The Book of Nehemiah will
require but few remarks; but it is important to establish
its import. It is a necessary link in the history of
God's dealings, in the recital of His patience and
loving-kindness towards Jerusalem, which He had chosen.
In Ezra we have seen the
temple rebuilt and the authority of the law
re-established among the people, who are again separated
from the Gentiles, and set apart for God.
In Nehemiah we witness the
rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem, and the restoration
of what may be termed the civil condition of the people,
but under circumstances that definitely prove their
subjection to the Gentiles.
