Nehemiah Roles
Secrecy Of Secret Inspection
Nehemiah roles secrecy So I came to Jerusalem, and was there
three days. And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I
any man what my God had put in my heart
to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any
beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.
And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even
before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem,
which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.
Nehemiah roles secrecy Then
I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king’s pool: but
there was no place for the beast
that was under me to pass. Then went I
up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered
by the gate of the valley, and so returned. Nehemiah 2:11-16
Sweetness of stolen things,
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten
in secret is pleasant. But he knoweth not that the dead
are there;
and that her guests
are in the depths of hell. Proverbs 9:17
Idolatry behind closed doors, Upon a lofty
and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer
sacrifice.
Behind the doors also and the
posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to
another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made
thee a covenant with them;
thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it. Isaiah 57:7-8
Adulterous Sites
The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen
that
which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up
upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the
harlot. Jeremiah 3:6
Daniel’s secrecy,
Hitherto is the end of the matter.
Nehemiah roles secrecy As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my
countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart. Daniel 7:28
Whispers to be proclaimed,
What I tell you in darkness, that
speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that
preach ye upon the housetops.
Matthew
10:27Jesus requested secrecy,
Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man
that he was Jesus the Christ. Matthew 16:20 And unclean spirits, when they saw
him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. And he
straitly charged them that they should not make him known. Mark 3:11-12 And he
charged them that they should tell no man of him. Mark 8:30 And they departed
thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know
it. Mark 9:30
Jesus could not keep His
presence secret, And from thence he arose, and
went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would
have no man know it: but he could not be hid. Mark 7:24 Revealing thoughts of
the heart, And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold,
this child is set for the
fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken
against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) Nehemiah roles
secrecy that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. Luke 2:34-35
Secret betrayal by Judas,
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the
twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains,
how he might betray him unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give
him money.
And he
promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the
multitude. Luke 22:3-6
Jesus withdrew from
public activity, Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews;
but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called
Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. John 11:54
Secret motives brought to light, Therefore judge nothing before the
time, until the Lord come, Nehemiah roles secrecy who both will bring to light
the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the
hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. 1 Corinthians 4:5

Corruption of the Priesthood
A son honors his
father, and servants their master. If then I am a father, where is the honor due
me? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me? says the
Lord of hosts to you, O priests,
who despise my name. You say, “How have we despised your name?”
By offering polluted food
on my altar. And you say, “How have we polluted it?”
Nehemiah roles secrecy
By thinking that the Lord’s table
may be despised.
When
you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not wrong? And when you offer
those that are lame or sick, is that not wrong? Try presenting that to your
governor; will he be pleased with you or show you favor? says the
Lord of hosts. And now implore
the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. The fault is yours. Will he
show favor to any of you? says the Lord
of hosts. Oh,
that someone among you would shut the templec
doors, so that you would not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure
in you, says the Lord of hosts,
and I will not accept an offering from your hands. Nehemiah roles secrecy
For from the rising
of the sun to its setting my name is great among the nations, and in every place
incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering; for my name is great among
the nations, says the Lord of
hosts. Nehemiah roles secrecy But
you profane it when you say that the Lord’s table is polluted, and the food for
it may be despised.
“What a weariness this is,”
you say, and you sniff at me,
says the Lord of hosts. You bring
what has been taken by violence or is lame or sick, and this you bring as your
offering! Shall I accept that from your hand? says the
Lord. Nehemiah roles secrecy Cursed be the cheat who
has a male in the flock and vows to give it, and yet sacrifices to the Lord what
is blemished; for I am a great King, says the
Lord of hosts, and my name is
reverenced among the nations. Malachi 1:6-14
And now,
O priests, this command is for you.
If you
will not listen, if you will not lay it to heart to give glory
to my name, says the
Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse on you and I
will curse your blessings; indeed I have already cursed them,a
because you do not lay it to heart.
I will
rebuke your offspring, and spread dung on your faces, the dung
of your offerings, and I will put you out of my presence.
Know, then, that I have sent
this command to you,
that my covenant
with Levi may hold, says the
Lord of hosts.
My
covenant with him was a covenant of life and well-being,
which I gave him; this called for reverence, and he revered me
and stood in awe of my name. Nehemiah roles secrecy True instruction was in his
mouth, and no wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me in
integrity and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity.
For the lips
of a priest should guard knowledge, and people should seek
instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of the
Lord of hosts.
Nehemiah roles secrecy But you have turned aside from
the way; you have caused many to stumble by your instruction;
you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the
Lord of hosts,
and so I make you despised and abased
before all the people, inasmuch as you have not kept my ways but
have shown partiality in your instruction. Malachi 2:1-9
