ABOUT THE AUTHOR

• NEEMIAS WAS CUPBEARER TO THE KING OF PERSIA

AT THE TIME THE PEOPLE WERE IN BABYLONIAN EXILE.
• ONE DAY A FRIEND BROUGHT THE NEWS THAT
JERUSALEM WAS IN RUINS WITH BROKEN WALLS AND
BURNED DOORS.
• THEN HE WAS SAD AND PRAYED TO THE LORD, HE WAS
WILLING TO REBUILD THE WALL AND SAID HERE I AM.
THEN NEEMIAS'S STORY CHANGED.
PLOT
• WHEN NEEMIAS LEARNED THAT HIS PEOPLE AND HIS
CITY WERE SUFFERING, HE DECIDED TO ACT AND
REMINDED THE LORD OF THE PROMISES HE HAD MADE.
THEM BY THE GRACE AND MERCY OF THE LORD
RECEIVED FAVOR FROM THE KING OF PERSIA WHO
FREED HIM AND HELPED HIM WITH MATERIALS FOR
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WALL
PLOT
• NEEMIAS NEVER DOUBTED THE LORD, HE ARRIVED IN
THE CITY AND SAW ALL THE DESTRUCTION THEN SPOKE
TO PEOPLE AND MOTIVATED THEM TO WORK AND
REBUILD THE CITY BECAUSE HE KNEW GOD WAS THERE.
AS SOON AS THE REBUILDING BEGAN, THE ENEMIES
ROSE UP AND BEGAN TO MOCK THE PEOPLE AND
NEEMIAS.
PLOT
• SEEING THAT THEY DID NOT GIVE IN TO THE
PROVOCATIONS, THEY DECIDED TO ATTACK THE
CITY AND STOP THE WORK, BUT NEEMIAS,
GUIDED BY THE LORD, DID NOT COME BACK, DID
NOT GIVE UP, HE PUT THE GUNS IN THE HANDS OF
THE PEOPLE AND WITH ONE HAND THEY REBUILT
THE WALLS AND WITH THE OTHER THEY HELD THE
SWORD TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. THE
CONSTRUCTION NEVER STOPPED.
PLOT
• SEEING THAT THE ATTACKS DIDN'T WORK, THE
ENEMIES GATHERED AND RESOLVED TO
DECEIVE NEEMIAS WITH LETTERS, FOR HIM TO
QUIT WORK AND JOIN THEM TO KILL HIM. BUT
HE REPLIED: I CAN'T GO TO MEET YOU, I'M
DOING A BIG CONSTRUCTION, AND I CAN'T
STOP
PLOT
• THE LORD HELPED NEEMIAS IN EVERYTHING AND
STRENGTHENED HIM, TAUGHT HOW TO GUIDE THE
PEOPLE AND HOW TO RESTORE THIS NATION. HE
REBUILT THE WALL AND RESTORED ORDER IN
JERUSALEM. THE PEOPLE RETURNED TO WORSHIP THE
LORD AND OBEY THE LAW IN EVERYTHING NEEMIAS
OBEYED AND GOD HONORED HIM.
CHARACTERS
• NEEMIAS: CUPBEARER TO THE KING OF PERSIA, MAN OF FAITH WHO WAS NOT AFRAID OF ENEMIES OR
OBSTACLES, BUT HE WAS WILLING TO DO THE WILL OF GOD AND BECAME THE GOVERNOR OF JERUSALEM.
• KING ARTXERXES - PROBABLY A GOD-FEARING AND PIOUS KING
• SAMBALATE - HORONITE ENEMY WHO LIVED ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF JERUSALEM AND PROBABLY
BENEFITED FROM THE LACK OF PROVISION AND SECURITY OF THE PEOPLE OF JERUSALEM.
• TOBIAS - AMMONITE ENEMY WHO WAS SERVANT OF SAMBALATE.
OPINION

• FOR ME THIS BOOK IS REQUIRED READING BECAUSE IT TEACHES US ABOUT DISPOSITION, BE WILLING TO
DO GOD'S WILL, LIVE NEW THINGS, WORK AND TRUST IN THE LORD'S PROVISION EVEN WHEN IT SEEMS
IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN. TEACH US TO WATCH AND PRAY, NOT TO LET YOUR GUARD DOWN AND ESPECIALLY
NOT QUITTING WORK EVEN WHEN ENEMIES PRESENT THEMSELVES. NEEMIAS TEACHES US THAT IF WE
TRUST GOD AND DO OUR PART, THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR US. HE IS THE ONE WHO GIVES VICTORY AND HE
IS THE ONE WHO TAKES US TO THE PLACES WE NEED TO BE.
RECOMMENDATIONS

• I THINK THIS BOOK IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR EVERY CHRISTIAN WHO IS GOING THROUGH STRUGGLES
AND PERSECUTION, THAT THINKS HE'S IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME, THAT THINK IS VERY
FAR FROM YOUR PURPOSE, FOR HE TEACHES US THAT IF WE ARE WILLING TO DO THE WILL OF THE LORD, IF
WE SAY HERE I AM, THE LORD USES US AND PUTS US WHERE WE NEED TO BE, WILL ENABLE US AND
WRATH WITH US TO THE END, GIVING US VICTORY AND TAKING US TO HIGHER PLACES.
