Introduction
2. The opposition to construction ch. 4
No project that seeks to honor God and advance His will in the world will go unopposed by Satan and his agents. This chapter reveals that Israel’s enemies opposed temple reconstruction energetically and for many years.
"From this point onward right to the end of Nehemiah there is conflict." [Note: Kidner, p. 48.]
"The peoples of the land wished the exiles to be entirely like them. But these were people whose allegiance was fundamentally not to Yahweh." [Note: McConville, p. 27.]
