1 Nehemiah 3 “Those Who Step Up to Join the Great Work” Introduction Nehemiah 3 is all about work – how individuals pitched in and did the work together, coordinated and led by Nehemiah. This chapter shows the need for believers to work together to accomplish something. 1. It pleases God to see His people working together in one accord, with one heart, with one mind. God will put us into situations where we must work together, and learn how to lead, how to follow, how to work together with one heart and mind. 2. The wall was continuous. Any gap compromised the entire structure. Therefore, each space at the wall was important – even if someone did not think so. It is a beautiful example or picture for us in the New Testament. Eph 4:16 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying (i.e. building up) of itself in love. Map of the City during Nehemiah’s time https://www.conformingtojesus.com/images/webpages/jerusalem_in_nehemiah_time_m ap_1.jpg 3:1 The Jewish High Priest rose up along with all the Jewish Priests Neh 3:1 1 Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests and built the Sheep Gate; they consecrated it and hung its doors. They built as far as the Tower of the Hundred, and consecrated it, then as far as the Tower of Hananel. A. Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests So powerful that the number one spiritual leader steps up and gives a great example. No doubt greatly encouraging to Nehemiah and all the people. “No- wait and see what others might do first” attitude, but very dominantly stepped up!!! Such an important first move to have happened. Quote: (Guzik) “If you are a leader, others are looking hard at you and they follow your example. If you are slow to work, they will be also; if you are full of discouragement and doubt, they will follow. There is a good reason why Eliashib was first mentioned, and why the rest of the chapter is filled with the names of more than 50 others that followed his example in the work”. 2 B. They Built…the 1st things mentioned to be built, “The sheep Gate” So cool that the first gate that is mentioned is the gate in which the sheep and other sacrifices were brought through, to head towards the temple area for inspection by the Priest. The first gate was used for the worship of God!!! It seems that they had a very large area to cover: built the Sheep Gate as far as the Tower of the Hundred as far as the Tower of Hananel C. They consecrated it: The idea behind consecration is to recognize something as special; as uniquely set apart for God’s glory and service. These city gates were made special to God. Nehemiah and Eliashib knew that God wanted everything set apart special to Him, including these city walls and gates. Because the first of the work was specially set apart to God, it was a way for them to say, “All of this work belongs to You, LORD. This is a special work done unto You.” Note: (Great secret to a joyful life) This is a great secret of joy and success in life: to do everything as unto the LORD. Col 3:17 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. D. the Gates were a top priority: The gates were the critical entry and exit points to the city, and the places most likely to see an enemy attack. Therefore, the work started at each gate and worked out from there. 3:2-4 the men of Jericho and many more Neh 3:2-4 2 Next to Eliashib the men of Jericho built. And next to them Zaccur the son of Imri built. 3 Also the sons of Hassenaah built the Fish Gate; they laid its beams and hung its doors with its bolts and bars. 4 And next to them Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz, made repairs. Next to them Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabel, made repairs. Next to them Zadok the son of Baana made repairs. A. Next to Eliashib the men of Jericho built This group of guys traveled about 16 miles from their city. Jericho was a very vulnerable location being on the boarder of Israel next to all their enemies to the east. 3 Although they did not work on something as important as a gate, Every mans’ work was still important. Their section of the wall was essential to the protection and security of Jerusalem. B. Next to them: So awesome looking back in history and realize that you were a part of this monumental task. Something one man or even a small group of men could not do. But it took all 12 tribes to come together and join in this purpose. We read very simply (next to them…), but yet it is so powerful: next to them …Zaccur the son of Imri next to them ….Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz next to them ...Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabel next to them …Zadok the son of Baana Example: (All tribes unified; in dealing with the sin of the tribe of Benjamin) Judges 20:1 1 So all the children of Israel came out, from Dan to Beersheba, as well as from the land of Gilead, and the congregation gathered together as one man before the LORD at Mizpah. Judges 20:8 8 So all the people arose as one man, saying, "None of us will go to his tent, nor will any turn back to his house; Judges 20:11 11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, united together as one man. David talked about it in Psalms 133: Psalms 133:1-3 1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing--Life forevermore. 4 Example: (The first worship in Jerusalem in over a century and the beginning of the building of the temple) Ezra 3:1 1 And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem. Example: (Glorious- they equally come together to worship after the wall is complete, and then together as one they see a spiritual revival) Neh 8:1 1 Now all the people gathered together as one man in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate; and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded Israel. C. the Fish Gate…they laid its beams and hung its doors with its bolts and bars This gate got its name because of the nearby fish market. The Fish Gate was evidently a substantial gate and it was a large and extensive project to accomplish. D. Made repairs: (mentioned 35 times in Ch. 3) The word for repairs is the Hebrew word (chazaq), used 35 times in this chapter alone. It has the idea of strengthening, encouraging, of making something strong (Kidner). Note: (this is a picture of a spiritual principle in the New Testament) These are principles that have application far more than material gates and walls. The Bible says that we must be built up and repaired. We all come together and each person does their part: Eph 4:12 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying (i.e. building up) of the body of Christ, Eph 4:16 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying (i.e. building up) of itself in love. Quote: (Guzik) “God says the purpose of the church is for the equipping of the saints, and idea behind equipping is to prepare, strengthen, and make something able to be used. We come together as Christians to strengthen one another, to make us strong and able to live for Jesus and serve Him outside the gatherings of the church”. 5 3:5 but their nobles did not put their shoulders to the work of their Lord Neh 3:5 5 Next to them the Tekoites made repairs; but their nobles did not put their shoulders to the work of their Lord. A. Tekoites These were the people from Tekoa, which was a city of the tribe of Judah (The linage of the Kings; i.e. King David). It is about 12 miles from Jerusalem and about 7 miles from Bethlehem. B. but their nobles did not put their shoulders to the work of their Lord These nobles from the city of Tekoa thought they were above the hard work, so they didn’t join in.

