NEHEMIAH 13
THE WORK OF NEHEMIAH UNRAVELED
After the wall dedication, Nehemiah returns to Babylon, where he works for the Persian king. Later on, Nehemiah receives an unfortunate update on the state of Jerusalem.
Despite Nehemiah's diligent work and reform in Jerusalem, the Israelites returned to their old rebellious ways. Around the city, the work of Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah is being unraveled by the Israelites. The temple is neglected, and offerings are not being collected. The Sabbath day is being ignored, and the Israelites are working during the day set apart for rest. And worst of all, the areas around the newly rebuilt wall of Jerusalem are being used for trade on the Sabbath day.
Frustrated and concerned, Nehemiah cries out to God, begging Him to remember his work and not undo the good that he had done.
