EZRA RESTORATION

NEHEMIAH RECONSTRUCTION

ESTHER PRESERVATION

J Sidlow Baxter - Nehemiah is a gem of a book in the spiritual lessons which it teaches
us. It tells how, under the new leadership of Nehemiah, the walls of Jerusalem were
rebuilt by the returned Remnant, and how the people themselves were reinstructed in the
Law which God had given to their nation, long before, through Moses. This rebuilding of
the city wall is like a graphic object-lesson illustrating those truths which lie at the heart
of all true service for God; and he who will give heed to the lessons here vividly pictured
will be a wise and successful builder in spiritual things… The Babylonian Exile sounded
the death-knell of the Hebrew language. The educated classes were deported to Babylon
or fled to Egypt, and those who remained were not slow to adopt the language used by
their conquerors. The old Hebrew became a literary and sacred tongue, the language of
everyday life being probably Aramaic. Whatever may be the exact meaning of Neh 8:8, it
proves that the people of that time had extreme difficulty in understanding classical
Hebrew when it was read to them. Yet for the purpose of religion, the old language
continued to be employed for several centuries. - T.H. Weir, in "International Standard
Bible Encyclopedia."… Spiritual Message - As we watch this strong, earnest, godly
hero, Nehemiah, resolutely leading the rebuilding in the first part of the book, then
resolutely resisting compromise and laxity and intrigue in the second part of the book, we
find the spiritual message of it all coming home to us with great force. Let us heed its
voice to us. There is no winning without working and warring. There is no opportunity
without opposition. There is no "open door" set before us without there being many
"adversaries" to obstruct our entering it (1 Cor 16:9). Whenever the saints say, "Let us
arise and build," the enemy says, "Let us arise and oppose." There is no triumph without
trouble. There is no victory without vigilance. There is a cross in the way to every crown
that is worth wearing. Lessons and analogies are everywhere in this book. There are the
walls of a city of God to be built in every individual human heart. There are the walls of a
city of God to be built among the nations of the earth. Nehemiah exemplifies the vital
principles which are involved in all such building, if it is to be successful building in the
true sense. And we must add that Nehemiah himself is a really first-rank character-study.
He stands out conspicuously as a man of prayer, a man of faith, a man of courage, a man
of action. Look up the verses and incidents which indicate these qualities. They are an
inspiration to read and reflect on. The late Rev. Samuel Chadwick, beloved by all sound
Methodists, once used the following words, or words very like them, in a prayer at a
service which he was conducting in Manchester: "O Lord, make us intensely spiritual, but
keep us perfectly natural and thoroughly practical." As we recall that prayer we cannot
but think how Nehemiah illustrates those three expressions intensely spiritual, perfectly
natural, thoroughly practical. Both Nehemiah and Samuel Chadwick eminently fulfilled
the terms of that prayer, and both were singularly owned of God as spiritual builders and
soldiers. May God raise up a numerous succession to them among the needy churches of
our day! (Explore the Book- J. Sidlow Baxter - recommended)

Irving Jensen - Revival (Nehemiah 7:73b–10:39) A major turn is made in the book of
Nehemiah at 7:73b. The shift is from the physical and material rebuilding to building for
spiritual security. The reading of God’s Word is given no higher honor than in chapter 8;
thanksgiving and penitence are blended together in sublime and startling proportions in
the prayer of chapter 9; and the people’s determination to prove the sincerity of that
prayer by action is wonderfully exemplified in chapter 10. The people solemnly
covenanted “to walk in God’s law,” which they were proud to claim as having come to
them through “Moses, God’s servant” (10:29). Among other things, they said, “We will not
neglect the house of our God” (10:39). The passing of time would tell how faithfully they
and their children would keep this covenant… The subject of revival is often discussed by
Christians, but less often experienced. Revival is the renewal of the believer’s intimate
relationship with God. The price of revival is high, but the way is simple. These three
chapters present that way, in the correct order: Chapter 8: the work of God’s Word
(exposure to, and understanding of the Word) Chapter 9: the experience of genuine
prayer (confession of sin, and worship of God) Chapter 10: decision and action (in the
spirit of sacrifice) Reflect on these truths, especially as they apply to Christian living.

