Opposition and Delay, Standing Firm in God’s Work (Ezra 4)

Show Summary

Ezra 4 shows how opposition rises when God’s people obey His Word. The work is challenged,
delayed, and pressured, yet the Lord’s purpose stands firm. This episode encourages believers
to stand faithful when resistance comes and to trust God’s timing in every season.

Episode Notes

Scripture: Ezra 4

Opposition rises against the rebuilding of the temple through subtle compromise, open
hostility, and political pressure. Though the work pauses, God’s purpose does not. He uses
every delay to strengthen His people and will reignite the work in His perfect timing.
