The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 5:11-17

Things a Church should understand concerning itself. I. THAT IT IS ENGAGED IN THE SERVICE OF HEAVEN . "We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth" ( Ezra 5:11 ). 1. An exalted service. It is the service of God. 2. An extensive service. It reaches in its influence throughout heaven and earth. 3. An arduous service. It is to rebuild a ruined temple in the midst of enemies. 4. A humble service. At best the Church is but a servant. II. THAT IT... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezra 5:12

Our fathers provoked the God of heaven unto wrath . Mainly by their long series of idolatries, with the moral abominations that those idolatries involved—the sacrifice of children by their own parents, the licentious rites belonging to the worship of Baal, and the unmentionable horrors practised by the devotees of the Dea Syra. For centuries, with only short and rare intervals, "the chief of the priests, and the people, had transgressed very much after all the abominations of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezra 5:11

Ezra 5:11. We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth The God we worship is not a local deity; and therefore we cannot be charged with making a faction, or forming a sect in building this temple to his honour. But we pay our homage to the God on whom the whole creation depends, and therefore ought to be protected and assisted by all, and hindered by none. It is the wisdom as well as duty of kings to countenance the servants of the God of heaven. And build the house that was builded... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezra 5:12-14

Ezra 5:12-14. After that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven It was to punish us for our sins, that we were, for a time, put out of the possession of this house, and not because the gods of the nations had prevailed against our God. But in the first year of Cyrus, &c. We have the royal decree of Cyrus to justify us, and bear us out in what we do. And he not only permitted, but charged and commanded us, to build this house, and to build it in its place, (Ezra 5:15,) the same... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezra 5:1-17

The temple completed (5:1-6:22)Having given examples of anti-Jewish activity from another era, the writer returns to the time of Zerubbabel. Because of opposition from their enemies, the Jews did no work on the temple for about sixteen years. Then the prophets Haggai and Zechariah began to stir up the people to get them working on the building once more (5:1-2).Some local people must have objected to the renewed activity, and soon a group of officials arrived at the scene to question the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezra 5:6-17

Tattenai’s letter 5:6-17In contrast to Rehum and Shimshai’s letter to Artaxerxes (Ezra 4:11-16), Tattenai’s letter to Darius was fair and objective. He gave no indication of wanting to stop the Jews’ project. He only wanted to know if Cyrus had really given permission for the Jews to rebuild the temple and if Darius wanted that edict to stand.The record of this letter in the text shows that high-ranking government officials had observed God’s care of His chosen people. This would have... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezra 5:1-17

The Building of the Temple RecommencedThis chapter gives an account of a renewed attempt to rebuild the Temple, and recites a letter from the Persian officials in Judæa to the Persian court to enquire whether the Jews had leave to proceed with the work.1. Then the prophets] The hostility of their neighbours (Ezra 4:4-5), coupled with disastrous seasons (Haggai 1:10-11; Haggai 2:17), had so discouraged the people that they said ’The time is not come for the Lord’s house to be built’ (Haggai... read more
