People with awakened minds can see the danger looming over the population of the planet. The planned vaccination is obligated to all people on this planet. People who created artificial epidemics continue their demonic plan step by step by vaccinating the entire population of the planet in an organized way, and through this they gradually lead humanity to destruction. They have rebelled against God – the One Who created the universe and holds the eternity in His hand.

Why then the Lord allows such lawlessness on planet Earth? The Lord allows it, because people by their own actions destroyed the “wall” of their personal life, their own country and the whole planet. Some say that the Bible speaks about epidemics, famines and wars. It is so; however, the Word says that these things will take place “in various places”; the Word doesn’t say that there will be an epidemic around the world at the same time. This fact reveals the artificial origin of this epidemic.

Why have the walls of the planet been destroyed? The reason is, a part of humanity willingly accepted or agreed with witchcraft, perversion, worship of false gods and other abominations, which are detestable to God. The other part of humanity has become a participant of these satanic actions through their indifference or silence.

Today the time has come to awake in the spirit and turn to God Who created the universe. This is the time to mourn for the sins we have committed and to repent from them. No one has any right to justify themselves or blame others. All of us are to be blamed for destruction of the wall of our personal life and the whole planet.

Each one of us must repent, and we must join together in waiting for salvation from the Lord. If our repentance is genuine, we will see the mercy of the Lord and will taste His salvation. If our works get right, we will see the fulfillment of the Psalmist’s words in our lives:

Why do the nations rage,

And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves,

and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces

and cast away Their cords from us. ”He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure (Ps. 2:1-5).

After the repentance, a time for construction of the wall will come. Let us learn from Nehemiah who in 52 days was able to organize and manage the construction of the wall of Jerusalem. Below you can track his way to victory, step by step.

NEHEMIAH’S CHARACTER AND ACTIVITY IN THE BOOK OF NEHEMIAH

1. Nehemiah was obedient and went to the captivity.
2. He did not forget his country and people.
3. He had compassion toward and interest in his country.
4. He experienced a deep pain, when he learned about the condition of his country: “And they said to me, ‘The survivors who are left from the captivity in the province are there in great distress and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.’ So it was, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned for many days; I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven.” His pain and grief were manifested through weeping, mourning for many days, prayer and fasting.
5. Nehemiah realized the reason of the tragedy of his people. He was not looking for others to blame; he was seeking changes. In deep regret, he was crying out to God. While repenting, he did not separate himself from the rest of the people: “I pray, Lord God of heaven, O great and awesome God… we have sinned against You. Both my father’s house and I have sinned. We have acted very corruptly against You, and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded” (1:5-11). J. Maxwell writes. “Nehemiah did not weep about himself, but about the people in Jerusalem. That’s when the way out emerged.”
6. After his cry, there still was a pain in his heart. This pain was so deep that it was imprinted on his face when he served the king: “Therefore the king said to me, ‘Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of heart’” (2:2).
7. Nehemiah was a good servant. He was the king’s cupbearer. He was sincere and brave. He presented a well-thought request to the king: “Furthermore I said to the king, ‘If it pleases the king, let letters be given to me for the governors of the region beyond the River, that they must permit me to pass through till I come to Judah, and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he must give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel which pertains to the temple, for the city wall, and for the house that I will occupy.’ And the king granted them to me according to the good hand of my God upon me.” (2:7-8).
8. Nehemiah was confident that God’s hand was upon him, and God was his only hope.
9. Nehemiah was brave and reserved: “Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me; I told no one what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem” (2:12-16). At the right time, he revealed his intentions.
10. Nehemiah trusted God. He received an opportunity to fulfill his dream and do his task from where he was at the time. Nehemiah was just a cup-bearer, but he became the restorer of Jerusalem. “The Lord does not look for the capable and make them faithful; the Lord looks for the faithful and makes them capable,” a man of God once said. The king sent Nehemiah to Jerusalem for a certain period of time: “So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time” (2:6). Eventually the king made him the governor of Judah (5:14).
11. Nehemiah had a specific plan. At the right time, he presented it to the Jews, priests and noblemen: “I had not yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials, or the others who did the work. Then I said to them, ‘You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach.’ And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me, and also of the king’s words that he had spoken to me. So they said, ‘Let us rise up and build.’ Then they set their hands to this good work.” (2:16-18).
12. Nehemiah would not listen to mockers. He was busy doing a great work.
13. Many took part in the construction of the wall of Jerusalem, but there were those of the nobleman who refused: “…but their nobles did not put their shoulders to the work of their Lord” (3:5).
14. Nehemiah loved not only his country, but his people as well. Having heard the cry of the poor, he assembled the noblemen and priests and, correctly presenting the situation, asked them not only to return everything taken away from the poor and forgive their debts, but also donate one hundredth of their possessions to those who lacked.
15. Nehemiah did not enact his governor privileges and ordered the other leaders to do the same until the situation of the people improved. He asked the Lord to remember him because of that: “Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, twelve years, neither I nor my brothers ate the governor’s provisions… because the bondage was heavy on this people” (5:14-19).
16. Gossips, slander, threats, false prophecies… nothing was able to shake Nehemiah; he never left his God-given position.
17. He appointed guards for the city. Nehemiah saw the real world adequately. He did not say, “God will protect us.” He took into consideration both the physical world along with its implications and the spiritual.
18. A census was taken in the country, and people collected donations.
19. All the people publicly repented. Families were breaking up because of the sins committed earlier – many men took women from other nations as wives and some already had children from them. The wives from other nations and the children they had were sent away from Israel. Holiness was restored in the nation, and in holiness, the people started worshipping the Lord: “Then those of Israelite lineage separated themselves from all foreigners; and they stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers… and worshiped the Lord their God” (9:1-3). The people remembered all the miracles that the Lord had done, and praised Him.
20. The people made a covenant with the Lord to keep God’s law, not to give their daughters as wives to the other nations or take wives from the other nations, to bring their tithes, offerings and first fruits in time, to take care of the Levites and not to forsake the house of the Lord.
21. They determined the order of who was to leave their possessions and settle in Jerusalem, and who was to stay in the other towns and villages.
22. While Nehemiah was absent from Judah, disorder started again. The true leader and his presence are always necessary. One of the rooms in the house of the Lord, which was separated for tithes, grain offerings, frankincense and the temple articles, was emptied and given to Tobiah, because he was a relative of the keeper of that room. Nehemiah drove Tobiah out and restored the order. Levites were restored to their positions. Nehemiah strictly established observance of the Sabbath. He placed his servants at the gates so that no goods could be brought to the city on the Sabbath.
