Open Letter To The Priests and The People; Honour God By What You Do

“In my covenant I promised them life and well-being, and this is what I gave them, so that they might respect me. In those days they did respect and fear me. 6 They taught what was right, not what was wrong. They lived in harmony with me; they not only did what was right themselves, but they also helped many others to stop doing evil. 7 It is the duty of priests to teach the true knowledge of God. People should go to them to learn my will, because they are the messengers of the Lord Almighty. Mal 2:5-7 Good News Translation.

I Have Always Loved You; Why Do I Have To Prove It?

But Christ proved God’s passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly!
And there is still much more to say of His unfailing love for us! For through the blood of Jesus we have heard the powerful declaration, “You are now righteous in my sight.” And because of the sacrifice of Jesus, you will never experience the wrath of God. Romans 5:8-9 (The Passion Translation).

To Fast Or Not To Fast; What Is Your Opinion About This?

If you claim to be fasting and praying and you are very good in being bitter towards your fellow human beings, perverting justice, keeping malice, planning on how to harm one another, engaging in all forms of immorality, oppressing the widows, orphans and even foreigners living among you, then your fasting and prayer are mere exercises and are definitely in vain.

Two years later (536 BC), they began the rebuilding of the temple, which was led by Zerubbabel. Two years into the construction work (around 534 BC), the work stopped and was neglected for about fourteen years.
