The seventh month was one of heartfelt compliance to the God given holy days. Now, after the final feast of the year, the Jews extended their worship and continued in assemble and stand with Scripture, then reform.
Rebuilt and Rebuilding
In Neh 7, with the wall rebuilt, Nehemiah puts two men over the safety of the city. In Neh 8, there is extraordinary attention to rebuilding the people through their Scripture, leading to remarkable actions.
Immovable, Unflinching, and Singular
Nehemiah faced conspiracies to assassinate him, to ruin his reputation, he faced intimidation, accusations, collaborators, traitors and corrupt religious scoundrels. All these could not stop him, he finished the wall!
Rescuing the Oppressed
After all God had been doing in Jerusalem to restore worship and her defenses, there were still those amongst them who were oppressing the poor for their own dishonorable gain. Nehemiah puts an end to that.
Determination and Defiance
Overcoming opponents and obstacles, here God’s people were surrounded by enemies with devilish intentions, along with the overwhelming work itself. Yet God raised Nehemiah to counteract the evil forces.
