The Enemy’s Messaging and Assassination Plot

Chapter 6 Nehemiah finished the wall and was setting the gates to finalize the project. Sanballat and Geshem sent messages four times requesting a meeting with Nehemiah out and away from the wall. But they were planning to harm Nehemiah.

The fifth request came in a letter filled with lies that the Jews were planning to rebel and had appointed Nehemiah as their king…sound familiar to what we are hearing through the media today about Conservative Christians and President Trump?

Nehemiah 6:8-9 Nehemiah’s response “Then I sent a message saying, “ Such things you are saying have not been done, but you are inventing them in your own mind. “For all of them were trying to frighten us, thinking, “They will become discouraged with the work and it will not be done. But now O GOD, strengthen my hands.”

Yet another planned assassination attempt: Shemaiah: “Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple…for they are coming to kill you, and they are coming to kill you at night. But I said, “Should a man like me flee” And could one such as I go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.”
Then I perceived that surely God HAD NOT sent him, but he uttered his prophesy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him
