Ezra 3:9
Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites. Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
At the close of the seventy years' captivity, about two years after Babylon fell, the decree of Cyrus king of Medo-Persia providentially opened the way for the exiles to return. Nearly fifty thousand of the children of the captivity returned to Canaan, and these were only a mere remnant of all the Israelites scattered throughout the provinces of Medo-Persia, since many chose to remain in the land of their captivity rather than accompany their brethren.
Those who returned came under the leadership of Zerubbabel the governor of Judea and Jeshua the high priest, also called Joshua, who stood closely together as true leaders of the remnant. Together they led in re-establishing the ancient worship at Jerusalem and in setting forward the workmen in the house of God to restore the temple services, with Zerubbabel laying the cornerstone of the temple in the second year of Cyrus. After the work was hindered, they rose up with renewed courage in response to the Lord's messages through Haggai and Zechariah and began again to build the house of God at Jerusalem, and their cheerful willingness in carrying out the Lord's commands largely influenced the spirit of all the remnant of the people.
The account of rebuilding the house of God serves as an example for building a house of worship in Cooranbong, applied to proceeding with the work despite limited funds and initial doubts about whether it could be completed.
