- The old city walls of Jerusalem were destroyed, along with the temple, by King Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians in 600 BC, and the city was reduced to rubble. God’s people were marched out of the city and taken to Babylon. A few decades later, Nehemiah was used by God to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the walls. Nehemiah, alongside the prophet Ezra, restored the physical city of Jerusalem and the spiritual condition of Israel as the people returned from Babylon to inhabit their city again.

Jerusalem’s ancient walls are a tangible reminder of the holy city’s eventful history. Middle Eastern superpowers kept trying to get their hands on it. The Assyrians made a failed attempt around 700 BC, but in 586 BC, the Babylonians succeeded.
Those living in Jerusalem who escaped with their lives were deported to Babylon. Some 70 years later, their descendants were allowed to return as Persia defeated Babylon and took control of the region. Back in their homeland, people found Jerusalem still in ruins. Nehemiah, the Jewish cupbearer to the Persian King Artaxerxes I, wept for the city, prayed that God would move the king to let him go to rebuild it, and had his wish granted.
Despite opposition from Gentile local officials, the project succeeded. Nehemiah followed God’s call to rebuild Jerusalem; it was left to a man named Ezra to rebuild the spiritual foundations of Judaism.

When was the last time you were moved deeply by the condition of others? Our world of 24-hour news and social media feeds can lead to compassion fatigue. Regular virtual exposure to suffering can cause our hearts to harden and our compassion to wane.
Living a rather cushy life in a well-paid job, Nehemiah, a Jew in exile, heard news of the state of Jerusalem’s walls. Nehemiah didn’t have to get involved in the troubles of his homeland, but his heart was so attuned to the promises of God that he could not but weep when he heard of Jerusalem being in ruins. Do we weep for our city? Our world? Ruin and rubble are all around, but are we too comfortable to do something about it?
That’s the thing with compassion: it leads you to do something! Risking everything for a ruin, Nehemiah saw not just the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls but also its spiritual renewal. May God cause us to weep, so that we may take risks for the ruins that need rebuilding around us.

Glory be to God for allowing Nehemiah for the courage to embrace his faith to rebuild the Temple and bring all of God's children whom were taken and displaced for believing and worshipping our Heavenly Father God from exile. Even the wall was resurrected even stronger and praises to Godly men such as Nehemiah, Yahway and all the other apostles under God's hand and Love. Thank you brother in Christ Eddie.
Last night I’m prayer, the book of Nehemiah came up so I began reading it. Thank you for this context!
Our Father God knew to use Nehemiah to build the temple to perfection as he was a faithful leader of our God! All praises to our Father God for his glory! Amen.

I Was Reading Nehemiah 1-4 Today And Wanted To See If Some Of It Still Exists.
Yes, some of it still exist I saw it. but it was only small part of the wall.
.So many inaccuracies int his video such a shame. has potential but so many facts wrong. be careful not to use this as fact.
Correct us, please
Thank you
what about this video was inaccurate?
Its Yahawah Or Yahowah Because Yahweh Is A Mispronounced Sound.
the "Old City walls" were built around the 1500's and had nothing to do with Nehemiah.....how can you be so wrong...??? Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of the CITY OF DAVID, not "old Jerusalem" which never existed until the 1500's.
What your saying isn't exactly right, the city of david itself was on Mount zion there were walls that extended past this
@@AJK17.5 please define "Mt Zion"
@@toddkallenbach3904 the ancient hill on which the city of david was built on
@@AJK17.5 that's incorrect. There have been numerous "hills" called Zion....the current hill that is called Zion is the Western Hill.
@@toddkallenbach3904 the reason why there have beeb many hills called zion, is because zion is a holy name uses by Jews and Hebrews to refer to high places, the temple mount moriah for example is sometimes called zion same with jerusalem as a whole, when David conquered the original hill called zion he built his city on it, so the city of David built on hill is the original first zion, it was called zion before David even conquered it.
