KJV summary for : Ezra 5
Summary: In Ezra chapter 5, the narrative shifts to the prophetic encouragement that revitalizes the efforts of the Jewish exiles to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. Two key prophets, Haggai and Zechariah, emerge and inspire the people with their messages, reminding them of God's faithfulness and the importance of rekindling their commitment to the work. As a result, the Jewish leaders, Zerubbabel and Jeshua, resume construction amid opposition. The local authorities, disturbed by this revival, question the legitimacy of the rebuilding efforts, demanding to know who authorized the work. In response, the Jews provide details about the past decree of Cyrus, king of Persia, which originally permitted their return and reconstruction. This chapter highlights themes of perseverance in the face of opposition, the significance of prophetic ministry, and the sovereignty of God in guiding the affairs of His people. Ultimately, it underscores the importance of adhering to divine directives in fulfilling God's purposes.
