God sent covenant curses to Israel leading up to the exile. During the exile, He promises to reverse the covenant curses, turning them into blessings. Instead of drought and famine, there would be abundance and fruitfulness.
My question is: Why?
This is all the more fascinating to me in reading Haggai, where it seems that we need a nuanced understanding of the fact that God would reverse the curses in the restoration, since in Haggai 1:6-11; 2:20ff (cf. Malachi 2:1-2; 3:9), the Lord is dealing with restored Israel in the same way that He had dealt with Israel before the exile (IE, sending drought, etc).
Would love to get you guys' thoughts on this. Thoughtful responses please.
