模块十八：重建国度与前途
Beyond the end was a new beginning as the scattered people were bidden to return. But the time was tough and the opposition great. How could a dead nation be re-born? 1 and 2 Chronicles creates the foundation, restoring the identity of this broken people. Ezra and Nehemiah reflect the rebuilding of the temple, Jerusalem and the nation. Exceptional times call for exceptional leaders! Not only Ezra and Nehemiah, with the prophetic support of Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi, but Esther too. The study of Kings is a prerequisite for this module.

As you understand through your inductive study the chosen emphases of the author, you will share in the restoring power of the Word of God.

撒迦利亚书
Zechariah, the contemporary of Haggai, supports the call to rise up and build the temple with eight visions in one evening. But then he goes beyond with insights far into his future. This book will challenge your interpretation skills but will be rich with application.