Here are introductory comments from Dr Apple's well done commentary to give
you a taste…

Redpath: Victorious Christian Service There is no type of service any of us can

undertake which is beset with so much potential as is the service of the Master. On the one
hand, there is so much that is rewarding, and on the other hand, so much that is
disappointing. Many are the obstacles to be overcome and many the pitfalls to be avoided.
On how many occasions we have taken up a task in the name of the Lord only to withdraw,
beaten, discouraged, and baffled, and yet, somehow, baffled to fight better. For every
discouragement has been allowed to come to us in order that through it we may be cast in
utter helplessness at the Saviour’s feet. Then we return to the battle again, no longer
trusting in the false and insufficient human resources which so foolishly we had taken into
the battle, but now trusting in the limitless resources of our risen Lord. (Conformed to the
Image of Christ by Alan Redpath) (Victorious Christian Living - Alan Redpath - actually a
commentary on Joshua)

the returned Remnant, and how the people themselves were reinstructed in the Law which

Malick: Background for Ezra and Nehemiah: The re-establishment of the exiles as God’s
people in Jerusalem and Judea gradually developed as they returned in waves under the
leadership of Sheshbazzar, Zerubbabel, Ezra and Nehemiah, as God providentially made
provision for them through the Persian rulers, as the Lord enabled them to rebuild
Jerusalem, and as the people continually repented of their evil in order to follow God’s law
(An Argument of the Books of Ezra-Nehemiah )

Outline of Nehemiah:

I. (Nehemiah 1:1–7:4) THIRD RETURN UNDER NEHEMIAH AND REBUILDING THE

WALL: The Nation is Physically Separated from the Gentiles: When Nehemiah learned
about the distress of the Jews in Jerusalem he prayed to the Lord, sought permission from
King Artaxerxes to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and managed to spur on the people in
Jerusalem to accomplish the task in spite of opposition from the people surrounding the
city and the problems within the city because he was a man who trusted God and was wise
in leadership

II. (Nehemiah 7:5–13:31) THE RELIGIOUS REFORMS OF EZRA AND NEHEMIAH:

The Nation is Spiritually Separated from the Gentiles: After the people became identified
as a new society under the Law of God with the walls of their capital city established,
Nehemiah restored them from their falls back into disobedience so that they might obey
God’s Law

Mervin Breneman: One of the chief objectives of Ezra-Nehemiah was to show the Jews
that they constituted the continuation of the pre-exilic Jewish community, the Israelite
community that God had chosen. Thus, in this community they were to see a continuation
of God’s redemptive activity. This community is emphasized by allusions to the exodus in
recounting postexilic parallels. The returnees experienced a new exodus. As soon as the
new temple, which took the place of the preexilic temple, was completed, they celebrated
the Passover (Ezra 6:19-22). Later, after reading the Law, they celebrated the Feast of
Tabernacles (Nehemiah 8). These feasts celebrate God’s great saving acts in the exodus…
The emphasis on continuity with the covenant people of God led to a strong emphasis on
separation from any form of defilement or syncretism with the surrounding people. The
postexilic community was a tiny island in a great sea of peoples and religious traditions. It
was important that the covenant community remain pure in doctrine, customs, and ethical
norms… (Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther- An Exegetical and Theological Exposition)

Derek Kidner: What we see in Ezra-Nehemiah is an Israel cut down almost to the roots,
but drawing new vitality from its neglected source of nourishment in the Mosaic law and
already showing signs, by its new concern for purity, of growing into the Judaism which we
meet, both for better and for worse, in the New Testament. (The Lion Handbook to the
Bible quoting from Ezra and Nehemiah - Derek Kidner)

