They approached Zerubabel, and the heads of the fathers' households, and said to them, "Let us build with you, for we are like you....."
As the work continued on the temple of God in Jerusalem, the enemy cleverly crept in, likening themselves to the children of Israel, and sought to join in the work. The enemy is like that at times, seeking to endear themselves to the child of God, yet their real desire is to stymie His work. Seeing through the ploy, the workers would go on building, but would face challenges such as discouragement, fear and frustration along the course. Sounds at times, very similar to what we go through, yet the love of Jesus Christ urges us on in Him.
