Ezra 7 - 8
EzraSteve Gregg
In this segment, Steve Gregg provides a commentary on chapters 7-8 of the biblical book of Ezra. The passage covers Ezra's journey to Jerusalem with a group of exiles authorized by King Artaxerxes, who grants Ezra full authority to rearrange the spiritual and political structure of the region beyond the river. This journey is seen by Ezra as a fulfillment of the promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the book of Isaiah. Throughout the segment, Gregg provides historical context and insights into the text's deeper meanings.
