Building the walls of Jerusalem
Nehemiah:4:1: But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
Nehemiah:4:2: And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
Nehemiah:4:3: Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.
Nehemiah:4:4: Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:
Nehemiah:4:5: And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
Nehemiah:4:6: So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
Nehemiah:4:7: But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
Nehemiah:4:8: And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
Nehemiah:4:9: Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
Nehemiah:4:10: And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
Nehemiah:4:11: And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
Nehemiah:4:12: And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.
Nehemiah:4:13: Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
Nehemiah:4:14: And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
Nehemiah:4:15: And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
Nehemiah:4:16: And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
Nehemiah:4:17: They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
Nehemiah:4:18: For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
Nehemiah:4:19: And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
Nehemiah:4:20: In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.
Nehemiah:4:21: So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
Nehemiah:4:22: Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.
Nehemiah:4:23: So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.
Nehemiah:4:1: But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
Nehemiah:4:2: And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?

Nehemiah:4:5: And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
Nehemiah:4:6: So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.

Genesis:3:13: And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Genesis:3:14: And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
Genesis:3:15: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Revelation:17:4: And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Revelation:17:5: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
- In the beginning when God created the world and man (Adam) and woman (Eve). Eve was deceived by the Serpent (Satan or Devil ). God cursed the Serpent that he will put enemity between the Woman and the Serpent (The Devil).
- The curse still stands today . The major cause of the fall of the Babylonian Empire will be woman themselves or the spirit of woman.
- The reason if we apply human understanding (There could be other reasons) is quite clear. Anything which breaches the limit of humanity and does what is unjust and wrong will one day inevitably cross yet another limit known as the sexual limit and will bring itself at odds with almost half the humanity.
- The reasons for crossing the sexual limit can be given as under
- Greed :-Sex can be a major form of making money and sales.
- Pleasure :- to fulfill it's own lust.
- Control :- Sexual Pleasure can be a major way of controlling people.
- Greed :-Sex can be a major form of making money and sales.
- Due to this very reason Babylon is called mother of Harlots (Prostitutes). It will bring nations into harlotry (prostitution).
- The major example of harlotry can be seen in the western civilization where pleasure of sex is rampant. Such societies are bound to collapse at one time or other until they turn to God.
- It is amazing how creation was made in the first place to fulfill the objectives of God.
