Nehemiah was a Hebrew living in Persia who knew that the wall of his city, Jerusalem, was broken down and would need to rebuilt to keep the returning Jews safe in the city. As he prayed, the Persian king Artaxerxes gave him permission to return and even provided supplies for the rebuilding. Inspired by Nehemiah s leadership, the Jews overcame danger and threats to rebuild the wall in a amazing 52 days. On a subsequent return to the city, Nehemiah found many of the Jews in apostasy, but he forcefully calls them back to obedience to God. Show Less
