people in the Bible: Nehemiah

people in the Bible:  Nehemiah by ric Gustafson


Nehemiah was a descendant of the Jews carried off to Babylon in 587 BC. In 539 BC, Cyrus the Persian permitted exiles to return to Jerusalem. In 445 BC, Nehemiah was given permission to rebuild Jerusalem's walls. Three men constantly harassed Nehemiah as he tried to do what God wanted him to do. God watched over Nehemiah and the walls were completed in fifty two days.
We can face our opposition if we are determined and ask God to strengthen us. God will work with us and will always be with us. He promises us that.
Praise God.
