Today's reading Ezra 4-7
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links: Ezra 4; Ezra 5; Ezra 6; ; Ezra 7

Ezra 4
The enemies of Judah and Benjamin offered to help build the Temple to the Lord. Zerubbabel, Jeshua and the rest of the leaders refused to have them help to build the temple. There was opposition later by the enemies of Judah and Benjamin when they lodged an accusation to Xerxes and Artaxerxes. Artaxerxes wrote back and told the people to stop building the temple.

Ezra 5
Haggai and Zechariah the prophets were encouraging them to build the temple. The Lord was watching to them while they build the temple until a report came to King Darius.

Ezra 6
Darius sent a decree telling to Jews to continue building the temple. In addition any expense use for building the temple would be paid by royal courts. The temple was completed and dedicated (v. 13-18). The Passover was celebrated for the first time since the restoration (v. 19-22).

Ezra 7
Ezra cam from Babylon to Jerusalem. We should learn from Ezra's life and example:

Verse 10 For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the LORD, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.

Artaxerxes's letter to Ezra stated that any Jews in his kingdom may go to Jerusalem to build the temple and to provide funds from the royal treasuries (v.21) appoint judges and magistrates and judges to administer justice to all the peoples of the Trans-Euphrates area.

Today's reading Ezra 1-3
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links: Ezra 1; Ezra 2; Ezra 3

Ezra 1
Ezra 1-4 deals with the proclamation (v. 1-4) and gifts provided (5-11) Ezra 1.1-3; 2Chronicles 36.22-23
The Lord moved the heart of Cyrus to make a proclamation throughout his empire for any Jew to return to Jerusalem to build the Temple of the Lord. This was a proclamation of Jeremiah's prophecy (Isaiah 44.28-45.3). In addition he returned the articles belongng to the Temple to take back to Jerusalem.



Ezra 2 is the list of the exiles who returned to Jerusalem (Ezra 2.1-70; Nehemiah 7.6-73) It should be noted that only 50,000 returned. Where were the rest of the Jewish people in Babylon? They were very comfortable, thank you, and did not want to return to Israel.

Application: Are you comfortable where you are at? Are you willing to leave your conmfort zone and risk everything for the Lord?

Verses to meditate on:
Ezra 1.2 "This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:
" 'The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. 3 Anyone of his people among you—may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the LORD, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem. 4 And the people of any place where survivors may now be living are to provide him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with freewill offerings for the temple of God in Jerusalem.' "


Ezra 3 is the rebuilding of the altar (Ezra 3.1-6) and rebuilding of the temple (Ezra 3.7-13).
