21. Keep it Simple Nehemiah 3 thru 5

Step Up to the Microphone

This is our weekly Keep it Simple episode, it starts out boring in chapter 3 but heats up. As we read chapters 4 and 5 start thinking about modern day issues plaguing the United States at this time in 2021. Nehemiah had an small army to rebuild the gates and walls, it was an all hands on deck situation, much like it needs to be here today, and Nehemiah was very organized in his plans to rebuild the walls. In chapter 4 we see the Ammonites, Samarians, Arabs (descendants of Ishmael and Esau) becoming a problem with getting the gates repaired due to them attacking the gates. We have to remember during the siege from Nebuchadnezzar the walls were completely destroyed and even the rocks were burned. They stationed guards to watch all night and day to keep watch to keep the people that had inhabited the land during the captivity to keep them from destroying the walls. Nehemiah had to remind the people that God had ordained the wall being built and that the devil would do anything to stop it and he had to motivate the people to continue building. They had to use half the men as guards and the others had weapons in their belts ready to attach when the trumpet sounded, they weren't playing around. Nehemiah even had everyone sleep inside in the walls of Jerusalem to help keep guard, the leaders even bathed with their clothes on and their weapons in hand. Nehemiah even had to deal with social injustice due to the Jews in the area having been sold into slavery just to survive, they would have to buy back their fellow Jews and forced the nobles and higher ups into agreeing into Jubilee as described in the Bible. Nehemiah was also a great leader seeing how the people and refused the governors portion of food and made sure the people were fed due to the famine in the area and made sure the people were able to keep what they had earned.
Do you see the similarities of the time of Nehemiah and the times we are in? We've got a wall that's been attacked every way possible by politicians, cartels, and the elites paying for these caravans. We also have the people of this country having the burden of government regulation and taxes forced upon us while these supposed leaders jet set around the world and then tell us that we have to be limited to one hamburger a month and they're going to tax us more. We have a serious issue here that needs resolving and on top of that we get bashed every time we turn around by these leaders as they spread hate and fear. They do everything to humiliate us and demoralize us and to put us further behind the 8 ball and less likely to succeed. Sadly we have people that live amongst us that think this is awesome and praise them and worship the ground they walk on. Well it's time we wake these people up and get ourselves some Nehemiah's and take this country back with a new government for and by the people.
