Nehemiah 2:16
8/20/2025
The officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing, because as yet I had said nothing to the Jews of priests or nobles or officials or any others who would be doing the work.
Nehemiah had arrived in Jerusalem with authorization from the king and with supplies to accomplish great things for the furthering of the work of building the Temple. Everyone knew that he had come from the King and that he was very important, but Nehemiah did not let them know the details until he had personally ascertained the state of things in Jerusalem. He made a clandestine inspection of the situation. Faithfulness and honesty does not always require complete openness. Wisdom, judgment and propriety must be taken into account. Nehemiah was used to purify the people and focus their worship. Only then could the Temple picture the coming of Jesus.
