Ezra 1:5
Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem. Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.
God Himself stirred the spirits of the chief fathers of Judah and Benjamin, the priests, the Levites, and all the rest who rose up to go to Jerusalem to build the house of the Lord. Those whose spirits were raised were a remnant of about fifty thousand exiles who returned under the decree of Cyrus to rebuild the temple. They were those who had listened and learned during the years of exile and had returned to allegiance to God.
The returning company was led by Zerubbabel, also called Sheshbazzar, a descendant of David appointed as governor, together with Joshua the high priest and other leaders. Those who did not go up supported the return with silver, gold, goods, animals, and other valuable supplies. Cyrus restored the temple vessels that Nebuchadnezzar had carried to Babylon, and the restored community itself gave freely toward rebuilding the temple.
The return fulfilled God's promise to end the captivity and bring His people back to their land. It gave the scattered Jews another opportunity to leave exile for Jerusalem. God continued to urge and invite those who stayed behind to return and made a way for them to do so. But many did not respond to the decree or to later appeals.
The same divine moving brings a unanimous decision, with one or two exceptions, to arise and build a house of worship at Cooranbong. This is undertaken even with only £100 in hand and no visible way to accomplish the work. The work then advances without the hindrance known in Ezra's time.
