THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS
Part 82: The Man of God |
|
|
Ezra’s parents must have been godly people because
their son loved the Lord. He was raised in captivity and wanted to
become a priest so he could travel to Jerusalem to re-establish the
rabbinical system and restore the Torah teaching to the people. King
Artaxerxes I commissioned Ezra to aid in the rebuilding of the
temple and set up the justice system in Judea. To that end, the king
sent a dispatch with him that served as a letter of authority and a
letter of credit. This took place before Artaxerxes issued a
moratorium on rebuilding the temple. Ezra stopped the small caravan
to fast and ask God for protection because their group carried a lot
of gold and silver for the temple. They didn’t take any of the
king’s soldiers for protection, trusting that God would see them
through unmolested and that is exactly what happened. Ezra was a
godly man and the remnant that returned was blessed to have him as
their leader. |
