After becoming settled in the towns
surrounding Jerusalem, the people
were called together for the purpose
of establishing tile worship of the
Lord God The leaders in this move
ment were Joshua and the priests,
and Zerrubahel, the governor. In
view of the fact that the clearing
away of the debris of the Old city and
temple and the erection of the new
temple would take a long time, an
altar was erected where sacrifice
might be offered at once unto God.
Upon this newly erected altar we're
offered the regular sacrifices COM
manded by Moses, including those of
the Feast of Tahernacles ezra.

The leading adversaries were the
Samaritans, mongrel people-the off
spring of the poor Jews who were left
in Palestine and the foreign people
who We're sent into Palestine after
the Jews were taken captive. The
three perils which delayed the build
ing of the temple for about fourteen
years revealed the persistent methods
which the enemy uses to hinder the
program of Gods people in every age.
