104: Ritual and Rage (Nehemiah 9-13)
Manage episode 421878070 series 3418521
The Jews may be back in Jerusalem but things are far from rosy.
Nehemiah wades in like a teacher in an unruly classroom, desperate to create order and restore a level of godliness as Judah is resettled.
His concern is that this is the Jews' last chance to get things right with God, and so they should avoid any of the behaviours that led to them being captured and exiled in the past.
It's more talk than action, with plenty of lists and laws as Nehemiah attempts to tighten up the slack and inspire and encourage the lax and the lukewarm.
