Summary | Nehemiah is God's last word (from the historical record) in the Old Testament. The last event of Nehemiah centers around the dedication of the wall, which in this setting meant initiating or starting over. God is willing to give you a fresh start in the knowledge of God. From the record, God gives that fresh start to those who purify themselves, rejoice in the Lord, and rest in the blood of Jesus. The outworkings of dedication is joy and walking in the light of the Word of God (i.e. reality). |
