Join Matt and Tina Wilson in this episode of the Step into Scripture Podcast as they guide you through Days 259 to 265 of the chronological Bible reading plan. This week's readings cover the cryptic final chapters of Daniel, the return of the exiles in the books of Ezra, Haggai, and Zechariah, and the poignant Psalm 137. Matt and Tina dive into the prophetic declarations of Zechariah, contrasting the disappointing rebuilding efforts in Ezra with the hopeful vision of a future inclusive and global kingdom. Highlights include lessons in perseverance, the pitfalls of intermarriage with pagans, and the unfulfilled glory of the new temple. Equip yourself with insights on how to stay faithful in the face of opposition and take encouragement from the prophecy that Jerusalem will one day be a city without walls, with God as its wall of fire. Don't forget to pick up Tina's book, 'Step into Scripture,' and follow along with the reading plan.
