Prophecy Fulfilled Literally

The "good" and "building" and "planting" could be interpreted metaphorically, referring to spiritual restoration and growth rather than solely physical resettlement and prosperity in the land. While the verse clearly speaks of a return to the land, the nature of the "building" and "planting" could be understood in a broader, non-literal sense, encompassing spiritual and communal flourishing.
