Nehemiah takes the census of the returning exiles

The opposition against Nehemiah and the rest of God's people intensify. It seems that it is not just the leaders of the nations around Israel that are plotting but even important leaders in Israel are against Nehemiah

The poorest among the people cry out to Nehemiah about injustice and opression

Opposition arises, and Nehemiah brings the situation in prayer to God. The work continues with the builders carrying swords in order to defend themselves

The rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem starts. Everybody gets involved. Each family work in their own neighbourhood

Nehemiah arrives at Jerusalem and after inspecting the walls of the city he gathers all the leaders and reveals to them his intentions

Nehemiah hears the report about the state of Jerusalem and of the Israelites living there. He is moved to mourning, to prayer and remind to God of His promises

Paul Elms takes us through the story of the Bible from Genesis to the times of Nehemiah
