In this episode of "Under the Hood," Sam and Will explore the compelling story of Nehemiah, presenting him as a historical figure and a powerful "type of Christ." They begin by setting the historical stage, detailing Israel's decline from King Solomon's glory to the Babylonian and Persian exiles, leading to Jerusalem's destruction. Nehemiah, a cupbearer to the Persian king, learns of his people's suffering and Jerusalem's ruined walls, prompting him to weep, mourn, and pray for days. The hosts highlight Nehemiah's Christ-like heart, as he leaves the comfort of the palace to intercede for and rebuild his broken city, mirroring Jesus's descent from heaven to redeem humanity.
