Emotional Revolt

2 Enemy Activity

The four groups had heard rumors: the Jews come back from Babylon and

were beginning construction on the walls of Jerusalem; the breaches in the 

wall were being filled in! What was their reaction to this? "Then they were

very worth." There are several words in the Hebrew language for "anger",

 but this is the strongest. Their anger was intense and continual.

The hostile reaction to the reconstruction of the defense system in 

Jerusalem in Nehemiah's day was due to a perpetual mental attitude

sin complex which included an emotional revolt in the soul of the enemy.

And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem,

and to hinder it (Neh.4:8).

"He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will 

not slumber."   Psalm 121:3

 

Heavenly Father, remind me that You are always ready to help us

 through life, no matter how difficult the task may seem.

In Christ name I pray
