Prophets

Would you like to read James McNaught’s novel Sinking Sand”? click here: Sinking Sand
(The views expressed in this blog are my own and should not be taken as inspired in any way.)
Ezra 5:1–2, “Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them. Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.”

Even though the returnees suffered considerable political interference, the Lord was always with them and sent them prophets to encourage them and to teach them that the Lord is still in control of their circumstances. They were able to take encouragement from these prophets and continue their work.
