THE ACTIVITY OF GOD IN THE BIBLE - EZRA & NEHEMIAH & ESTHER

The Activity of God

Going through the Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, phrase by phrase and word by word to give attention to the following:
--the Names of God;
--the word & deeds of God;
--the sayings of God;
--the attributes of God;

Too often the churches weakness and the Christians weakness is found in this one sin, 'we do not know God'.  We have not studied the Bible, nor Him to learn more of Him.  Seeking that this might be a help for myself and others in this pursuit that each of us 'may grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord.'


EZRA
Chapter 1
1:1      Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,     And God said/spoke;    God's man proclaimed God's way;    God stirred up Cyrus to build the temple;   God fulfilles His Word;

NEHEMIAH

Chapter 1
1:4      I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven     God hears and sees those of broken and contrite prayers before Him;   God of heaven and earth;
1:5     And said, I beseech Thee, O Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love Him and observe His commandments.     God hears the prayers of those that cry out to Him;   God of heaven;   God is great and terrible;   God keeps covenant;  God keeps mercy for those that love Him;    God knows those that love Him and observe His commands;
1:6      Let thine ear now be attentive, and Thine eyes open, that Thou mayest hear the prayer of Thy servant, which I pray before Thee now, day and night for the children of Israel Thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against Thee      God's ears to hear;  God's eyes to see the soul that comes before Him with prayer; God knows those that come rightly before Him;   God's servants,   God knows those that have sinned against Him;
1:7     We have dalt very corruptly against Thee . . whihc Thou commandedst Thy servant Moses     God knows those that have dealt corruptly before Him;  the Lord commanded;   God's servant Moses;
1:8     Remember, I beseech Thee, the word that Thou commandedst Thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress I will scatter you abroad among the nations:    God remembers His Word and promsies and commands;   the Lord commanded;   God's servant Moses;   I will's of God to scatter them abroad for their sin;
1:9     but if ye turn unto Me, and keep My commandments, and do them; . . . yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set My Name there.    God knows those that turn to Him rightly;   God knows and sees those that keep and do His commands;   I will's of God to gather and bring them again to Jerusalem;   God chose that place to set His Name there;   God's Name;
1:10      Now these are Thy servant and Thy people, whom Thou hast redeemed by Thy great power, and by Thy strong hand.     God's servants;   God's people;   God redeems;   God has great power;   God's strong hand;
1:11     O Lord, I beseech Thee, let now Thine ear be attentive to the prayer of Thy servant, and to the prayer of Thy servants, who desire to fear Thy Name and porsper, I pray Thee , Thy servants this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.       God hears and sees those that come before Him;   God's ear attentive to right prayers;    God's servant;   God and His great Name to be feared;   God grants mercy in sight of men for his glory;
Chapter 2
2:4      so I prayed to the God of heaven     God hears the prayers offered unto Him by His children;   God of heaven and earth;
2:8     according to the good hand of my God upon me    God's hand upon His servants for good;
2:12     neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem     God puts upon his heart;

2:20     The God of heaven, He will prosper us    I will's of God to prosper them in this work;   God of heaven;
Chapter 3
3:5     but their nobles put not their necks to the work of their Lord    God sees and knows that will not do the work;
Chapter 4
4:4     Hear, O our God, for we are despised:  and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity.    God hears and sees the plight that His people pray before Him over; 
4:5     And cover not their iniqutiy, and let not their sin be blotted out from before Thee:  for they have provoked Thee to anger before the builders.    God is able to cover and blot out sins or not;  God sees and knows that which is done before Him;   God is provoked to anger;
4:9      Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God    God hears and sees those that pray unto Him;

