Study with Pastor Kelvin
Read: EZRA chapter 5-6
Summary:
The prophets Haggai and Zechariah urge the Jews to complete the temple, whose foundation had been laid. Taking on the project is an act of faith, for at this time the struggling community was hardly able to survive. When they do begin, the governor of the Persian land across the river district writes to check on the Jews' authority to complete the temple, and for instructions from King Darius. The author quotes the request in the original Aramaic language and also quotes the king's reply. In it Darius confirms the original decree. He orders that all expenses of the temple project be paid from the royal treasury. The Jews' faith has been rewarded, and God has met every need. The temple is completed four years later. It is dedicated with great joy, and once again the Jews celebrate Passover before their own temple in their own land.
