EZRA THE BUILDER LEADER
AND REFORMER
EZRA 7: 5-18
FOR EZRA HAD PREPARED
HIS HEART TO SEEK THE LAW
OF THE LORD AND TO DO IT,
AND TO TEACH IN ISRAEL
STATUTES AND JUDGMENT
|
5)The son of Abishua, the
son of Phinehas, the son of
Eleazar, the son of Aaron the
chief priest;
6) This Ezra went up from
Babylon; and he was a ready
scribe in the law of Moses,
which the LORD GOD of
Israel had given; and the king
granted him all his request,
according to the hand of the
LORD GOD upon him
7)And there went up some
of the children of Israel, and
of the priests and Levites,
and the singer, and the
porters, and Nethnim unto
Jerusalem, in the seventh
year of Artaxerxes the King
8) And he came to Jerusalem
in the fifth month, which in
the seventh year of the King
9) For upon the first day of
the first month began he to
go up from Babylon, and on
the first day of the fifth
month came he to Jerusalem,
according to the good hand
of his GOD upon him
10) For Ezra had prepared his
heart to seek the law of the
LORD and to do it, and to
teach in Israel statutes and
Judgments
11) Now this is the copy of
the letter that the king
Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra
the priest, the scribe, even
ascribe of the words of the
commandments of the LORD,
and of his statutes to Israel
12) Artaxerxes, king of kings
unto Ezra the priest, a scribe
of the Law of GOD of Heaven,
perfect peace, and at at such
a time
13) I make a decree, that all
they of the people of Israel,
and of his priests and Levites,
in my realm, which are
minded of their own freewill
to go up to Jerusalem go with
thee
14) Forasmuch as thou art
sent of the king, and of his
seven counselors, to inquire
concerning Judah and
Jerusalem, according to the
Law of thy GOD which is in
thine hand
15) And to carry the silver
and Gold, which the king and
his counselor have freely
offered unto the GOD of
Israel, whose habitation is in
Jerusalem
16) And all the silver and
gold that thou canst find in
all the province of Babylon,
with the freewill offering of
the people, and of the
priests, offering willingly for
the house of their GOD which
is in Jerusalem
17) That thou mayest buy
speedily with this money
bullocks, rams, lambs, with
their meat offerings and their
drink offerings, and offer
them upon the altar of the
house of your GOD which is
in Jerusalem
18) And whatsoever shall
seem good to thee, and to
thy brethren, to do with the
rest of the silver and the
gold, that do after the will of
your GOD

EZRA 8:31-36
31) Then we departed from
the river of Ahava on the
twelfth day of the first
month, to go unto Jeruselam;
and the hand of our GOD
from the hand of the enemy,
and of such as lay in wait by
the way
32) And we came to
Jerysalem and abode there
three days
33) Now on the fouth day
was the silver and the gold
and the vessels weighed in
the house of our GOD by the
hand of Meremoth the son of
Uriah the priest; and with
him was Eleazar the son of
Phinehas, and with them was
Jozabad the son of Jeshua,
and Noadiah the son of
Binnm, Levites
34) By number and by
weight of every one; and all
the weight was written at
that time

GODLY LEADERSHIP TO
BUILD THE WALLS OF
JERUSALEM
NEHEMIAH 2:17-20
NEHEMIAH LEAD AND
ENCOURAGE THE PEOPLE TO
REBUILD THE WALLS
NEHEMIAH 6:15-16
SO THE WALL WAS FINISHED
IN THE TWENTY AND FIFTH
DAY OF THE MONTH ELUL
|
17) Then said I unto them,
ye see the distress that we
are in how Jerusalem lieth
waste, and the gates thereof
are burned with fire: come,
and let us build up the wall of
Jerusalem, that we be no
more a reproach
18) Then I told them of the
hand of my GOD which was
good upon me; as also the
King’s words that he had
spoken unto me and they
said, let us rise up and build,
so they strengthened their
hands for this good work
19) But when Sanballat the
Horonite, and tobiah the
servant, the Ammonite, and
Geshem the Arabian, heard
it, they laughed us to scorn,
and despised us, and said,
what is this thing that ye do?
Wii ye rebel against the king?
20) Then answered I them,
and, said unto then, the GOD
of heaven, he will prosper us:
therefore we his servants will
arise and build: but ye have
no portion, nor right, nor
memorial in Jerusalem
THE WALL IS FINISHED
NEHEMIAH 6 :15-16
15) So the wall was finished
in the twenty and fifth day of
the month Elul, in fifty and
two days
16) And it came to pass, that
when all our enemies heard
thereof, and all the heathen
that were about us saw these
things, they were much cast
down in their own eyes: for
they perceived that this work
was wrought of our GOD
|
THE STRATEGY ADOPTED BY
NEHEMIAH TO BUILD THE
WALL OF JERUSALEM
NEHEMIAH 4:13-18
ONE HAND FOR WAR AND
ONE HAND TO BUILD
13) Therefore set I in the
lower place behind the wall,
and on the higher places, I
even set the people after
their families with their
swords, their spears and their
bows
14) And I looked, and rose
up, and said unto the nobles,
and to the rulers, and to the
rest of the people, be not ye
afraid of them remember the
LORD, which is great and
terrible, and fight for your
brethren, your sons, and your
daughter, your wives, and
your house
15) And it came to pass,
when our enemies heard that
it was known unto us, and
GOD had brought their
counsel to nought that we
retuned all of us to the wall,
every one unto his work
16) And it came to pass from
that time forth, that the half
of my servants wrought in
the work and the other half
of them held both the spears,
the shields, and the bows,
and the habergeons; and the
rulers were behind all the
house of Judah
17)They which builder on
the wall, and they that bare
burden with those that
laded, every one with one of
his hands wrought in the
work, and with the other
hand held a weapon

1)It pleased Darius to set
over the kingdom a hundred

presidents; of whom Daniel
was first, that the princes
might give accounts unto to
them, and the king should

3) Then this Daniel was
preferred above the
presidents and princes,
because an excellent spirit
was in him; and the king
thought to set him over the
whole realm
