Bible Study Curriculum:Nehemiah

For 400 years before Jesus came the land of Israel was occupied by the Persians, then Alexander the Great and in 65 BC - Rome.

Help your Bible Study, Kids Club and Sunday School children understand that even under foreign rule God marvellously restored Israel.

Nehemiah was a key person called of God to return to Jerusalem to take charge of rebuilding the broken down walls around Jerusalem.
The people needed to be safe from robbers and wild animals.
Every family helped to build a part of the wall so that it was finished in 52 days.

It was dangerous because robbers tried to stop them.
Some people had to guard the workers with swords.

Our picture shows the work continuing at night while a guard keeps watch.
