I CAN`T IMAGINE a journey of a thousand miles beginning with a thousand-mile step. When you say a single step, it is a very small beginning compared to the length of a journey that Lao Tzu is trying to tell or impress in this quotation.

Ezra and Nehemiah

he book of Ezra contains the fulfillment of the prophecy of Jeremiah when he came back to Jerusalem and Judah from the captivity by the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar.

It is believed that Ezra wrote his book in Jerusalem in 460 BC, while the book of Nehemiah was narrated twice in the comeback of Nehemiah to Jerusalem from Judah in the reign of Artaxerxes.

In his first comeback he rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem and made new things for the society and religion.

One of the admirable parts in the life of Nehemiah was his full trust in God and the frequent prayers to him.

It is believed that Nehemiah wrote his book in Jerusalem in 443 BC.
