Key Verse 4:14

1. Who were the opponents who hindered the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem (2:19, 4:7)? How did they specifically obstruct the rebuilding of the wall (1-3, 7-8, 11)? Who are our opponents that hinder God’s work (Eph 6:12)?

3. What practical steps did Nehemiah take to address the threats from the enemies (9b, 13)? How did he encourage his people to trust in God (14)? How did the rebuilding of the wall progress despite the opposition (6, 15)?
4. How did Nehemiah simultaneously carry out the rebuilding of the wall and the defense against enemy attacks (16-18a)? How did Nehemiah establish a communication network in preparation for emergencies (18b-20)? How do you see the sacrificial efforts of Judah’s people and leaders in rebuilding the wall (21-23)?
