Dear Saints,
After Nehemiah had found the genealogy of Israel we are told Ezra the scribe read from the boom of God. With one heart, voice and mind all of the people received the Word and thus New Life began for them in their land. May the God of mercy and grace give to us Restoration and revival as New Life enters our souls.
Love and Peace in Christ Jesus,
Apostle Brenda D. Cooper
Now all the people gathered together as one man in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate; and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded Israel. So Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly of men and women and all who could hear with understanding on the first day of the seventh month. Then he read from it in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate from morning until midday, before the men and women and those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law.
And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up. And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. Then all the people answered, “Amen, Amen!” while lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
