Read by David Suchet

Quick Summary of the book of Nehemiah:

About 14 years after Ezra’s arrival in Jerusalem, Nehemiah, the king’s cupbearer in Persia, learns that the walls of Jerusalem are in a state of disrepair. Nehemiah travels to Jerusalem and oversees the construction of the city walls. He is opposed by enemies of the Jews, who try to thwart the work with various tactics, but the wall is finished with God’s blessings in time to observe the Feast of Tabernacles. Ezra reads the book of the law publicly, and the people of Judah rededicate themselves to following it. The book of Nehemiah begins with sadness and ends with singing and celebration.

This is 2023 I am 69 years old in the month of May and I have just had ankle surgery and must stay off of my foot for eight weeks. I am so thankful and so grateful for these this Bible being read by one of my favorite actors, I sit here in my chair with my eyes closed and I listen to the word being poured into my spirit. Thank you so much.

[deborahmandra]

I am so glad that there are
NO COMMERCIAL BREAKS
all the other Bible-reading broadcasts in my area you have to stay close to your device so you can push the skip add button
When I go to bed I always listen to you
Your voice rocks me to sleep.
Because I am an “above the knee” amputee I spend a lot of time in a wheelchair
Being confined to a sitting position has it’s own world of pain related issues
Yes! It’s good to be rocked to sleep
I then listen to the same broadcast the next day to get what I missed during slumber
Blessings

This is amazing, it shows the solidarity, the sense of justice and the organisaion of the Jewish nation from ancient times, no wonder they were "the chosen people". Also very remarkable is the mention of Shallum's daughters among those who helped with rebuilding of the wall.

1 John 4:7-8 (KJV) Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

poor Nehemiah. i could imagine his distress and headache because of the people who didn't follow the rules after all this time 😭 this cycle of abandoning the Law and God has been repeating over and over again since the time of Moses.. it's just disheartening to see that people never learned at all and keep on going back to the old wrong ways 😢

[brittanyjudkins]

What raboni do I show the anointing and the wardrobe I have been arrayed with since my rebirth? Perhaps I might figure a way before my cold death. Sir who do I call? The book said to show myself but in my day this thing is rather unusual and I have not found so much as the confidence to approach a building in a meaningful way. I don't know how to talk to them about what I was shown.
