In 52 Days
In 445 BC Jerusalem, its walls and gates were in ruins. The people were little better and were being governed by foreign parties in collaboration with the corrupt local elites. The future looked mighty dismal and the people were distressed. Could they survive?
Can one man make a difference? Nehemiah, the cupbearer to the king of Persia too, became distressed when learning of the state and condition of Jerusalem and its plight. Leaving the prestige, position and the lifestyle of the palace for Jerusalem, he encouraged the people to rebuild the walls and gates, to secure their homes and families again. Under immense intimidation and threats to their personal lives they rebuilt in 52 days for God was with them.
