Ezra 5:;9
7/15/2026
We questioned the elders and asked them, "who authorized you to rebuild this temple and restore this structure?"
Ezra is being questioned concerning the royal authorization he has received for rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem. This text is a record of the Persian investigation of the matter, since some present government officials in Jerusalem have filed an objection. Ezra is very patient and straightforward in his answers and is fully cooperative with the investigation. It proves in many ways to be a harassment of those God has sent to accomplish His will among the returnees from Babylon. But the hand of God is in the opposition raised against His work. He increases the challenge and grants the grace that those who labor for Him need. We think ahead to One who will face opposition and resistance, but who will press on to accomplish God’s purpose. Thank You, Jesus.
