Well, continuing with the daily challenge of the community, I want to give special thanks to @sirknight and the community of @steemchurch for the beautiful creation of this #celestialchallenge

Jerusalem; its walls destroyed by the savage armies of Babylon left Jerusalem in ruins. His people fought valiantly, but they were too few to defend themselves. Those who survived were imprisoned and forced to leave Jerusalem.

For many years the Jews were slaves in Babylon, forced to work hard. Being liberated by the Persian armies, allowing them to return to Jerusalem.

Nehemias wise man, guided by God, he proposed to rebuild the walls of the temple this time stronger, without them the citizens of Jerusalem were unprotected. Nehemiah summons the people and motivates them to work by letting them know that they had God's approval.

The work had begun, his enthusiasm spread to the whole town; men, women, young and old, all were integrated and began to rebuild. It was hard work but no one complained, because they were rebuilding their own city and protecting their Temple.

Slowly they managed to put stone on stone, huge stones that allowed them to raise the walls majestically, making them impenetrable.

The enemy troops, knowing of the reconstruction of the wall, decided to demolish the walls again; but the people of Izrael this time organized and led by Nehemiah managed to emerge victorious, thanking God for having saved his people. Stimulated by their victory they were motivated to continue the reconstruction.

Although Izrael's enemies continued to conspire, the people continued to work tirelessly, after 52 days the last stone was finally laid. "The walls of Jerusalem were finished".
