The Enemy Within - Nehemiah, Lesson VI

When the enemy failed to stop Israel from completing the wall, the enemy infiltrated their camp as Tobiah, a staunch enemy, married a Jewish woman from Judah (ch. 6:17-18) and befriended the priest, Eliashib, while Nehemiah was away in Babylon. Through this clever and deceptive 'friendship', Tobiah was offered a room in the temple to live in. The enemy had infiltrated the camp of the people of God. This should be a lesson for the church as the enemy has infiltrated our institutions with secularism, Marxism, and Woke ideologies from our local churches, certain denominations, and institutions of higher learning. Fortunately for Israel, Nehemiah returned and threw their enemy out of the temple.
