Place: Jerusalem Golden Text: 14 So the Jewish elders continued their work, and they were greatly encouraged by the preaching of the prophets Haggai and Zechariah son of Iddo. The Temple was finally finished, as had been commanded by the God of Israel and decreed by Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes, the kings of Persia (Ezra 6:14).  Outline I. The Temple Finished (Ezra 6:13-15) 13 Tattenai, governor of the province west of the Euphrates River, and Shethar-bozenai and their colleagues complied at once with the command of King Darius. 14 So the Jewish elders continued their work, and they were greatly encouraged by the preaching of the prophets Haggai and Zechariah son of Iddo. The Temple was finally finished, as had been commanded by the God of Israel and decreed by Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes, the kings of Persia.  15 The Temple was completed on March 12,[d] during the sixth year of King Darius’s reign. II. The Temple Dedicated (Ezra 6:16-18) 16 The Temple of God was then dedicated with great joy by the people of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the people who had returned from exile.  17 During the dedication ceremony for the Temple of God, 100 young bulls, 200 rams, and 400 male lambs were sacrificed. And 12 male goats were presented as a sin offering for the twelve tribes of Israel.  18 Then the priests and Levites were divided into their various divisions to serve at the Temple of God in Jerusalem, as prescribed in the Book of Moses. III. The Passover Observed (Ezra 6:19-22) 19 On April 21[e] the returned exiles celebrated Passover.  20 The priests and Levites had purified themselves and were ceremonially clean. So they slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the returned exiles, for their fellow priests, and for themselves.  21 The Passover meal was eaten by the people of Israel who had returned from exile and by the others in the land who had turned from their corrupt practices to worship the Lord, the God of Israel.  22 Then they celebrated the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days. There was great joy throughout the land because the Lord had caused the king of Assyria[f] to be favorable to them, so that he helped them to rebuild the Temple of God, the God of Israel.

Outline I. THE PSALMIST’S CONFESSION (Psalms 73:1-3) Truly God is good to Israel,  to those who are pure in heart. 2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped. 3 For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. II. THE PSALMIST’S CONFUSION (Psalms 73:12-13, 16) 12 Behold, these are the wicked; always at ease, they increase in riches. 13 All in vain have I kept my heart clean and washed my hands in innocence. 16 But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task, III. THE PORTION OF THE WICKED (Psalms 73:17-18) 17 until I went into the sanctuary of God: then I discerned their end. 18 Truly you set them in slippery places; you make them fall to ruin. IV. THE PSALMIST’S CONSOLATION (Psalms 73:21-26) 21 When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart, 22 I was brutish and ignorant;  I was like a beast toward you. 23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. 24 You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. 26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength[b] of my heart and my portion forever.
