Rebuild
summary
After the wall is completed, Jerusalem still lacks people. Leaders live there, but most prefer the towns and villages. One-tenth of the people are chosen to relocate, and some willingly volunteer. This moment reveals that God’s work doesn’t move forward by structures alone—it requires people who are willing to step into less comfortable places for the sake of God’s purposes.
