We're going to spend a lot of time in the book of Ezra this week. Read the book of Ezra and look at the big picture and see what questions are in that book. One in particular is, Why was it so important to build the temple first? If you look at the sequence of Ezra, it's to build the temple, then Ezra teaches them how to worship again which happens years later, then to build the walls. I won't disappoint anybody because I will bring in some archaeology which I'm fascinated by. We'll spend most of our time in Ezra.
