End of the Babylonian Captivity

July 14, 2021 PM, Ezra 1:1-11.

In tonight's message pastoral intern Jansen Lorch leads our new study in the book of Ezra. We begin studying Israel's departure from Babylonian captivity and return to Jerusalem. King Cyrus' degree allowed the Jews to rebuild the temple (2 Chronicles 36:22-23) where we see the fulfilled prophecy proclaimed from the mouth of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 29:10). God also stirs up Israel's leaders to rebuild the temple and reinstate the precious articles of gold and silver, in which God preserved from destruction, during Israel's captivity and whereby were used in the house of the Lord.
