Ezra 4 - 6
EzraSteve Gregg
In this segment by Steve Gregg, the discussion centers around Ezra 4-6 and the challenges faced in rebuilding Jerusalem. Gregg highlights the fear many older men had of undoing the work done by Jews during the daytime and the challenges posed by opposition brought against Zerubbabel Jeshua's day. While some Jews discontinued building the temple to embellish their own new homes, others responded to the prophets of God and continued the restoration of the house of God in Jerusalem. Despite these challenges, the people hoped for something that would disprove or challenge the story of the Jews.