V. CLEANSING – (Nehemiah 13:1-31)

Ray Stedman: The book of Nehemiah falls into two divisions. Re-Construction and Re-
Instruction … The theme of this book is that God fulfills our need for security, protection,
and strength… A wall is a very symbolic structure. It is more than just a barrier of stone
and mortar. A wall is a statement. The walls of the city of Jericho symbolized the pride
and arrogance of that godless city, and that is one reason why God chose to pull them
down with nothing but Israel’s faith, His own invisible power, and the people’s deafening
shout. He wanted to show that the arrogance of Jericho was no match for the humility of
God’s people when it was aligned with the limitless power of God Himself… The
rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem symbolizes an act all believers should undertake.
God calls each of us to rebuild the walls of our lives. What does that mean? Jerusalem is
a symbol of the City of God: God’s dwelling place and the center of life for the world. In
the New Testament, we see that God’s ultimate dwelling place is in us, His people. When
we rebuild the walls of our individual lives, we reestablish the protection and strength of
God in our lives. We all have met people whose defenses have crumbled away. They
have become human derelicts, drifting along the streets of our cities, hopeless and
helpless, in many cases captive to alcohol, drugs, or a sexual addiction. But God in His
grace will often reach down and take hold of such a person. He will bring that person out
of captivity and He will work with that person to rebuild the defenses and strength
needed to resist temptation and escape from bondage. The rebuilding of the walls of
Jerusalem, the City of God, is a symbolic representation of the way in which the walls of
any life, of any local church, of any community, or of any nation, can be rebuilt. It is a
picture of the strength, power, and purpose that God wants to rebuild in us as a barrier
to sin, discouragement, failure, and destruction. The text shows us a five-step
process that drives Nehemiah’s action – a process that is relevant to any life:
(1) concern, (2) confession, (3) commitment, (4) courage, and (5) caution. (Overview of
Nehemiah- Rebuilding the Walls)

Charles R Swindoll: (Ed comment - Swindoll applies Nehemiah's rebuilding of the city
walls to the us rebuilding the "walls of our lives.") Quite frankly, I think the walls of our
lives often lie in ruins through neglect. The leader who brings us to rebuild the walls is
the Holy Spirit. And it is He who continues the work of reconstruction inside us. He tries
His best to bring to our attention the condition of our walls, but sometimes we don’t hear
what He is saying. We are not hard of hearing; we simply don’t listen.

Some of you are living within the walls of your life surrounded by ruin, and it all began
very slowly. First there was a loose piece of stone or mortar. Then there was a crack that
appeared in the wall. And then it broke into pieces, and there was a hole. Because of
further neglect, the weeds of carnality began to grow through the wall. By and by, the
enemy gained free access to your life.

You may be known as a solid Christian man or woman. But you know in your heart that
although you are a Christian in the same sense that Jerusalem belonged to the Jews, the
wall around your spiritual life that protects and defends you is in shambles. Such things
as selfishness, lack of discipline, procrastination, immorality, not making time for God,
compromise, and rebellion have come and sowed their ugly seeds. And they have begun
to bear poisonous fruit. (Hand Me Another Brick - Charles R. Swindoll)

RALPH DAVIS
Commentary on the
Book of Nehemiah

Rosscup has these comments on Davis' exposition of the Book of Joshua: Former
Professor of Old Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary. Davis furnishes evangelical
material to help preachers blend sound exegesis, theological substance, interesting
exposition and practical application… The studies are not on every verse but key portions
out of each chapter, done in a very readable style… (that) preachers or lay people can
enjoy… (with) many ideas to provoke sermons and point to application. (Commentaries for
Biblical Expositors: An annotated bibliography of selected works)

Keith Mathison in his review of best commentaries on Judges makes general comments
that would apply to his short commentary on Nehemiah - “If you can only have one
commentary on the historical books, get the commentaries by Davis. There are other
commentaries that go into more detail on technical issues (see below), but Davis provides
what most Christian readers of these books need — a concise and readable explanation of
the text that sets each book within the larger context of biblical redemptive history all
without ever becoming boring or trite. This commentary (referring to Davis' commentary
on Judges), like the others, is also very practical, but it avoids the kind of moralizing
exposition that rips passages out of context in order to make some vague inspirational
point.” (Keith Mathison - Ligonier Ministries Blog)

Richard Pratt - “There is no more gifted expositor of the Old Testament in our day than
Ralph Davis.”

Derek Thomas - “Dale Ralph Davis is among the finest expositors of the Old Testament
alive today. His style is unique and his content infectious. A pastor at heart, his insights are
always governed by an absolute loyalty to the text, a belief that the Bible was written for
today as much as yesterday, and a desire to encourage his readers to fall in love with
Scripture and to trust it.”

