No doubt, the encroaching enemies played a part in their sacrifices, for they greatly needed God’s help (Ezra 3:3). Some time evidently had elapsed due to their settling in their cities, before regathering in Jerusalem on the seventh month to restore the sacrifices. We are not sure which month the Israelites first returned to Israel. The enemy’s threats instigated the restoration of daily sacrifices (Ezra 3:3). On the first day of the seventh month, Israel regrouped under good leadership to begin rebuilding the altar’s foundation (Ezra 3:1) and offering sacrifices (Ezra 3:6).
Nehemiah, later, restored Jerusalem’s city wall. The church relives the same situation after the Second Temple’s foundation was relaid during Ezra’s time, waiting for its full completion.Įzra 3 mentions two foundations the first foundation refers to the altar’s foundation (Ezra 3:1-6), while the second is the temple’s foundation (Ezra 3:7-13).
