Day 354 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

In Ezra 6, King Darius of Persia confirms a decree made by King Cyrus, allowing the Jews to rebuild their temple in Jerusalem. The temple is completed and dedicated with joyous celebrations. In Ezra 7:1-10, Ezra, a skilled teacher of God's laws, is granted permission by King Artaxerxes of Persia to go to Jerusalem. Ezra is happy because God's hand is guiding him to teach the people His laws. In Revelation 12, a vision shows a woman representing God's people, giving birth to a child who is taken to God's throne, while a dragon representing evil tries to attack them. The dragon is defeated and thrown to earth, where it continues to oppose the people of God. Revelation 13:1 introduces a beast, representing powerful and oppressive rulers, rising from the sea, empowered by the dragon, and opposing God and His people.

Day 353 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

In Ezra 4:6-24, the story tells about how some people who were against the Israelites rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem wrote letters to various kings, including King Artaxerxes, to stop the construction. They claimed that rebuilding Jerusalem and its Temple would lead to rebellion against the kings. The king believed these claims and ordered the construction to stop, which it did until the reign of King Darius. This passage shows how the Israelites faced opposition and challenges in their efforts to rebuild their city and worship place. In Revelation 11, two witnesses for God are given power to prophesy for 1,260 days. They perform miracles and are eventually killed, but after three and a half days, God brings them back to life and takes them to heaven. Also, the seventh trumpet sounds, leading to loud voices in heaven declaring God's kingdom and celebrating His reign. This chapter symbolizes God's power, the importance of His message, and the eventual triumph of good over evil.

Day 352 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

In Ezra 2:68 to 4:1-5, the Israelites return to Jerusalem from exile. When they arrive, some people donate money to rebuild God's temple. However, when they start rebuilding, neighboring people who don't worship God try to stop them. They even write to the king to try to make the Israelites stop working. This shows that even when trying to do something good, there can be challenges and people who try to interfere.

In Revelation 9:13 to chapter 10, John sees more visions about the end times. He hears an angel blow a trumpet, and this signals scary things like a big army and harmful plagues. Then, another angel appears with a little book. John is told to eat the book, which tastes sweet but makes his stomach bitter. This part of Revelation shows how God's messages can be good but also hard to accept, and it reminds us that God is in control even when scary or tough things happen.

Day 351 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

In Ezra 1-2:1-67, King Cyrus of Persia allows the Jewish people to return to Jerusalem after being exiled in Babylon. He even helps them rebuild the Temple by returning items taken by the Babylonians. Many Jewish families make the journey back, and they're listed by name in these chapters. It's a time of hope and new beginnings for them as they start rebuilding their lives and their place of worship in Jerusalem.

In Revelation 8-9:1-12, it talks about seven angels with seven trumpets, each causing different events when they blow their trumpets. When the first four angels blow their trumpets, various disasters strike the earth, like hail and fire, a burning mountain falling into the sea, and a star falling on rivers. The fifth angel's trumpet causes a star to fall from heaven, opening a bottomless pit. From this pit, locust-like creatures emerge and torment people who do not have God's mark. These chapters in Revelation are about warnings and judgments during the end times.

Day 350 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

In Malachi 2:17 to 4, God talks to His people about how they've been acting wrongly, questioning His justice. He promises to send a messenger to prepare the way for Him. Then, God Himself will come to judge and purify people. The last chapter gives hope: those who respect God will be blessed, but those who do bad things will face judgment. It ends with a promise to send Elijah before a great and terrible day of the Lord, to turn hearts towards each other and God.In Revelation 7, John sees two groups: First, 144,000 people from Israel's tribes are marked to be protected by God. Then, he sees a huge crowd from all over the world standing before God's throne in heaven. They praise God, and it's explained that they went through hard times but now they're with God, who will take care of them forever. It's a vision of hope and God's care for His people through tough times.

Day 349 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

In Malachi 1 and 2:1-16, God is speaking to the people of Israel. He reminds them of His love and warns the priests about not honoring Him properly. He's upset because they offer blemished sacrifices, which disrespects Him. God wants the priests to be sincere and teach His ways truthfully. He also talks about how people should be faithful in their marriages and not be unfair to their wives. This section of the Bible teaches about respecting and honoring God, and being faithful and fair in our relationships.

In Revelation 6, John describes a vision of the opening of the first six seals by Jesus. Each seal reveals something different:

1. The first seal introduces a rider on a white horse, symbolizing conquest.
2. The second seal reveals a rider on a red horse, representing war.
3. The third seal shows a rider on a black horse, symbolizing famine.
4. The fourth seal brings a rider on a pale horse, representing death.
5. The fifth seal reveals the souls of those who were killed for believing in God, asking for justice.
6. The sixth seal causes great natural disasters, like earthquakes and the sun turning black, showing God's power and the coming judgment.

This chapter in the Bible is about God's power and the big changes that will happen in the world at the end of times.

Day 348 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

Esther 9-10 tells about how the Jewish people were saved from a plot to destroy them, thanks to Queen Esther and her cousin Mordecai. The king allowed them to defend themselves against their enemies. The Jewish people celebrated their victory with a holiday called Purim. Mordecai became an important leader, respected for his wisdom and fairness. These chapters remind us how courage and faith can overcome big challenges.Revelation 5 describes a vision where John sees God holding a scroll that no one can open. Then, a Lamb (representing Jesus) who appears as if it had been sacrificed, is able to open the scroll. This shows that Jesus is the only one worthy to reveal God's plans. The chapter highlights Jesus' special role and the respect and honor he receives from everyone in heaven.

Day 347 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

In Esther chapters 6 to 8, King Ahasuerus discovers that Mordecai, Esther's cousin, had once saved his life but was never rewarded. The king honors Mordecai, which makes Haman, the king's advisor who dislikes Mordecai, very upset. Esther bravely reveals to the king that she is Jewish and that Haman has planned to kill all the Jews, including her and Mordecai. The king gets angry at Haman and has him punished. Then, Esther and Mordecai are allowed to write a new decree to protect the Jews. This story shows how bravery and faith can lead to justice and protection.

In Revelation, chapter 4, John, the writer, describes a vision of heaven. He sees God's throne, surrounded by amazing sights and creatures that represent the greatness and holiness of God. There are 24 elders and four living beings that constantly praise God, saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty." This chapter shows the majesty and power of God and sets the stage for the events that will unfold in the rest of Revelation.
