Stephen TaborNARRATOR
So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.
Stephen TaborNARRATOR
But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the people of Ashdod heard that the repairs in Jerusalem's wall had gone ahead and that the gaps were being closed, they were very angry.
Stephen TaborNARRATOR
They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it.
Stephen TaborNARRATOR
But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.
Daniel BatarsehHOST
which teaches us that the combination of Christ-like character and the results of our ministries as those ministries of ours are connected to the Holy Spirit are capable of speaking louder than anything that is said about you or me.
Daniel BatarsehHOST
Nehemiah didn't waste his time trying to convince Sanballat and Tobiah and Geshem that he was a good guy and that he had the right motives and why he was doing what he was doing.
Daniel BatarsehHOST
He just kept his hands white knuckled on the plow.
Daniel BatarsehHOST
And when the time came, God, God showed up on his behalf.
Hunter BarnesHOST
The king, I should add, had sent along army officers and horsemen to protect me.
Hunter BarnesHOST
But when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite officially heard of my arrival, they were very displeased that someone had come to help the people of Israel.
Hunter BarnesHOST
So I arrived in Jerusalem three days later.
Hunter BarnesHOST
I slipped out during the night, taking only a few others with me.

Harry AmdurerHOST
When he returns in the book, Demands that the Torah is read in full.
Harry AmdurerHOST
When he comes, he designs, reinforces and redesigns the walls of Yerushalayim so that Sambalat and the Shomronim, the Samaritans, can't attack Yerushalayim.
Harry AmdurerHOST
Nehemiah comes with an army.
Harry AmdurerHOST
A Persian army.
Lonnie KeeneGUEST
He's rebuilding the wall.
Lonnie KeeneGUEST
And Sanballat and Geshem, they come by and they try to talk Nehemiah down.
Lonnie KeeneGUEST
They say, dude, come on down.
Lonnie KeeneGUEST
Come on down.
David StewartGUEST
There are more walls-
Dan KleinHOST
Sanballat's not done.
David StewartGUEST
Right, so-
Dan KleinHOST
Mo walls, mo problems.
Jonathan DoveHOST
Last week we saw the first wave, external opposition.
Jonathan DoveHOST
Enemies like Sanballat and Tobiah, men who were well respected by other people, but they were like power hungry and they worked to stop Nehemiah and the whole faith community from doing the work that God had called them to do.
Jonathan DoveHOST
And yet the people, they decided, no, we're not gonna let this stop us.
Jonathan DoveHOST
So they had a trowel in one hand, a sword in the other, and they continued to rebuild the walls.
Jonathan DoveHOST
Because if you take out the leader, the whole project grinds to a stop, it fails.
Jonathan DoveHOST
So this is how chapter six of Nehemiah begins.
Jonathan DoveHOST
Sanballat, Tobiah, we saw those characters last week, and Geshem the Arab and the rest of the enemies found out that I had finished rebuilding the wall and no gaps remained, though we had not yet set up the doors and the gates.
Jonathan DoveHOST
So it's a picture of the same.
Brooks RussellHOST
Watch what happens.
Brooks RussellHOST
In verse 10, it says, when Sanballat the Hornite and Tobiah the Ammonite officially heard about this, they were very much disturbed that someone had come to promote the welfare of the Israelites.
Brooks RussellHOST
There's always going to be opposition when you take a stance for Jesus.
Brooks RussellHOST
There's always going to be opposition, and it's going to come at the early stages to discourage you.
Daniel BatarsehHOST
Look at verse one with me, Nehemiah six.
Daniel BatarsehHOST
"Now when Sanballat and Tobiah and Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall and that there was no breach left in it, although up to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates." What is Nehemiah revealing to us here? The near completion of this project.
Daniel BatarsehHOST
The walls are rebuilt.
Daniel BatarsehHOST
The damage has been repaired.
Daniel BatarsehHOST
But the target of the attack is different.
Daniel BatarsehHOST
Look at verse two.
Daniel BatarsehHOST
"Sanballat and Geshem sent to me saying, 'Come and let us meet together at Hakkephirim in the plain of Ono.' But they intended to do me harm." What you and I are going to see in the remainder of this chapter is that the enemies of Judah have now narrowed their focus to one singular objective, Nehemiah.
Daniel BatarsehHOST
We have to get rid of Nehemiah.
