📖🕯 Holy Bible - Ezra 1 with Matthew Henry Commentary at the end.

📖 This chapter is about: The proclamation of Cyrus for the rebuilding of the temple, The people provide for their return.

🕯 How does this apply today?: "The calls and offers of the gospel are like the proclamation of Cyrus. Those bound under the power of sin, may be made free by Jesus Christ. Whosoever will, by repentance and faith, return to God, Jesus Christ has opened the way for him, and raises him out of the slavery of sin into the glorious liberty of the children of God." ~ Matthew Henry

📖 About the book: The history of the book of Ezra is the accomplishment of Jeremiah's prophecy concerning the return of the Jews out of Babylon. From its contents we especially learn, that every good work will meet with opposition from enemies, and be hurt by the misconduct of friends; but that God will make his cause to prevail, not withstanding all obstacles and adversaries. The restoration of the Jews was an event of the highest consequence, tending to preserve religion in the world, and preparing the way for the appearance of the Great Deliverer, the Lord Jesus Christ.
