Hey folks, it's Norm MacDonald here with a summary of Ezra 1. So, King Cyrus of Persia issues a proclamation that anyone who wants to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the city and the temple can do so. So, naturally, a bunch of Jews take him up on his offer and head back to Jerusalem. Meanwhile, Cyrus gives them a bunch of gold and silver, and all the vessels of the temple, so they can rebuild the temple and all that jazz. So, they get to work and they rebuild the temple, and they celebrate and offer sacrifices and all that fun stuff. So, in the end, the Jews are all happy, and King Cyrus looks like a hero. That's the end of Ezra 1. Tune in next time for more biblical fun with Norm MacDonald.
