In this Bible Story, God’s people are freed from the empire of Babylon and Persia to return home. The exiles journey back to the home of their forefathers. There they rebuilt the temple, and attempted to rebuild their broken hearts. This story is inspired by Ezra 1-6 & Haggai 1-2. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Ezra 3:7 from the King James Version.Episode 168: Cyrus King of Persia, had conquered all that was once Babylon. Because of this, he had learned from King Darius the stories of Daniel’s God and his heart grew toward the exiles from Judah. So, in fulfillment of God’s Word through Jeremiah, he issued a decree that the exiles could return to Judah if they would like. It took over two years to wipe the dust and rubble from the ruined city. However, while Zerubbabel, one of the exiles returning from Babylon, was rebuilding the temple, he sent away his fellow Israelites. Creating enemies instead of unity. All of this showed that it was not just the city that needed to be rebuilt, but the hearts of the people as well.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Lessons from the Month of Av: Faith and Love in Biblical History The fifth biblical month of Av carries much spiritual significance, offering timeless lessons for believers walking in covenant relationship with Yahweh. This sacred period reminds us of two pivotal moments that shaped Israel's destiny and continue to instruct us today. During Av, the twelve spies returned from the Promised Land with their report. While ten brought fear and doubt, only Joshua and Caleb demonstrated unwavering faith in Yahweh's promises. This teaches us to trust Elohim's word above circumstances, knowing that covenant faithfulness leads to divine blessing and fulfillment of His purposes. Most remarkably, both Holy Temples were destroyed on the ninth of Av, separated by centuries yet occurring on the identical date (586 BCE and 70 CE). The sages of Israel attributed the Second Temple's destruction to sinat chinam—baseless hatred among the people. Yeshua's greatest commandments ring with prophetic clarity: love Yahweh completely and love your neighbor as yourself. When believers embody this divine love daily, we become living temples, rebuilding what hatred destroyed. The month of Av calls us to examine our hearts, forsake division, and walk in the unity that honors our Mashiach.

Journey with us as we hear about the first two "waves" (groups of people) returning to Jerusalem. We'll also go on a quick scavenger hunt and hear a NEW Riddle Time riddle! Email your riddle responses to jointhejourney@watermark.org.
From the days of Moses when God made a covenant through him with Israel to come and dwell in their midst, Israel has offered sacrifice to Yahweh their God. The detailed instructions for offering sacrifices and for the shrine centre built to receive them are found in the Pentateuch. Originally this shrine was portable, meant to be disassembled and reassembled throughout Israel's journeying. It was reassembled in Shiloh which then served as the liturgical and spiritual focal point of Israel's worship and the center of national unity. David moved the Ark into his new capital of Jerusalem, and his son Solomon built a (very immovable and permanent) Temple to house the Ark. Thereafter all the sacrifices to Yahweh (all the legitimately-sanctioned ones anyway) were offered in that Temple in Jerusalem.

The idea of a third temple in future prophecy is a topic of great interest and debate among theologians and Bible scholars. Both 2 Thessalonians 2 and Ezekiel 40–48 are often cited in discussions regarding constructing a third temple, particularly in the context of end-times events. Let's explore what these passages teach and how or if they relate to a third temple. *****Support This Channel*****Paypal: https://paypal.me/jimivision?locale.x=en_USMonthly Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/JimivisionCash App: https://cash.app/$JimivisionVenmo: https://venmo.com/Jimmy-Cooper-17 Contact KenEmail: askbible4family@gmail.com Phone: 401-47-BIBLE https://www.bible4.family Mail To:Jimmy CooperJimivision MediaP.O.

Ezra 4: Opposition to Rebuilding the Temple Ezra 4 highlights the challenges faced by the Jewish exiles as they began rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem. Despite their commitment to God's work, adversaries arose to discourage and hinder their progress. Through intimidation, bribery, and false accusations to Persian kings, these opponents temporarily halted the reconstruction. This chapter serves as a reminder of the resistance that often accompanies obedience to God's calling and the importance of steadfast faith in overcoming obstacles.

