Family, Friends & Memories
The restoration work began with Zerubabel and Ezra but they were only able to restore the Temple and Private Dwellings.
The temple was intact but it’s had to worship when the community is in ruin. (Temple , Outer Court Gate Structure)
The Walls kept them safe from outside attacks but now with the walls laying in ruin we see a vunerable community. The enemy is always looking for a way in to destroy God’s people.
