Nehemiah 7-9
After rebuilding the city walls, Nehemiah, along with Ezra, restores worship to God by organizing the descendants of priests and Levites (Neh. 7). This leads to a spiritual revival among the people: "All the people gathered together as one" (Neh. 8:1) to hear the reading of the Law of Moses.
Ezra and other priests and Levites read the Law and explained its meaning so that the people could understand it. The Word of God deeply touched the people's hearts, moving them to tears.
In addition to the public reading of Scripture, Ezra explained the Law separately to the priests and Levites. This led to the revival of the Feast of Tabernacles, during which Scripture was read publicly daily.
The revival expressed itself in purification and transformed lives: "The descendants of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners" (Neh. 9:2).
The Levites' prayer demonstrates a profound understanding of Israel's history and the Law of Moses. It recounts God's many mercies toward Israel: "In all that has happened to us, You have remained righteous; You have acted faithfully, while we acted wickedly" (Neh. 9:33).
As a result of the revival, the Israelites solemnly commit to living according to the Law of Moses.
Psalm 140
A heartfelt prayer to God amid persecution. Recognizing God as the source of our strength is the key to victory: "O Lord, my Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle" (Ps. 140:7-8).
Revelation 7
The sealing of 144,000 Jews during the Great Tribulation is another confirmation that this period was a significant time for the people of Israel. These individuals will turn to God and proclaim the Gospel to those living on earth during that time.
This chapter also reveals a great multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language standing before the throne of God, worshiping Him. It demonstrates the ultimate fulfillment of God's plan for salvation to reach all nations.
