I had a couple interruptions while reading this passage, so the total clock time was 2 hours, but I only spent about 20 minutes reading.
Today’s reading was all about persevering as well. Whereas 1-4 ended with the withering of Israel’s resolve to rebuild the temple, 5-7 shows God raising up people who will challenge the order to halt construction, the work progressing, and the enemies of Israel being forced to pay for the re-construction of the Temple; an order given by two different kings. That is very encouraging when God moves heathens to fulfill His plan; an act of providence that we still see played out in modern times.
