- In looking at Ezra and Nehemiah, David Pawson gives the background of the 3 deportations which Israel had suffered under Assyria and Babylon, and the 3 returns to the land. Years earlier, Isaiah had prophesied that a man named Cyrus would release Israel from their captors and Cyrus, of Babylon, did just that though he did it for his own agenda. Apparently both being written by Ezra, these books record the rebuilding of the social life, of the religious life and of the physical wall and buildings, though the latter suffered threats and interruptions. Zerubbabel, of the Hebrew royal line, led the first return. Now Ezra, a priest, led the second and Nehemiah, a few years later, led the third. Each made an impact on a different aspect of Israeli life. Both books look at how the leaders went about rebuilding the state and reforming the people. The tragedy was that, though the earlier sin of the people had been the catalyst for losing their land, when they got back, they went back into sin. We see that Ezra was a “Bible man” - he studied it, he lived it and he taught it. What an example.
David also has a book on this series find out more here: www.davidpawson.co.uk/search/...

This man was incredible. Praise God for His unequal distribution of teaching gifts … for His people’s sake. What a blessing it has been to been lead to be lead to Brother Pawson’s (R.I.P. ✝️) online sermons after my own baptism by the Holy Spirit.
Everything you want to know the Old & the New testament look no further than to watch David Pawson's preachings & teachings. Truly he was the man of God who had honoured the Bible as the word of God.
David pawson my favourite Bible teacher. Love from India. Hoping to meet him in Heaven.
A national prayer movement is what is needed today to confess the nation’s sins to God
Though you are no longer with us, thank God we can still hear you speak, and what an absolute blessing that is.🙏🏽
The Holy Spirit led me here and i love it.
Wow..first hear and read the word of God and then go ready to worship .. beautiful
Great point on worship very important thank you!
Thank you Pastor Pawson, for the clear teaching and legacy you leave us.
Pastor David is very knowledgeable and he puts things so well.
Am just learning this now..He fought a good fight
My mind is sweating with Wisdom. WOW! GLORY TO ABBA! Glory to Yeshua!
I m glad that I found ur channel. I have never heard such a clear teaching. Thank u, God bless u, a man of God.
I had never given any thought to the "order of worship" until David Pawson spoke about it and it stuck such a chord of logic with me that I wanted to agree whole-hearted with him ...Word of God, then Worship music, after receiving the word we should be in tune to proclaim the Greatness, Holiness, and LOve of our Majestic creator.
Same! 🙏🤍
I really really really miss Dave Pawson ❤❤❤
excellent teaching! Thanks!
RIP [J. David Pawson 25 February 1930 - 21 May 2020 ]
teaching really good,morever he emphasises the implications of what happens if we r not obedient to God
The Orthodox Church (and the other Apostolic communions) maintained the order of Word and then worship. The first half of the Divine Liturgy is literally called the "Liturgy of the Word", and the second half, the "Liturgy of the Eucharist"
Wow! Wonderful and clear teaching
Very important point to put God´s word before worship. To read and hear it really fills with God. Then You can worship.
Thank God! God bless David Pawson
Thank you so much Mr David Pawson ❤
Man is insightful
Blessed 🙏🙏
You are truly blessed, of GOD, AMEN
Religion kill people but Jesus the true King save people. We do not need religion but only Jesus!
I've no idea what that means. Do you?
@@grantbartley483I think Sarali is saying that religion is the thing that kills people, (I don't know in what way, I think the spirit. I think she's referring to "Religion is just works" kinda thing.) And that you have to be born again through Jesus Christ.
Yes, I have noticed another Ezra in the 21st century, here! R.I.P!
Amen
8:23 Balaam the prophet prophesies the star that the wise men would follow
28:01 Ezra setup a wooden stand in the marketplace for the reading of God's word
29:01 have worship after the word!
