BBE summary for : Nehemiah 2
Summary: In Nehemiah chapter 2, Nehemiah seeks permission from King Artaxerxes to return to Jerusalem to rebuild its walls. After expressing his sorrow over the condition of Jerusalem, the king notices his distress and inquires about his concerns. Nehemiah prays silently and boldly requests a leave of absence, along with resources for the journey and materials for the construction. The king grants his requests, demonstrating God’s favor on Nehemiah’s mission. Upon arrival in Jerusalem, Nehemiah inspects the walls discreetly at night, assessing the damage without initially revealing his identity or purpose to the residents. He then gathers the Jewish leaders and articulates his vision for rebuilding, emphasizing the need to restore the city's dignity and security. Nehemiah encourages the people to rise up and join him in this important work, and they respond positively, ready to take action. The chapter concludes with opposition from Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem, foreshadowing the challenges ahead, but Nehemiah remains resolute in his commitment to fulfill God’s calling to restore Jerusalem.