Here is a sample excerpt from Davis' comments on Ezra 7:10 - Design (Ezra 7:10)
Note the initial ki (for, because) in the Hebrew text. It explains why the good hand of his
God was upon him (Ezra 7:9). God prospered the venture because of Ezra’s purpose. This
then is a warning against sloth and carelessness, and a sloppy view of grace. The subject
comes before the verb in the Hebrew text, so there is some stress on “Ezra.” On “setting
the heart,” the Hiphil of kun plus leb, see Psalm 78:8; 2Chr 12:14; 20:33 (all negative); and
1Sa 7:3; 2Chr 19:3; 30:19. The language of Ezra 7:10 speaks of a ministry that is focused
in its objective (set his heart) and intense in its labor (to seek). It is both anchored and
vigorous, not content with a little ministerial piddling. Note that Ezra purposes a total
ministry: seek, do, teach; the cognitive, the experiential, and the didactic. Note that there
are both academic and existential qualifications before

teaching. The process, ever repeated, is: concentration (seek), consistency (do),
communication (teach).

KEIL & DELITZSCH

Commentary on Nehemiah

Spurgeon on K & D on Ezra/Nehemiah/Esther- Just the kind of book in which Keil’s

method of commenting appears to the best advantage. He gives much needful
information, and thus supplements more didactic works. We cannot read Keil with
pleasure, for we want spiritual meat, but yet it is most desirable for us to know what the
text really means.

An Old Testament Pattern for Expository Preaching - From the Intro: Ezra provides
an unusually clear and inspiring pattern of expository preaching in his ministry to the
people of Judah at the outset of the postexilic period. He models an expositor's
commitment "studying, practicing godliness, and teaching" which leads him to
perform an expositor's task reading distinctly and explaining the Scriptures. In so
doing, he challenges expositors of all generations to handle accurately the Word of
truth. (See related article by Richard Mayhue - Rediscovering Expository Preaching)

Book of Nehemiah Overview - Insight for Living Ministries

Why is Nehemiah so important? Nehemiah was a layman, not a priest like Ezra nor a
prophet like Malachi. He served the Persian king in a secular position before leading a
group of Jews to Jerusalem in order to rebuild the city walls. “Nehemiah’s expertise in the
king’s court equipped him adequately for the political and physical reconstruction
necessary for the remnant to survive."1 Under Nehemiah’s leadership, the Jews withstood
opposition and came together to accomplish their goal. Nehemiah led by example, giving
up a respected position in a palace for hard labor in a politically insignificant district. He
partnered with Ezra, who also appears in this book, to solidify the political and spiritual
foundations of the people. Nehemiah’s humility before God (see his moving intercessory
prayers in chapters 1 and 9) provided an example for the people. He did not claim glory for
himself but always gave God the credit for his successes.

What's the big idea? - Nehemiah recorded the reconstruction of the wall of Jerusalem,
Judah’s capital city. Together, he and Ezra, who led the spiritual revival of the people,
directed the political and religious restoration of the Jews in their homeland after the
Babylonian captivity. Nehemiah’s life provides a fine study on leadership. He overcame
opposition from outsiders as well as internal turmoil. He exercised his administrative skills
in his strategy to use half the people for building while the other half kept watch for the
Samaritans who, under Sanballat, threatened attack (Nehemiah 4–7). As governor,
Nehemiah negotiated peace among the Jews who were unhappy with Persian taxes. He
exhibited a steadfast determination to complete his goals. Accomplishing those goals
resulted in a people encouraged, renewed, and excited about their future.

How do I apply this? The book of Nehemiah shows us the kind of significant impact one
individual can have on a nation. Nehemiah served in secular offices, using his position to
bring back to the Jews order, stability, and proper focus on God. God uses all manner of
people in all manner of places doing all manner of work. Do you feel you must be “in
ministry” in order to serve God? Be encouraged; He is not limited by your vocation. In fact,
God has placed you where you are for a purpose. Have this attitude about your work:
“Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks
through Him to God the Father” (Colossians 3:17).

Nehemiah and Satanic Diversion

PAUL VAN GORDER

OT Reflections of Christ - Nehemiah Here are excerpts…

TYPICAL TEACHING OF THE GATES--

Chapter 3 of Nehemiah contains the record of the rebuilding of the gates in the wall
around Jerusalem. How wonderfully these gates portray the work of Christ for and in the
believer! Ten gates were restored in all, and we will consider the meaning of each.

The Sheep Gate (Neh 3:1).

