Nehemiah

with Michael Easley
Michael continues our series The Big Book: Cover to Cover with an overview of Nehemiah, a continuation of our last episode on Ezra.
Nehemiah was a contemporary of Ezra’s. Where Ezra is moving the exiles back to Jerusalem, most of Nehemiah’s account is in Jerusalem as he attempts to repair the wall around the city to prevent enemies from entering who would physically and spiritually destroy Israel’s newly reestablished temple complex.
Nehemiah’s task is a restoration project not unlike Ezra’s attempts to reform the Jews who had fallen away from YHWH.

Scripture referenced:

Nehemiah 1:3-7
Nehemiah 1:8-11
Nehemiah 2:8
Nehemiah 2:10
Nehemiah 2:19
Nehemiah 2:11-16
Luke 14:28
Nehemiah 2:17

Revelation

It’s remarkable to step back on this Big Book and see that it begins and ends with connections that are impossible to ignore. In this episode, Michael teaches an overview of the book of Revelation.
