BRAGADAYJAH 1188
Knowing the Mission of the Enemy
Nehemiah knew within himself that God had not sent Sanballat against him to thwart the work and cause him to sin. Therefore Nehemiah prayed to God to think upon Sanballat and the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of those who were prophesying lies against him; and all this time, the wall was continuing to be built and it was finished in 52 days, in the twenty fifth day of the month Elul. And it came to pass that when all their enemies heard that the wall was finished, and when all the heathen that were looking on and hoping the work could be obstructed saw that it was not, they were all much disappointed for they knew that the work was the work of our God having regard to all the obstacles that they encountered. In addition at that time the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah and Tobiah sent many letters to them; for they were many in Judah who were loyal to Tobiah because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah the governor, and his own son was married into the ruling class. And therefore he sent letters to Nehemiah hoping to put him in fear; but Nehemiah remained true to the work and faithful to the Lord his God; and so the wall was completed.
