ellauri094.html on line 375: A Jewish generation was about 30 years and if you think of 7 generations that is about 210 years. (If they started breeding at 10 then it would be just 70, so no contradiction! Muhammed's fifth wife was 9.) The exile from Jerusalem began in 586 BC. So 210 years later it would land on 376 BC. But way before then the Jews have already made big caravan trips back to Jerusalem which took place in the 6th to 5th Century BC (see the book of Ezra and Nehemiah). There’s no specific migration that stood out in the 300s BC.
ellauri111.html on line 668: Pray. Pray and talk to God about whatever is on your heart. The Bible says to "pray without ceasing." I like to get up early in the morning while it is still dark and go to my prayer place so that I can present myself before the Lord. I search my memory for the things he allowed me to do the day before and the things he did for me. I praise him and I thank him. I pray for other people. I ask him to forgive me of my sins. When we pray to God, we need to be real. Pray about whatever is real for you at that time. You can praise God and his holy child, Jesus. You can glorify him for what he has done for you, you can thank him for what he has done for you, you can ask him to help you to overcome sin, you can ask him to help you in your daily tasks, you can ask him to show you the way that you should go, and more. The joy of the Lord is your strength (ref. Nehemiah 8:10). And when you pray, pray in Jesus´ name (John 14:13-14; John 15:16; John 16:23).

Coleridge shortly afterwards asserted that he had only allowed Lloyd's poems to be published together with his own at the earnest solicitation of the writer, and ridiculed both them and Lamb's poems in sonnets subscribed "Nehemiah Higginbotham" in the Monthly Magazine, November 1797.
ellauri498.html on line 224: Nehemiah’s return to Jerusalem around 445 BCE was a massive turning point for the Jewish people. While earlier waves of returning exiles focused on rebuilding the temple, Nehemiah’s mission was all about political security, structural restoration, and societal reform. Nehemiah was not a priest or a prophet; he was the highly trusted high-ranking cup winner to the Persian King Artaxerxes I (Ahasverus). He arrived not as a refugee, but as the officially appointed Governor of Judah (Tirshatha), complete with a military escort and royal letters granting him free timber from the king’s forests.
ellauri498.html on line 226: Nehemiah did not just dangle his balls; he fixed the broken society. He found that wealthy Jewish nobles were charging high interest and forcing poor citizens into slavery to pay imperial taxes. Nehemiah was furious. Without walls and distinct leadership, the Jewish identity was rapidly fading through cultural assimilation and compromised marriages with neighboring idolatrous nations. Nehemiah, alongside the scribe Ezra, instituted strict religious reforms. They re-established the Sabbath laws, rebuilt the walls like Trump on the border of Mexico, closed the city gates to foreign traders on holy days, and strictly enforced the Mosaic Law to ensure the nation’s distinct survival. His leadership ensured that the Jewish community survived as a distinct political and religious entity in the centuries leading up to the New Testament era. In short, he was worse than Bibi, worse than Moshe Dayan.

The returnee books of Ezra and Nehemiah record strict policies against intermarriage and temple participation by foreigners, including those from Samaria (cf. Ezra 4:1–3; Neh. 13:28–29). This exclusion may have catalyzed a definitive break, with the Samaritans affirming Mount Gerizim as the divinely ordained site of worship and preserving their own Torah scrolls to reflect this belief.
ellauri499.html on line 187: Was Baal a relatively good guy until and except for the prophets plus Nehemiah?
ellauri499.html on line 189: No. In the Bible, “Baal” isn’t portrayed as a “good guy” who’s only problematic in a narrow exception—it’s presented as a false god (i.e., something Israelites are warned not to worship). The “prophets of Baal” in the Elijah story are shown as wrong/misled competitors to Yahweh, and the whole confrontation is framed to discredit Baal. As for Nehemiah (the biblical figure) is not a known part of a “Baal vs. Yahweh prophets” story in the way Elijah is—Nehemiah’s work is mainly about rebuilding/leading after the Babylonian exile and religious reforms, not debating Baal as a supernatural rival.
ellauri499.html on line 203: Nehemiah angle If you’re connecting this to Nehemiah specifically, Nehemiah is associated more with restoration-era governance and covenant identity than with writing “Baal vs. Yahweh” story-theology. The strongest Baal polemics tend to cluster in other traditions (often prophetic/Deuteronomistic streams), even if later editorial activity may have shaped their final forms.
xxx/ellauri183.html on line 497: Uudessa testamentissa on jumalaniskemän lisäxi kaksi muutakin Ananiasta: ylimmäinen pappi Ananias ja sokko Ananias, jolla oli osaltaan vaikutus Paavalin kääntymykseen Jeesuksen seuraajaksi, muttei ketään jonka vaimo on Sua. Sua kohti herrani, sua kohti ain. Tarkoititko sinua? Ananiaan niminen kaupunki on VT:ssä (Nehemiah 11:32) whose name means "protected by God." Or perhaps the meaning of the name Ananiah is: The cloud of the Lord. It is probably the modern Beit Hanina, a small village 3 miles north of Jerusalem.
