160 | Temple reconstruction and opposition (Ezra 3-4)

It's 538 BCE. After seventy years in Babylon, thousands of Jewish families have just finished an 800-mile journey back to Jerusalem. The city their grandparents left is now rubble.

It's showing up at a construction site where you have to rebuild everything from memory.Source:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dxc9WGkVTwg2pbQe0i7hLmm22Zkex5WJ/view
