Nehemiah returns to find the Israelites have gone back to some of their old ways even after making vows to God to never return to their evil ways.  He  reprimands them and runs evil people out of the temple and reminds the people of God's wrath and what will happen if they let their old lazy habits return and they forget that God is righteous and holy and has expectations on His children.  A lesson that rings true throughout the history of mankind, especially true today.

Construction of the wall is over now is the time to rebuild spiritually and socially.  Nehemiah sets up the order of the temple and the everyday happenings so that society can begin.

The family assignments on building the wall.

Admonishments for living "christianly".

Nehemiah prays and fasts for 4 months and is now ready to approach the king and the king notices he is sad.  This is the chance that God has put before Nehemiah to do the mission that was prepared for him.  Without fail, Nehemiah asks the king for permission, for supplies, for time off, and for an army to accompany him.  The king grants him everything needed to head to Jerusalem for his first time and begin to rebuild the wall that was destroyed so many years before.