What happens when God's people postpone His work? The book of Haggai addresses this struggle through the story of the Jewish people who, after returning from exile, left God's temple in ruins for 16 years while building their own luxurious homes. Through His prophet Haggai, God highlighted how this procrastination reflected deeper spiritual priorities and called His people back to proper worship.In this episode, Tiffany Coker and Pastor Jeff Cranston explore this relevant message from the second-shortest book in the Old Testament. They discuss how Haggai's four-month ministry succeeded in motivating the people to complete the temple - the very one where Jesus would later teach - and what this teaches us about prioritizing God's work in our own lives.[00:00] Introduction and Historical BackgroundHaggai is the second shortest book in the Old Testament at only 2 chapters long (Obadiah being the shortest)His name means "Festal One," likely indicating birth on a Jewish feast daySome scholars believe he was at least 70 years old when writing, as he may have seen Solomon's original temple[09:54] Historical Context and Rebuilding The Temple 538 BC: Persian King Cyrus allowed Jews to return from Babylonian exileApproximately 45,000-50,000 Jews made the journey homeTemple rebuilding began in 536 BC with initial enthusiasmTheir work was abandoned due to opposition from neighbors and Jewish indifferenceThe original temple had been destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BCThis rebuilt temple was the one Jesus knew throughout His ministry[00:14:54] Hey Theological Themes The primary theme centers on rebuilding the temple as God's dwelling place; God's manifest presence among chosen peopleHaggai criticized people living in luxury while God's house lay in ruinsRebuilding the physical temple pointed to the ultimate messianic templeQuote"The Jews had thoughtlessly placed their own interests before the Lord's interests, looking after their own safety and security without giving consideration to the status of the Lord's house." - Pastor Jeff CranstonJoin the ConversationWe love your feedback!

A breakaway message is a break from the series i'm involved in. My ministry has emergencies at times and also requires a lot of time. Sometimes I don't have enough time to prepare so I will do something from my Master's Program or something simple that God has laid on my heart.This is from the Prophet Haggai! The children of Israel were to be rebuilding the Temple - The House of God. They decided to to their own thing and ignore the Priority. Here is what happened.

Send us a Text Message.God raises up a descendent of King David to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. Zerubabbel faces liars, violence, and disunity, but through the power of God, he rebuilds the temple. Listeners note: Zerubabbel was not the one using violence and deceit. It became a bit confusing at one point in our discussion
Send us a Text Message.In this sermon, we delve into the real reasons behind the destruction of the Second Temple, as highlighted in the newly released animated movie "Agadat Churban—Legend of Destruction." The movie underscores how internal strife and division among the Jewish people, rather than the might of the Roman Empire, led to Jerusalem's downfall. By reflecting on the historical infighting and its consequences, we draw essential lessons on unity and the importance of fostering unconditional love within our communities to pave the way for rebuilding the Temple and achieving lasting peace.TakeawaysInternal Conflict Led to Destruction: The primary cause of Jerusalem's downfall was the internal strife and civil war among the Jewish people, which weakened their defense against the Romans.Importance of Unity: The historical lesson emphasizes the need for unity and collaboration among Jewish factions to avoid repeating past mistakes.Senseless Hatred vs. Senseless Love: The destruction of the Temple was attributed to senseless hatred. The antidote, as taught by our sages and reiterated by the Rebbe, is senseless love—unconditional love and support for every Jew, regardless of differences.Spiritual Preparation for Rebuilding the Temple: The path to rebuilding the Temple lies in self-improvement and fostering peace within the Jewish community, rather than focusing solely on physical or technical preparations.Devarim's Insight on Rest and Inheritance: The book of Devarim highlights the difference between “rest” (Shiloh) and “inheritance” (Jerusalem), suggesting that true divine presence and peace can only be achieved through harmony among the Jewish people.Support the Show.Got your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

After this Elijah followed God to a brook where he was miraculously provided for until the brook dried up.
