Well, we're going to continue in our study of the book of Ezra. We're now ready for Ezra chapter six. And again, when we look at this chapter, we need to acknowledge that it is not written in Hebrew, but rather Aramaic, and we're going to pay very close attention to what the Word of God literally says, because many times we see that translators are careless. They don't revere the Word of God. They don't have enough reverence for the Word of God, and they are careless with their translations. So I would invite you to pay close attention to what is stated as we translate this sixth chapter, the first 12 verses, and then next week the next half of this chapter.

Well, in this portion of Scripture, we're going to see in Ezra chapter five the rebuilding of the temple. Now we know that during the time of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, we find that two primary things happen. First and foremost, Jerusalem was destroyed, and not only Jerusalem, but also the temple in Jerusalem. And the second primary thing is that the people were carried into exile into Babylon, and they remained there.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org📍 424 E Central Blvd, Suite 247, Orlando, FL 32801📞 1 (407) 421-9934Email: [email protected] free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephonehttps://get.theapp.co/yjjqhttps://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/

Well again. we're going to see that same biblical truth, and that is this: because the children of Israel were doing what is right in the eyes of God, there was much opposition against them, and this is a principle that's true in every generation, when you are faithful, when you are committed to the things of God, be prepared to suffer. There will be great opposition against you, but do not let this opposition be a source of discouragement.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org📍 424 E Central Blvd, Suite 247, Orlando, FL 32801📞 1 (407) 421-9934Email: [email protected] free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephonehttps://get.theapp.co/yjjqhttps://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/

In this study, I want us to focus in on two words. The first is victory, and the second is restoration. And you recall that David was most discouraged, and the reason for that was very simple. There were those from his own people that wanted to stone him to death, they were so grieved about what had happened in that city called Ziglag, and we see that not only was the city destroyed, and there was great spoils taken from the people, but also the women, and the sons, and the daughters, they too were taken into captivity, and the people, in a very human way, needed someone to blame. And who was that? It was David. But what did David do?https://get.theapp.co/yjjqTo donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org📍 424 E Central Blvd, Suite 247, Orlando, FL 32801📞 +1 (407) 602-1915📧 Email: [email protected] free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephonehttps://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/

Well, we left off last week in chapter three of Ezra, and now we're ready for verse eight. And again, we're seeing a restoration. We saw last week that under the leadership of Ezra, there were people that they returned to Judah, more specifically, they came to Jerusalem, and they began to do something. We saw that there was a commitment from the people to build the altar, and we're going to see at this time that there's going to be additional work being done.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org📍 424 E Central Blvd, Suite 247, Orlando, FL 32801📞 1 (407) 421-9934Email: [email protected] free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephonehttps://get.theapp.co/yjjqhttps://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/

Well, we're now ready to move into chapter three of the book of Ezra. Now, this third chapter is about change. This is who God is, and what did we see? We saw that there was people in exile, the Babylonian exile, but God, at the right time, exactly after these 70 years were completed, He began to do what He said He was always going to do, and that is to bring the people back to the land. And I want us to look at this scripture again, Ezra chapter three, and verse verse one.

Well, last week we started the book of Ezra, we completed the first chapter, and now we're ready for chapter two. Now, what are we going to encounter in this chapter? Again, the faithfulness of God. I cannot speak too much about God's faithfulness, He is forever faithful. Now, God's faithfulness is always related to His truth. What does that mean? It means that God is going to reveal truth, and then He is going to act in light of His truth. So, if we want to experience God, we need to be people that are committed to the truth of God.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org📍 424 E Central Blvd, Suite 247, Orlando, FL 32801📞 1 (407) 421-9934Email: [email protected] free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephonehttps://get.theapp.co/yjjqhttps://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/

Well, we have completed our study of the book of Numbers, and now we're going to move into another book, and that is the book of Ezra. And with Ezra, we're also going to continue. After we conclude, God willing, the book of Ezra, we are going to conclude or continue into the book of Nehemia or Nehemiah, and we see that these two men were very influential in bringing about a spiritual renewal for the children of Israel.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org📍 424 E Central Blvd, Suite 247, Orlando, FL 32801📞 1 (407) 421-9934Email: [email protected] free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephonehttps://get.theapp.co/yjjqhttps://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/

Thing that we can say about the life of David is that it was difficult, and why was that? Not necessarily because of sin or disobedience, but rather David, as we've talked about several times, he was a man after God's own heart, he wanted to please God, he wanted to serve God. And when we are committed to the purposes and the plans of God, be prepared to suffer. The world does not like faithful people, and those who belong to the world will come against you. And today's study, we're going to see an excellent example of such a reality.https://get.theapp.co/yjjqTo donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org📍 424 E Central Blvd, Suite 247, Orlando, FL 32801📞 +1 (407) 602-1915📧 Email: [email protected] free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephonehttps://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/
