160 | Temple reconstruction and opposition (Ezra 3-4)
from Holy Lit: The Bible · host Allen
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. The temple that was the center of Jewish life? Gone. Nebuchadnezzar's army destroyed it in 586 BCE. For most of these people, this isn't a homecoming. 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
