“Mockers…”

“Mockers…”

Blessings folk!

Fear not!

Nehemiah saw the fear of the people,
He did two things,.
He told them to fear not.
He told them how to “not fear”…remember the awesome Lord!

Two good things for us.

Let us back up to the beginning of this portion of the account…

Neh 4:1-3

Now it came about that when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall,
he became furious and very angry and mocked the Jews.

He spoke in the presence of his brothers and the wealthy men of Samaria and said,
“What are these feeble Jews doing?
Are they going to restore it for themselves?
Can they offer sacrifices?
Can they finish in a day?
Can they revive the stones from the dusty rubble even the burned ones?”

Now Tobiah the Ammonite was near him and he said,
“Even what they are building—if a fox should jump on it,
he would break their stone wall down!”

Know this.

Believers who truly seek to live the life of Kingdom of God will be mocked.

Mocked by the world.
Mocked by religionists.

Consider Jesus.
His greatest attack came from the religionists.

They will be angry.
They will mock.
They will belittle.
They will argue.
They will lie.
They will draw into question.

We see it in this passage…
Feeble…
Restore themselves…?
Can they…?
Can they…?
Can they…?
Even if they do…it will collapse.

Can they?
No…

Can we?
No…

But, there is a God.
The Most High!

Fear not the mockers.

He can!
He will!

Will we allow?
