This study will take a verse-by-verse journey through Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther, examining the remarkable story of Israel’s return from captivity and God’s providential hand upon His people. Students will explore the rebuilding of the Temple, the restoration of worship and the adherence to God’s Word, the opposition Israel faced, and God’s preservation of His people even while they remained scattered among the nations. Through these three books, we will see God faithfully working behind the scenes to preserve Israel and advance His prophetic purpose. 9 CREDITS
