……. . unrighteousness……. .
• He contended with unrighteousness (Neh. 13: 11, 17, 25, 28) • They used compromise, especially in intermarriage (Neh. 13: 23 -25)
What does this mean to us? • Spiritual warfare begins when the enemy (Satan) perceives that someone is trying to seek God’s purposes or to protect the wellbeing of God’s people. Nehemiah drew the attention of his enemies, Sanballat and Tobiah, who were “deeply disturbed” when he began the work of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. They employed a variety of strategies to divert Nehemiah from his task. These strategies of the enemy have been used through the generations, even until now. Nehemiah’s counterstrategies helped him to persevere and to finish his task. • • © The Woman’s Study Bible NKJV By Nelson publishers
