102: The Dung Gate and the Jackal's Well (Nehemiah 1-4)
Manage episode 419364508 series 3418521
A refined member of the Persian royal court plans a remarkable restoration project in his Jerusalem homeland.
Without a building qualification to his name, Nehemiah becomes cheerleader for one of the greatest construction projects in the Bible, the rebuilding of Jerusalem's curtain wall.
But before he can execute a project as near impossible as this one, he needs to pull off another near impossible task: getting Persia's king to let him go.
Nehemiah's is a fabulous story, and it begins here.
Chapters covered: Nehemiah 1-4.