Chapter 5
5:9     ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?      the fear of the Lord;   God is to be feared;
5:13     So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even this be he shaken out, and emptied.  And all the congregation said, Amen, and priased the Lord         God is able to shake out any that will not keep their oath; God is to be praised and worthy of it;
5:15     because of the fear of God    the fear of the Lord;   God is to be feared;
5:19     Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.     God hears and sees the prayers and works of His servants;  God knows what he had done for Israel;
Chapter 6
6:9     Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.     God is able to strengthen the hands of His servants;
6:10     let us meet together in the house of God    God's house;
6:12    I perceived that God had not sent him    God did not send this man for prophecy; God is able to send to warn and deliver though;
6:14     My God, think Thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their work and on the prophetess and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear     God sees and knows those that come against His children;  God knows the false prophets and those that seek to harm and hinder His children;
6:16     for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God     God does these things for His glory;
Chapter 7
7:2      and feared God above many    the fear of the Lord;  God is to be feared:
7:5      My God put into mine heart to gather together  the nobels, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy     God puts within his heart to number the people by registry;
Chapter 8
8:1    bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded to Israel    the Lord commanded;  God's Word to be read and taught of the law;
8:6     And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God.   And all the people answered, Amen, Amen; with lifting up their hands:  and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground.    God is to be blest by His people;   God is great;   God is to be worshipped with bowing prostrate/humble before Him; 
8:8     so they read in the book in the law of God distinctly       God's law to be read and taught to God's people;
8:9     This day is holy unto the Lord your God     God sets a day that is holy;  God is holy;
8:10    this day is holy unto our Lord:  neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength    God sets a day that is holy;  God is holy;   God's joy is strength;
8:14     they found written in the law which the Lord had commanded by Moses    the Lord commanded;
8:16    and in the courts of the house of God     God's house;
8:18    they read in the book of the law of God     God's law written in a book and read;
Chapter 9
9:3     read in the book of the law of the Lord their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the Lord their God.     God's law written in the book and read before the people;   God is worshipped;
9:4     cried with a loud voice unto the Lord their God    God hears and sees those that cry unto Him;
9:5    Stand up and bless the Lord yoru God for ever and ever and blessed be Thy glorious Name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise     God is blessings  and to be blest for ever and evwer;   God's Name is glorious and blessed;   God Name is exalted with blessing and praise;
9:6     Thou, even Thou, art Lord alone; Thou hast made heaven the heaven of heavens with all their host, the eart and all things that are therein, the seas and all that is therein and Thou preservest them all and the host of heaven worshippeth Thee    God is God alone;  God made heavens, earth and seas and all that is therein;   God preserves everything;  God is worshpped by host of heaven;
9:7    Thou art the Lord the God Who didst choose Abram and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham    God did chose Abram ;   God brought him forth out of Ur;  God gave him name of Abraham;
9:8     And foundest his heart faithful before Thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land . . . to give it, I say, to his seed and hast performed Thy words; for Thou art righteous.    God finds men's heart whether they be faithful or not;   God made a covenant with him;  God gives the land to him and his seed;   God performs His Word;   God is righteous; 
9:9     And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt and heardest their cry by the Red sea;    God sees the affliction of His people;  God hears their cries; 
9:10     And showedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh. . . for Thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them.  So didst Thou get Thee a Name, as it is this day.      God shows signs and wonders upon Egypt;   God knows the pride of men's heart against His people;   God's Name above all Names;
9:11     And Thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors Thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.    God divided the sea before Israel;  God made the sea dry land for them to cross;   God threw their persecutors into the sea;
9:12     Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go     God led by cloudy pillar by night and day;  God gave them light to know the way where to go;
9:13     Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven and gavest them right judgemetns, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:    God came down upon Mt. Sinai;  God spake unto them from heaven ;   God gave them His judgements, law, statutes and commands;
9:14     And madest known unto them Thy holy sabbath and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant      God made know to them His holy sabbath;   God commanded them preceps, statutes and laws;   God's servant Moses;
9:15     And gavest them bread from heven for their hunger and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to posses the land which Thou hadst sworn to give them    God gave them bread from heaven;  God brought forth water out of the rock;   God promised them;   God give them the land to posses;   God swore it;
