Introduction: \u00a0After an interval of approximately fourteen years, work resumed on the Temple. Immediately, the local representatives of the Persians king demanded to know by whose authority the work was proceeding.\u00a0\u00a0The Jews explained how Cyrus had given a decree for the work and they were in compliance with it. Word was sent to Babylon. The decree of Cyrus was confirmed.

Ezr 5:1\u00a0 Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.\u00a0
Ezr 5:2\u00a0 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.\u00a0 The events here synchronize with Haggai and portions of Zechariah.

They, through their preaching, urged the Jews to get back to rebuilding their Temple. In the interim, they had built comfortable, nice homes; but the Temple remained in a dismal state and only partially started. Weeds no doubt had grown back up on the site. It was a pathetic testimony of unfinished business. See Haggai Chapter 1.

Some claim they don\u2019t have enough time to do needful things.\u00a0 This really is not an excuse.\u00a0 Zig Ziglar said \u201cLack of direction , not lack of time, is the problem. We all have 24 hr days.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We must be disciplined and make the best use of our time.
\u00a0
The record of Zechariah being the son of Iddo when referenced with Zechariah 1:1 describes such. Zechariah was the son of Berechiah and the grandson of Iddo. In any event, these prophets stood and preached it was high time to begin work on the Temple once again.
\u00a0
Zec 1:1\u00a0 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,\u00a0
Zec 1:2\u00a0 The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>
\u00a0
It is noteworthy how the decree to cease and desist by Cambyses (a.k.a. Ahaseurus and Artaxerxes) was specifically directed only at the rebuilding of the city and by assumption, its wall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