This was the gate of sacrifice, which is always the starting point in the life of the believer.
The apostle Paul said, ''For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, that
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures… '' (1Cor 15:3). Revelation 5 depicts a
graphic scene in heaven, when four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fall down
before the Lamb. They sing ''a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the scroll, and to
open its seals; for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every
kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation'' (Rev 5:9). God's great work for time and
eternity centers in the sacrifice of His Son, the Lamb of God, at Calvary.

The Fish Gate (Nehemiah 3:3).

Having received salvation through the sacrifice of Christ, we are to become fishers of men
(Matthew 4:19).

The Old Gate (Nehemiah 3:6).

Every believer is to stay with the old paths, affirming and practicing the ''faith which was
once delivered unto the saints'' (Jude 1:3).

The Valley Gate (Nehemiah 3:13).

Humility is to be a trait of every follower of Christ. ''Let this mind be in you, which was also
in Christ Jesus… '' (Php 2:5-8).

The Dung Gate (Nehemiah 3:14).

This was the place where refuse was cast out of the city. Every Christian needs a ''garbage
dump.'' The apostle Paul had one, for he wrote these words to the Philippians: ''Yea
doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ
Jesus, my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but
refuse, that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness,
which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is
of God by faith'' (Php 3:8,9).

The Fountain Gate (Nehemiah 3:15).

This gate speaks of the overflowing life, the ''rivers of living water'' made possible by the
Holy Spirit (John 7:38).

The Water Gate (Nehemiah 3:26).

Interestingly, this gate did not need repair. Water is a type of the Word of God. His Word
never needs repair, for it is pure, refreshing, enduring. ''Christ also loved the church, and
gave Himself for it, that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the
word'' (Eph 5:25,26).

The Horse Gate (Nehemiah 3:28).

The horse in Scripture often speaks of war. Christians are in a continual warfare. God has
provided sufficient equipment-- the panoply of power, the full armor described in
Ephesians 6:10-18.

The East Gate (Nehemiah 3:29).

This was the gate through which the shekinah glory [had departed from] Israel (Ezekiel
10). When that transcendant glory returns, it will also be from the east. ''And, behold, the
glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east; and His voice was like a noise of
many waters, and the earth shined with His glory'' (Eze 43:2). The east gate therefore
speaks of the return of our Lord to this earth. When He comes again, His feet will stand
upon the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4).

The Hammiphkad Gate (Nehemiah 3:31).

The Hebrew word signifies [a meeting place of] judgment. How suggestive this is of the
judgments that await this earth and all who live upon it! The nations of the world will be
summoned to judgment in the valley of Megiddo.

ENEMIES OF THE WORK-- Such a magnificent work for God, as Nehemiah and his co-
laborers were engaged in, is never finished without interference form the enemy. Three
conspirators opposed Nehemiah, and they are representative of the present-day enemies
of the gospel.

Sanballat This man's name means ''hate in disguise.'' He represents the wisdom of this
world and its opposition to Christ and His gospel. Most organized religion hates Jesus
Christ. Paul spoke of it as being a form of deception when he said, ''And no marvel; for
Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his
ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be
according to their works'' (2Cor 11:14,15).

Tobiah His name means ''the servant,'' or possibly, ''the Lord is good.'' He is a
representative of those who make a formal profession of faith. They have a good name but
a bad heart. This man Tobiah was a sort of puppet for his master Sanballat.

Geshem This man's name means ''a violent shower.'' In the case of Nehemiah and his
workers, he brought a shower of ridicule and criticism. Geshem was an Arabian, a
descendant of Ishmael.

PRACTICAL TRUTHS-- God blessed the labors of Nehemiah and the Israelites for a
number of reasons.

The people ''had a mind to work'' (Nehemiah 4:6).

Nehemiah and his men watched and prayed. ''We made our prayer… and set a watch''
(Nehemiah 4:9).

Each man knew his work and stayed with it. How vital for Christians to recognize their gifts
and to exercise them.

Not only did they work with their hands in rebuilding the wall, but they also had on their
armor, the weapons of warfare. ''Everyone with one of his hands wrought in the work, and
with the other hand held a weapon'' (Nehemiah 4:17).

This was the exercise of faith, for ''without faith it is impossible to please Him'' (Heb 11:6).

G. Campbell Morgan suggests that ''The life of faith is sure of God; acts with Him and for
Him; declines all compromise and trusts God.''
