Nehemiah 2
The book of Nehemiah covers an important period of biblical history because both the captivity/exile and the return and restoration of the Jewish nation were fulfillments of Old Testament prophecies of Jeremiah, Daniel and Isaiah. They serve as further evidence of the validity of the Bible. Not only that, but as we’ll see today, an event in the life of Nehemiah served as the reference point for the prophecy of Daniel regarding the exact day of arrival of Jesus on Palm Sunday/Triumphal Entry.
