Summary
Haggai and Zechariah have finished their prophesying. At this time, God determined that the revelation which he had provided up to this point was enough; his word was sufficient. For this season, Israel did not need a “fresh word” from the Lord. Rather, Israel needed to be instructed in the meaning of all the words of God which they had already been given. What Israel needed now was simply to understand and obey.

| 0:00.0 | All right, let's stand for the reading of God's Word. We are continuing our series through |
| 0:08.3 | the book of Absar. Our text for today is Ezra chapter 7 verses 1 through 10. I'll read the text in |
| 0:15.8 | its entirety. When I finish reading the text, I'm going to say, this is the word of the Lord, |
| 0:19.1 | at which point I would appreciate very much if you would respond by saying, thanks be to God. Again, one final time, |
| 0:24.8 | our text for today is Ezra chapter 7, verses 1 through 10. The Bible says this. Now after this, |
| 0:31.9 | in the reign of Arctic Xerxes, king of Persia, Ezra, the son of Sarariah, son of Azariah, son of Hylkaya, son of Shalam, |
| 0:43.1 | son of Zadok, son of Ahidab, son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Mariah, son of Marrioth, son of Zerehaya, son of Uzai, son of Bukai, son of Abashua, son of Phinehas, |
| 1:02.0 | son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, the chief priest. This Ezra went up from Babylonia. |
| 1:10.0 | He was a scribe, skilled in the law of Moses and the Lord, |
| 1:14.7 | the God of Israel, had given, and the king granted him all that he asked, for the hand of the |
| 1:20.9 | Lord, his God was on him. And there went up also to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Arctic Xerxes, the king, some of the people of Israel, and some of the priests and Levites, the singers and gatekeepers, and the temple servants, and Ezra came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king. |
| 1:43.1 | For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylonia, |
| 1:48.4 | and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, |
| 1:52.4 | for the good hand of his God was on him. |
| 1:55.6 | For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of the Lord, |
| 2:00.2 | and to do it, and to teach his statutes and rules in |
| 2:04.5 | Israel. This is the word of the Lord. All right, please be seated. Man, I'm not going to reread the |
| 2:12.7 | first couple of verses. Those names are tough. But one takeaway from that that just I love that the Bible does this |
| 2:19.3 | continually again and again and again because it's not a story it's not merely a narrative |
| 2:25.3 | there are narratives in the Bible there are stories but it's it's not fiction it's not |
| 2:30.4 | fantastical it is history It's a record. |
| 2:34.9 | And I love how it ends with verse 6. |
