"This Ezra went up from Babylon, and he was a scribe skilled, in the law of Moses, which the Lord God of Israel had given; and the king granted him all he requested because the hand of the Lord was upon him."
When we looked at some of the men responsible for the exile return to Jerusalem, and the rebuilding of the temple, we saw men of God like Zerubbabel, a true prince of Israel. Then there was Zechariah, son of Iddo who was a true prophet and scholar, his own writings studied by Ezra. Then Ezra himself, one who hid away in his heart of the scholarly works of antiquity that reinforced his wisdom and knowledge, and granted to him a communion and favor that extended to the heathen king. God truly had a plan for Israel, for a hope and a future that has brought them into the 21st century. Like the Jews, He has plans for good, for each and every one of His kids.
