Description

Why did thousands of Israelites stand for six hours in the hot sun just to hear God's Word?

After Nehemiah completes the wall in just 52 days, he shifts focus from building structures to building hearts. In this episode, Nehemiah calls Ezra in to read the Law to the people for the first time in generations. So the people gather at the Water Gate, a prophetically symbolic location near Jerusalem's water source, craving to hear the Book of the Law they've never had access to before. The Israelites response to God's word is an inspiration. 

Themes of this episode:

• How reading God's Word restored Israel's relationship with Him.
• Why the Water Gate location holds prophetic significance.
• Practical ways we can be an Ezra or Levite in our own community.
