NEHEMIAH 4

NEHEMIAH FACES OPPOSITION + PRAYS FOR PROTECTION

As the wall reconstruction begins, Nehemiah faces opposition from Israel’s enemies, specifically from Sanballat and Tobiah. Israel’s opposition is angered by Israel’s progress and plots to fight against Jerusalem.

Nehemiah and the Israelites pray, asking God for protection. Nehemiah is confident that God would allow them to finish the good work that was started, telling the Israelites to not be afraid and to remember God’s provision.
