We read of the restoration of temple worship in such books as Esther, Ezra, Nehemiah. Looking at the difficulties that surrounded these Old Testament saints as they attempted to restore their city and temple, we can learn much and gain encouragement. This land of promise had great potential, yet it required much work and also had much resistance from the neighboring people.
Could they have been discouraged through this rebuilding process? Did God send any miracles to encourage his people to do the right thing? No, but God sent them strong leaders to guide and encourage the people. How can we learn from the rebuilding of the temple and city of the Jewish people? Join Brother Glenn Goodwin in this timeless lesson of drawing closer to the Lord in a time of restoration.
