people to return to jerusalem according to a special mandate issued by cyrus king of persia whose armies defeated the chaldeans and overthrew the babylonian empire the books of ezra and nehemiah tell lis of this return and the events that took place in the land after ward haggai and zechariah were prophets of god raised up to exhort and encourage this remnant as they proceeded to rebuild first the temple and later the ruined city of jerusalem there are many precious and important lessons in these post- captivity books for the people of god today who mourn the mani fold grievous errors that have brought many into captivity and who long to walk with god in separation from all that is false and unholy gathered back from their bond age among the gentiles a few in israel realized the blessedness of being in the place where jehovah had set his name there to worship and serve him as they found it written xeh s 14 and as they were guided by the prophetic ministry of haggai and zechariah it speaks loudly of the privileges of those who in this day of apostasy and of departure from god find their joy in the lord and endeavor to walk in obedience to his word verse by verse ezra 1 1 the lord stirred up the spirit of cyrus king of persia the time had come for the fulfill ment of the promise that after seventy years a way would be opened for the jews to return from their captivity so god moved the heart of the conqueror of babylon to look favorably upon his people and to open the way for them to go back to the land of judah verse 2 the lord god of heaven hath charged me to build him a house at jerusalem cyrus was conscious that he had a man date from jehovah to enable the jews to rebuild the temple which the chaldeans had laid in ruins verse 3 who is there among you of all his people let him go up to jerusalem there was no compulsion all who had a heart for god and who valued his word were free to go those who pre ferred to remain where they were would forfeit blessing however if they did not grasp the opportunity afforded- them to return to the where god had set his name verse 4 whosoever remaineth in any place let the men of his place help him gods time to favor the jews had come the persians were more lenient toward them than the chaldeans had been even if they did not go up to jerusalem themselves it was taken for granted they would want to help their brethren who did go and at cyruss command they were to be given every assistance possible ing them to take it up again as king darius had but recently given permission to do verse 4 is it time for you o ye to dwell in your cieled houses and this house lie waste no persian decree had hindered their providing warm and even expen sive houses for themselves but it was used really as an excuse for indifference to what should have had the first place in their thoughts the rebuilding of the temple of the lord verse 5 consider your ways the literal translation of the hebrew would be set your heart upon your ways it was a sum mons to selfjudgment for ones ways manifest the state of his mind god would have them recognize the selfishness and slothfulness that had made them overlook his para mount claims upon their energy and their time and ability verse 6 ye have sown much and bring in little weigh this verse carefully it gives the secret of much of the lack of blessing following our efforts to succeed as it did with judah so long ago no matter how strenuously one may labor god will not give success if he is dishonored verse 7 consider your ways a second time the call comes to consider their true condition before god it is not vain repetition but an emphatic summons to face things honestly and to get right with god verse s build the house and i will take pleasure in it when the an obedient people with i right condition of soul it is all- promises of divine assistance important that those who profess verse 14 the lord stirred up the spirit of zerubbabel and the spirit of all the people and they came and did work in the house of the lord aroused bv the stirring to value what is of god and who seek to appropriate the privileges he gives should ever recognize the principle of the divine priority over their hearts their lives and their exhortation of the prophet and j service thus his blessing will be comforted by the knowledge of the service thus hs blessng will be lords
