“So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.” (Neh 6:15) God commissioned Nehemiah to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem that had been torn down nearly 70 years before. The city had been left desolate and unprotected, and God now wanted a wall rebuilt for protection and security. Nehemiah and the people rebuilt the wall, even though their neighboring enemies tried to prevent the work. God’s enemies hate His walls.
