April 25, 2025, Ezra 5:6-17 6  This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai the governor of the province Beyond the River and Shethar-bozenai and his associates, the governors who were in the province Beyond the River, sent to Darius the king.  7  They sent him a report, in which was written as follows: “To Darius the king, all peace.  8  Be it known to the king that we went to the province of Judah, to the house of the great God. It is being built with huge stones, and timber is laid in the walls. This work goes on diligently and prospers in their hands.  9  Then we asked those elders and spoke to them thus: ‘Who gave you a decree to build this house and to finish this structure?’  10  We also asked them their names, for your information, that we might write down the names of their leaders.  11  And this was their reply to us: ‘We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the house that...

April 24, 2025, Ezra 5:1-5 5  Now the prophets, Haggai and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel who was over them.  2  Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak arose and began to rebuild the house of God that is in Jerusalem, and the prophets of God were with them, supporting them. 3  At the same time Tattenai the governor of the province Beyond the River and Shethar-bozenai and their associates came to them and spoke to them thus: “Who gave you a decree to build this house and to finish this structure?”  4  They also asked them this: “What are the names of the men who are building this building?”  5  But the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, and they did not stop them until the report should reach Darius and then an answer be returned by letter concerning it. In every generation, Go...

April 23, 2025, Ezra 4:17-24 17  The king sent an answer: “To Rehum the commander and Shimshai the scribe and the rest of their associates who live in Samaria and in the rest of the province Beyond the River, greeting. And now  18  the letter that you sent to us has been plainly read before me.  19  And I made a decree, and search has been made, and it has been found that this city from of old has risen against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made in it.  20  And mighty kings have been over Jerusalem, who ruled over the whole province Beyond the River, to whom tribute, custom, and toll were paid.  21  Therefore make a decree that these men be made to cease, and that this city be not rebuilt, until a decree is made by me.  22  And take care not to be slack in this matter. Why should damage grow to the hurt of the king?” 23  Then, when the copy of King Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum...

April 21, 2025, Ezra 4:1-6 4  Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the returned exiles were building a temple to the  Lord , the God of Israel,  2  they approached Zerubbabel and the heads of fathers' houses and said to them, “Let us build with you, for we worship your God as you do, and we have been sacrificing to him ever since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria who brought us here.”  3  But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers' houses in Israel said to them, “You have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God; but we alone will build to the  Lord , the God of Israel, as King Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.” 4  Then the people of the land discouraged the people of Judah and made them afraid to build  5  and bribed counselors against them to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Dar...