    Nehemiah 12-13 • Nehemiah has been living and working in Jerusalem for 12 years o He’s returned Israel to a place of obedience and spiritual strength it hasn’t known since the time of Joshua § The wall is rebuilt § The city is occupied § The temple is operating § And the people are working and living in submission to God’s law under the covenant o In less than 400 years, the Messiah will be sent to Israel § Which is just enough time for this reborn nation to strengthen § To spread out and repopulate the land § Though always under the authority of Gentile nations God sends in fulfllment of His promises to Daniel § That Israel would be held under Gentile authority until the Messiah’s Second Coming • So as we conclude the text of Nehemiah tonight, we frst read through an accounting of the authority of the priestly line in Israel o It’s important to establish for future generations of Israel that the line of Aaron is still presiding over the temple activities § Arguably, these people were the most important exiles to return to Israel § Remember Ezra stopped during his return to Jerusalem because he noted he didn’t have enough priests among the exiles § So he recruited more to join him o The priests were the one irreplaceable group of individuals within the people of Israel § Without this tribe, the temple services would be impossible to conduct according to the Law © 2014 – Verse By Verse Ministry International (www.versebyverseministry.org) May be copied and distributed provided the document is reproduced in its entirety, including this copyright statement, and no fee is collected for its distribution.

    1 Chronicles 24 New King James Version (NKJV) 1 Chronicles 24 The Divisions of the Priests 1 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 And Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests. 3 Then David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to the schedule of their service. 4 There were more leaders found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus they were divided. Among the sons of Eleazar were sixteen heads of their fathers’ houses, and eight heads of their fathers’ houses among the sons of Ithamar. 5 Thus they were divided by lot, one group as another, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of the house of God, from the sons of Eleazar and from the sons of Ithamar. 6 And the scribe, Shemaiah the son of Nethanel, one of the Levites, wrote them down before the king, the leaders, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Levites, one father’s house taken for Eleazar and one for Ithamar. 7 Now the first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, 11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, 12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,[a] 16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,[b] 17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty- second to Gamul, 18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.

The prophet Jeremiah had prophesied that Judah would be taken into captivity by the Babylonians for 70 years Jeremiah 25:8-12 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. The Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem’s walls, gates and temple in 586 BC (2 Kings 25:1-21) (Daniel is taken to Babylon) . 50 years later after Cyrus the Great, King of Persia conquered Babylon, he allowed 50,000 Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple Ezra 1:1-2 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

THE LEVITES AND THEIR WORK (Chapter 23) INTRODUCTION The successful functioning of the Temple required a careful organization of the priesthood, All of the Levites were appointed special assignments with regard to the Temple. TEXT Chapter 23:l. Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel. 2. And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. 3. And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand. 4, Of these, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Jehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges; 5. and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith. 6. And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 7. Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei. 8. The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three. 9. The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ house of Ladan. 10. And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 11. And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in reckoning. 12. The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

Brown August 26 – Chronological Synopsis of the Bible – NASB Version comeafterme.com Zedekiah and the Slaves (589 BC) Jeremiah 34 Historical Summary 1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army, with all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and against all its cities, saying, 2 “Thus says the LORD God of Israel, ‘Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and say to him: “Thus says the LORD, ‘Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire. 3 You will not escape from his hand, for you will surely be captured and delivered into his hand; and you will see the king of Babylon eye to eye, and he will speak with you face to face, and you will go to Babylon.’”’ 4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah! Thus says the LORD concerning you, ‘You will not die by the sword. 5 You will die in peace; and as spices were burned for your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will burn spices for you; and they will lament for you, “Alas, lord!”’ For I have spoken the word,” declares the LORD. 6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem 7 when the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the remaining cities of Judah, that is, Lachish and Azekah, for they alone remained as fortified cities among the cities of Judah.
