https://youtu.be/-h-VOh2EXPU?si=VgD8Q5WDTjx95giE Our chronological study of the Scriptures brings us to the Book of Ezra. Today’s reading is from Ezra 1. The setting of our devotional is the fulfillment of the prophecies that the Jews would one day return from captivity and rebuild their lives, homes, and nation. Chapter 1 opens with King Cyrus proclaiming that the God of heaven had moved him to build His Temple in Jerusalem. #Cyrus, #Persia, #Babylon, #Ezra, #Jerusalem, #Israel, #Temple, #Rebuilding, #Faithful, #Promises, #Covenant,
