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 \u2013 the One Who created the universe and holds the eternity in His hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Why then the Lord allows such lawlessness on planet Earth? The Lord allows it, because people by their own actions destroyed the \u201cwall\u201d 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 \u201cin various places\u201d; the Word doesn\u2019t say that there will be an epidemic around the world at the same time. This fact reveals the artificial origin of this epidemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">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\u2019s words in our lives:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Why do the nations rage,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, \u201cLet us break Their bonds in pieces<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">and cast away Their cords from us. \u201dHe 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).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>NEHEMIAH\u2019S CHARACTER AND ACTIVITY IN THE BOOK OF NEHEMIAH <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Nehemiah was obedient and went to the captivity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">He did not forget his country and people.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">He had compassion toward and interest in his country.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">He experienced a deep pain, when he learned about the condition of his country: \u201cAnd they said to me, \u2018The 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.\u2019 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.\u201d His pain and grief were manifested through weeping, mourning for many days, prayer and fasting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">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: \u201cI pray, Lord God of heaven, O great and awesome God\u2026 we have sinned against You. Both my father\u2019s 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\u201d (1:5-11). J. Maxwell writes. \u201cNehemiah did not weep about himself, but about the people in Jerusalem. That\u2019s when the way out emerged.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">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: \u201cTherefore the king said to me, \u2018Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of heart\u2019\u201d (2:2).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Nehemiah was a good servant. He was the king\u2019s cupbearer. He was sincere and brave. He presented a well-thought request to the king: \u201cFurthermore I said to the king, \u2018If 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\u2019s 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.\u2019 And the king granted them to me according to the good hand of my God upon me.\u201d (2:7-8).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Nehemiah was confident that God\u2019s hand was upon him, and God was his only hope.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Nehemiah was brave and reserved: \u201cThen 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\u201d (2:12-16). At the right time, he revealed his intentions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">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. \u201cThe Lord does not look for the capable and make them faithful; the Lord looks for the faithful and makes them capable,\u201d a man of God once said. The king sent Nehemiah to Jerusalem for a certain period of time: \u201cSo it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time\u201d (2:6). Eventually the king made him the governor of Judah (5:14).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Nehemiah had a specific plan. At the right time, he presented it to the Jews, priests and noblemen: \u201cI had not yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials, or the others who did the work. Then I said to them, \u2018You 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.\u2019 And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me, and also of the king\u2019s words that he had spoken to me. So they said, \u2018Let us rise up and build.\u2019 Then they set their hands to this good work.\u201d (2:16-18).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Nehemiah would not listen to mockers. He was busy doing a great work.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Many took part in the construction of the wall of Jerusalem, but there were those of the nobleman who refused: \u201c\u2026but their nobles did not put their shoulders to the work of their Lord\u201d (3:5).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">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.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">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: \u201cMoreover, 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\u2019s provisions\u2026 because the bondage was heavy on this people\u201d (5:14-19).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Gossips, slander, threats, false prophecies\u2026 nothing was able to shake Nehemiah; he never left his God-given position.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">He appointed guards for the city. Nehemiah saw the real world adequately. He did not say, \u201cGod will protect us.\u201d He took into consideration both the physical world along with its implications and the spiritual.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">A census was taken in the country, and people collected donations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">All the people publicly repented. Families were breaking up because of the sins committed earlier \u2013 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: \u201cThen those of Israelite lineage separated themselves from all foreigners; and they stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers\u2026 and worshiped the Lord their God\u201d (9:1-3). The people remembered all the miracles that the Lord had done, and praised Him.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The people made a covenant with the Lord to keep God\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">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.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">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.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">To be continued<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People with awakened minds can see the danger looming over the population of the planet.
