Looking for Ezra

[JLG]

Ezra 1:1

• We are told when!

• In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia!

• So right at the beginning of his reign!

• We are told why!

• To fulfill the word of Yah·weh!

• We are told about how Yah·weh did it!

• He stirred the spirit of Cyrus!

• We are told about what he did!

• He sent a proclamation throughout his kingdom!

 

[JLG]

Ezra 1:2

• It says that Yah·weh has appointed Cyrus to build a house for him at Jerusalem in Judah!

• The boss is Cyrus!

• And he is the one who has authorized the rebuilding of Jerusalem!

 

[JLG]

Ezra 1:3

• The Jews are invited to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the house of Yah·weh!

• Apparently it is not an obligation!

• Only those who are willing may go back!

 

[JLG]

Ezra 1:4

• So those who will go back to Jerusalem to rebuild it will get silver, gold, goods and livestock!

• It looks like when Israel left Egypt!

 

[JLG]

Ezra 1:5

• So the family heads of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and the levites go up to Jerusalem to rebuild the house of Yah·weh!

• Yah·weh stirs their spirits!

• We can imagine it’s a big business!

• Everything has to be done!

• There is nothing left!

 

[JLG]

Ezra 1:6

• Here is a copy of verse 4!

• It highlights the fact that the exiles didn’t come back empty-handed!

• Not to forget that they came back to a place completely abandoned!

 

[JLG]

Ezra 1:7

• Cyrus not only permitted the rebuilding of Jerusalem!

• He also gave back all the religious articles of the temple of Yah·weh stolen by Nebuchadnezzar!

• Thus he showed respect to Yah·weh!

 

[JLG]

Ezra 1:8

• Cyrus had them brought out by Mithredath the treasurer!

• And Mithredath counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah!

• Everything was made officially!

• It was well done so nothing would lack!

• It showed again high respect to Yah·weh!
