Consider a time when a few chosen Jews were sent from Persia to participate in the “God ordered” great work of rebuilding His temple. It had laid in ruins 70 years while Persia had held them in prophesied captivity. But now God, providing for what He orders; opened a great but effectual door. It gave ordered opportunity for those chosen to go work out their own portion to accomplish exploits of His great work. Yet, they did face great opposition from the mixed population the enemy permitted to occupy Judah’s Jerusalem in the interim of captivity. The Jewish historian Josephus signified these opposers were of the same ilk David saw come in having gathered themselves together; to come “help” him as he hid in the wilderness fearing Saul. They were in fear too as those in distress, in debt; so discontented. 1 Samuel 22:2
