Ezra 6 - Temple Completed: Dedication Celebrated | Bible Podcast, David Alley,Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Ezra chapter 6, read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Ezra 6 we compare the construction of Solomon’s temple with the construction of Ezra’s temple, which took half the time. And we also encounter the use of Aramaic in scripture instead of Hebrew. Aramaic is the third language of scripture, rarely used, but a by-product of the exile, and the language that Christ ultimately spoke. This video will go over the use of Aramaic and some of the associated facts that are less commonly known

Ezra 5 - Rebuilding Resumes: Tattenai's Inquiry | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Ezra chapter 5, read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Ezra 5 we consider whey the building of the temple was delayed, and we tie in the prophecy of Haggai, a post-exilic prophet. We also contemplate why Darius had such a big heart towards the rebuilding, and why he was so magnanimous towards Ezra. Did Daniel have anything to do with it?

Ezra 4 - Opposition to the Rebuilding Efforts | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In Ezra 4 we discover that the people of the land want to sacrifice to Yahweh too, but theirs is a syncretistic worship which is rejected. In this video we learn about Samaritans, and the history behind them, and what brought about such a despised attitude by those of the south. And, we also learn that there were actually 3 major decrees by 3 kings concerning Jerusalem. Cyrus, Darius and Artaxerxes all were involved in commanding the reuilbind of the temple, the city, and the walls. One of these commands is reference in the prophet Daniel.

The Bible: Ezra Chapter 3

In this video listen to Ezra chapter 3, read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Ezra 3 the foundation of the temple (God’s house) is laid while they sing Psalm 136. For us, what is the foundation of the Lord’s house? According to the NT scriptures it is apostles and prophets, with Christ as the chief cornerstone. (Ephesians 2:20) What seems so real in the Old Testament is a symbol a much more real temple in the NT. So there are two ways to interpret this for us. Firstly we have the scriptures, being comprised of the OT prophets, the NT apostles and Christ - and this is the foundation of our faith. But secondly this is true in a relational way as well. As we walk with our leaders and with Christ, and our hearts are knit together, we become a temple of living stones as Peter said in his epistle. Our lives are to be joined together as a house for the Lord. This is the real temple. And in our world today, such a foundation is needed.

The Bible: Ezra Chapter 2

There are actually 4 key returning moments described in the old testament. Two are here in Ezra, and a further two in Nehemiah. This first return is in around 536 BC, a full 70 years after Nebuchadnazzers first exile, and 50 years after his last. Two million Israelites went into the promised land under Moses, but just 49000 under Shashbazar.
