Following the burning of the city of Jerusalem, the capital of ancient Judah, there were seventy years of abandonment. During this time, the walls were breeched and the Temple was in rubble. When Ezra writes of the first return, the men came to the city and built the foundations of thealtar of God. This was the beginning of the rebuilding of the Temple. Then the Temple was built.
Following the first and second returns, Nehemiah would bring order into the city by rebuildingthe walls of Jerusalem. But the city really wasn’t functioning as a city yet. There were very fewpeople living there. You could understand their reasons. This was the foundation of a completecity destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar. The memory was fresh in their minds. But Nehemiah now
needed to make the city function again by assigning to it people and leaders to their rightfulpositions. Nehemiah 11 is where we discover how they did that.

Why?; Job 1-4
The question is why? Why would God allow or make someone suffer who has done nothing wrong? The book of Job is a wonderful study on how God’s will actually works, and on how we think. Often our personal pain drives our thoughts about God. When we feel good, God is good! When we suffer, we call in...
