Nehemiah (Video) Teachings by Tom Bradford
Nehemiah is not a diary; and it is not Nehemiah’s journal. Rather it consists largely of Nehemiah’s memoirs (no doubt written after the fact), has many direct quotes of Nehemiah, shows the addition of historical editorializing, and even borrows on earlier materials such as family genealogies and lists of returned exiles that are close to identical with those found in the Book of Ezra. So if I were to give this book of name that best expressed its nature and purpose, I’d call it The History of Nehemiah. Of course, it is a history given to us in a condensed fashion that deals only with the most important matters as God sees it.
Overall, we can view this book as consisting of 3 parts:
Part 1 is chapters 1 – 6 and it speaks of the reason for Nehemiah’s journey to Jerusalem from Shushan, the capital of the Persian Empire. And that reason revolves around the urgent need, in his mind, to rebuild the broken-down walls of Jerusalem and its burned-up wooden gates.
Part 2 is contained in chapters 7 through about 2/3rds of chapter 12. This is about Nehemiah’s determined efforts to improve the level of prosperity of Jerusalem’s Jewish residents and to repopulate this large, but only sparsely inhabited city. And his method of doing this was to first secure the city from thieves and invaders, and second to insist on the Jewish residents faithfully complying with the Law of Moses so as to have a good and common moral and ethical base from which the community could operate in a Godly manner.
Part 3 starts in the last 1/3rd of chapter 12 and goes to the end of the book (chapter 13). Here, after living in Jerusalem for about 12 years, then leaving Jerusalem for a while and now returning, Nehemiah tries to clean up large-scale back sliding and attempts to make the reforms that first Ezra and now he had instituted more durable and permanent.
