Verse 8, Then I said unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but
thou faintest them out of thine own heart.
He's saying, You're a liar.
I didn't do any of the things you're accusing me of.
In fact, you're just making crap up, is what he's saying.
You're fainting it.
What is fainting?
It's something that's fake.
He's just fainting.
He's just dreaming stuff up.
He's lying about them.
Verse 9, For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work
that it be not done.
Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.
He's saying, Hey, they're trying to terrify us.
They're trying to scare us.
They're trying to intimidate us.
You know what?
It's not going to work.
And we're going to ask God to strengthen us and say, Hit the road, Jack.
And don't come back.
And you know what?
The more you attack us, God is going to rise up and he's going to destroy you.
It's ridiculous.
These losers who constantly think that they're going to attack God's people and get away
with it.
I mean, are you an atheist?
You not realize that God exists?
You not fear the God of the universe?
You not fear the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings?
The Bible says verily there's a God that judges in the earth.
How can these people so brazenly attack soul winning, attack the word of God, attack
God's people, trying to afflict them, stealing the Lord's money?
You better know that God will not look kindly on you.
That God will rise up.
That God will defend and judge those wicked people.
Now what happens is they realize this.
Look at verse 14.
My God, think thou upon to buy and sin bound according to these there were.
And on the prophetess Noah-diah and the rest of the prophets that would have put
me in fear.
So he's calling out all these losers, you know, that are basically trying to attack
them.
So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul in fifty and
two days.
Now that's pretty cool because it's like they're building the wall and they're trying
to constantly afflict them.
They get it done in fifty-two days.
They're just like, you guys suck.
Look we just accomplished everything that we wanted to do exactly how we wanted to do
it.
We just built the wall buddy.
Then he says this, and it came to pass that when all our enemies heard thereof and
all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their
own eyes for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
You know what?
They constantly lose and lose and lose and fail and fail and fail and all of the things
that they tried to dream up against you come upon them.
They're going to start realizing, wow, God's on their side, wow, we screwed up, wow,
we shouldn't have done that.
