You want nehimiah to just ask for wood. But he never didYou want Daniel 9:25 to say, "From the going forth of Nehemiah's wish list..." but it never will.
Lol.. Yet. Years later. The city still laid destroyed and in ruins. Which prompted Nehemiah to ask permission to go rebuild the city. Which if the command was given years earlier. it would have already happened at least it would have begun and at the most Nehemiah would have ask for a leave of absence to go help rebuild but that did not happen.That "yes" wasn't a "command to rebuild the city" - it was "permission" for a leave of absence.
I'll Cashapp you $1,000 dollars if you can find in Nehemiah where the king says "I command for Jerusalem to be rebuilt".
The command was for supplies, not the construction.
You want so badly for a command that merely subsidizes timber for construction be a command for the construction...never gonna happen. Ezra had already thanked God for "a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem" after the decree in Ezra 7, per Ezra 9:9.
WRONG AGAIN!
Education occurred throughout the land, eg. "the Schools of the Prophets".
Priests didn't put anyone to death - they handed them over to the secular authorities for that.
The king also participated in judgments of the people, often at the gates of the city, NOT IN THE TEMPLE.
Except that Ezra thanked God for "a wall" after the Ezra 7 decree, right? The command was IMPLIED by the details of the rebuilding of the city infrastructure.
You’re making me laugh now my friend. Much like you do wiht a lot of your doctrines.
Good luck
