed believing prayers for it, and God moved.

- God gave them the future they wanted!

- Your impossible is God's possible!

- Get ready to live the Future You Want!