32:25 I feel like I should be doing the same thing!! Wish I knew what on ramp to take! Terribly frustrating-no denomination lines up w/ a person's honest biblically supported convictions so what seminary is one suppose to go to? What path are they suppose to take? It's nearly impossible to seemingly get a straight answer to those questions meanwhile millions die w/out God-its the paradox of paradoxes-I guess it's aog or something similar
I have enjoyed this find. I wonder if Brother Dawson reads the comments.
The reason some of us start with singing in services, is to fulfill the command: "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His Courts with praise," from Psalm 100. I agree that this business of "working people up" is ill-conceived. It would also be good if the readings and preaching for the day were all coordinated as far as theme and content.
Maybe a middle position would be to start with one song, and then transition to the Ezra model. Yet, the scriptures give us no evidence of the Ezra structure in New Covenant format. I would put greater weight on an explicit command from scripture, than an unverifiable tradition.
I am thinking about Dawson's reasoning. He would use The Word to get us in the right frame of mind to sing. But I would use the music to get us into the right frame of mind to hear The Word. A multi-layered sandwich program seems best, with a fulfillment of Ps 100:4 coming first.
Idea: opening with a song derived from The Scripture. Boom! Everybody wins.
I agree with David Pawson
A simple prayer "Holy Spirit, anoint the ministry and give us ears to hear" is all we need, as the Holy Spirit will do the work in us.
Milk is hearing the word - Meat is doing the word ... and this comes from knowing or position in Christ Jesus and praying/declaring/professing our faith daily by praying in the Holy Spirit. Praying in tongues edifies the speaker. Unless we are edified to overflowing we are unable to minister effectively.
Our personal prayer life should mean we are in a perpetual state of readiness to participate in worship. If we come to a meeting and 'need to warm-up' ... we are looking to take from the gathering rather than 'give praise to God'.
God Bless
Thanks you😇🇬🇧
Believing in God is to follow Jesus Christ not religion!
Yes i can second that . Marrying a non christian didnt work for me . Our marriage failed. K
Amen
🙏
May this book(unlocking the bible) translate in to Persian language~
Yes the human working up bothers me as well. Thanks
Jesus only Jesus is life that we need but religion is dead.
I was being questioned as David mentioned artaxerxes was stepson of Esther..does bible says that..
Interesting question …and no, the Bible does not explicitly say that. However - You need to read the book of Esther alongside Nehamiah ….. many scholars believe Artaxerxes was the Son of Esther’s husband (and infact some believe he was the son of both Esther and Xerxes).
Unfortunately we can no longer ask David why he believed this to be true but there are sources of information outside the Bible eg the Jewish Talmud which is not considered scripture but is a well respected ancient Jewish document
Here is one source I found you may find of interest to read
juniaproject.com/queen-cupbearer-connections-esther-nehemiah/#:~:text=Most%20scholars%20believe%20that%20Artaxerxes,of%20Xerxes'%20other%20wives).
How artaxerxes sent letter to stopped the work before Darius. He was the son of Darius and how could he do that first ?

Nehemiah called God great and terrible. He and Jeremiah spoke so frankly to god.
The Book of Ezra Never been read by the voice and not all Prophesy in Scripture, the OLD TESTAMENT especially since the only PROPHET in the New TESTAMENT is JESUS, and the PROPHET he went to see in the wilderness,(ME), not all PROPHESY has taken place, ooo they were looking, thats how they got the jump on me with fake wives and TRYING to shut me up
Joseph married an egyptian, judah married a caaninite, moses married an ethiopian, and boaz married a moabite. Jesus lineage in matthew there are 4 women mentioned, they are gentile women. So marrying a jewish woman was started after coming back from babylon, probably some tradition of man they started and put it in their talmud.
But it is better to obey than to sacrifice ... or may have worked in those cases, but most odd those types of marriages lead to heartache.
Moses married an arabian
Abashed Sanctuary
“And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.”
Numbers 12:1 KJV
@@rodenranch6291 Zipporah, the Wife of Moses-Exodus 4:18-26 different woman from Midian, not a cushite, but an arabian descendants of Abraham that worshipped Yahweh . A Ethiopian cushite did not worship Yahweh but pagan gods
