Background: Ezra and Nehemiah are companion books that recorded the Jews' return from Captivity. Their disobedience resulted in the fall of Israel, the northern king dom. and Judah, the southern kingdom. Israel fell in 722 BC to the Assyrians. Jeremiah told Judah that their captivity would last for 70 years. God spoke it, and it was so. After the 70 years, the Lord allowed the conquering Persians to capture Babylonia. A little later. ? 1 Mildred Peppers Sunday School Ltssoi they began to allow the Jews to return home in three waves (538. 458. and 444 BC). The first group returned under the leadership of Zerubbabel. Once home their charge was to rebuild the Temple. Ezra, the priest, led the second group back to Jerusalem. His task was to rekindle their commitment to the Covenant after repentance. The book of Ezra told about their highs and lows and the bur dens of leadership.