9:16     and hearkened not to Thy commandments      God knows those that hear and those tha twil lnot listen to His commands;   God's commandments;
9:17     And refused to obey, neither were mindful of Thy wonders that Thou didst among them, . . .but Thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness and forsookest them not.     God knows and sees those that refuse to obey Him;   God knows those that are not mindful of His wonders;   God is God;  God pardons; gracious and merciful, slow to anger and great kindness;   God does not forsake;
9:19     Yet Thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness, the pillar of the cloud departed not forth from them by day to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light and the way wherein they should go.    God's mercies not to forsake them;   God's pillar led them in the way day and night; 
9:20     Thou gavest also Thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not Thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.    God gave His Spirit to instruct them;   God gave them food and gave them water;
9:21     yea, forty years didst Thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing;  their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.    God sustained them for 40 years;   God made sure they lacked nothing;   God made their clothes to not rot or wax old;  God kept their health that their feet did not swell;
9:22    Moreover Thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide them into corners:  so they possessed the land of Sihon    God gave them the kingdoms and nations;  God did divide them into portions;God allowed them to possess the land;
9:23     and broughtest them into the land, concerning which Thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go into possess it.    God brought them into the promises land;   God promised it to their fathers and God let them possess it;  
9:24     and Thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land     God subdues enemy before His people; 
9:25     and delighted themselves in Thjy great goodness    God's great goodness;
9:26     Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against Thee and cast Thy law behind their backs, and slew Thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to Thee      God sees and knows those that rebel and are disobedient against Him;   God's law they cast away;   God's prophets slew;
9:27     Therefore Thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies . . . when they cried unto Thee, Thou heardest them from heaven and according to Thy manifold mercies Thou gavest them saviours     God delivered them into enemies hands for their disobedience;   God hears the cries of His children;  God in heaven;   God's mercies given; 
9:28     did evil again before Thee:  therefore leftest Thou them in the hand of their enemies, . . yet when they returned, and cried unto Thee, Thou heardest them from heaven and many times didst Thou deliver them according to Thy mercies.     God sees and knows those that do evil before Him;   God left them into hand of enemy;   God hears the cries of them that return in sorrow;   God delivered;  God's mercies;
9:29     And testifiedst against them, that Thou mightest bring them again unto Thy law;. . . and hearkened not unto Thy commandments but sinned against Thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;)        God testified unto them against their rebellion and sin;   God desired to bring them unto Him;   God knows those that refuse to hear and keep His commandments;    God knows those that sin against His judgements;
9:30     Yet many years didst Thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by Thy spirit in Thy prophets: yet would they not give ear, therefore gavest Thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.    God forbears their sins against Him;   God testifies against them;  God's Spirit in God's prophets bears witness;   God gave them into hand of enemy;
9:31     Nevertheless for Thy great mercies' sake Thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for Thou art a gracious and merciful God.     God's great mercy;   God restrains from utterly consuming the wicked;   God does not utterly forsake them;   God is gracious;  God is merciful;
9:32      Now, therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, Who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before Thee, . . . and on all Thy people     God is our God;  God is great;  God is terrible;   God keeps covenant and mercy;   God sees and knows the trouble upon them;God's people;
9:33     Howbeit Thou art jkust in all that is brought upon us; for Thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly.     God is just in all His ways;  God brings them upon them;   God does right;  God sees what they have done in wickedness before Him;
9:34     Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept Thy law, nor hearkened unto Thy commandments and Thy testimonies, wherewith Thou didst testify against them.    God sees and knows those that do not keep His laws;   God knows those that will not hear His commandments and testimonies;   God testified against them;
9:35     For they have not served Thee in their kingdom, and in Thy great goodness that Thou gavest them, and int he large and fat land which Thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.       God knows those that serve Him or not;   God's great goodness;   God gave them the land before them; 
9:36     and for the land that Thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it;   God gave the land unto their fathers;   God made them to be servants in it for their folly;
9:37     unto the kings whom Thou hast set over us because of our sins     God set the kings of other nations over them for their great sin;
