| 0:00.0 | So, Hey my friends, it's Matt, this is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast and here in my right hand I've got my Alexander the Great coin that I get out every single time that I'm going to reference or talk about Alexander the Great. |
| 0:30.0 | I'm going to hear it listen to it. I'm going drop it in my hand. It's silver. It's got some girth to it. I dropped it on my Bible right there. Is that sacrilege? Maybe I shouldn't do that. I don't know. Well, I mean what happened has happened and now you know scientifically that's what it |
| 0:44.9 | sounds like when you drop an Alexander the Great silver coin from whatever |
| 0:49.3 | 340 BC onto a Bible printed 10 years ago. Pretty cool. |
| 0:54.2 | Alexander casts a super long shadow. There's a reason you know his name even if you |
| 0:58.6 | never had a Western Civilization class. I don't know if they teach those anymore |

| 1:32.3 | Nehemiah, the book of Ezra, the book of Esther, the book of Hagai, |
| 1:35.9 | the book of Zacharai, all of that kind of stuff. |
| 1:37.9 | So why am I bringing up Alexander the Great? |
| 1:39.8 | Because yesterday we were talking about, we were speculating about how much clout |
| 1:44.2 | Nehemiah had right now as we get into Nehemiah chapter 5 and see that he's able to |
| 1:49.1 | just call people on the carpet and be like stop doing all the things you're doing |
| 1:52.4 | give back money, give |
| 1:53.3 | back land. Do what I say and they're like yes sir we're so sorry sir. Okay well let's put |
| 1:57.9 | it to an oath then if you mean it. Priests come over here make all these |
| 2:00.6 | nobles and powerful people take an oath in front of everybody to say |
