As the wall was about to be rebuilt, and the enemies were making severe threats, Nehemiah said after much prayer, “I looked things over…Then I stood up and spoke, “DON’T BE AFRAID OF YOUR ENEMIES. Remember the Lord. He is GREAT AND POWERFUL. SO FIGHT for your brothers and sisters. Fight for your sons and daughters. Fight for your wives and homes.” (Nehemiah 4:14)
Nehemiah was called by God to come and build the wall around the NEWLY REBUILT TEMPLE OF GOD. This wall was 2.4966 miles long, the average height was 39.37 feet, and the average thickness was 8.2 feet. The walls contain 34 watchtowers, and seven main gates open for traffic, with two minor gates reopened by archaeologists. “So, the city wall was completed on the 25th day of the month of Elul. IT WAS FINISHED IN 52 DAYS.” (Nehemiah 6:15) This wall was 13,182 feet long by 40 feet high just a little over 8 feet thick. Well, my dear friends if we are living for God and doing our best to obey and serve Him then He says, “I am the LORD. I am the God of all people. IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR ME?” (Jeremiah 32:27)
Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.” (Matthew 19:26) Remember our Abba Father spoke and our brother, Jesus created, on the fourth day of creation, “God said, “Let bright lights appear in the sky to give light to the earth and to identify the day and the night; they shall bring about the seasons on the earth and mark the days and years.” And so, it was. For GOD HAD MADE two huge lights, the sun and moon, to shine down upon the earth—the larger one, the sun, to preside over the day and the smaller one, the moon, to preside through the night; He had also made the stars (the billions of stars).” (Genesis 1:14-16)
