When would the people of Israel and Judah seek God together (Jeremiah 50:4)?

Version 4 “In those days, at that time,” declares the Lord, “the people of Israel and the people of Judah together will go in tears to seek the Lord their God."

Jeremiah 50:1 - 46

ESV - 1 The word that the Lord spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet: 2 "Declare among the nations and proclaim, set up a banner and proclaim, conceal it not, and say: 'Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed. Her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.'

In my opinion, this portion of Jeremiah 50 is an end-times prophecy (a time far in the future from when Jeremiah is speaking) that will achieve its fulfillment at such time as all of Israel recognizes Christ as the promised Messiah.

Some feel this happened already when Cyrus the Mede or Persion conquered Babylon in 539 B.C. Then he released the captives from both the Assyrian and Babylonian Captivities to return to Judah. I.e. these were captives from Israel and then Judah, respectively. 

Others think the time will be yet future during the Millennnium, the thousand year reign of Christ (Rev. 20:4). See more on this in the Quest Study Bible, p. 1192.
