Ezra 10 BOILING WITH INDIGNATION.
Ezra prayed, wept, confessed and was in an ecstasy of rage. He resented what was happening like a new broom in an old mess. Boiling with indignation he threw himself on the ground and a group came and wept with him. Shecaniah suggested the following plan: Make a covenant with God and then divorce the heathen women. He encourages Ezra to take courage and that all is not lost. So Ezra stood up and made them swear with a solemn oath that they would keep the law of God. A proclamation was issued for all exiles to come to Jerusalem. Three days later on the 19th. Of December sitting or standing in a soaking rain they confessed their sins and promised to separate themselves from the pagan women. However, this required some time for the judicial system to hear the cases and issue judgment. The plan was followed and beginning on December 29th. Court was in session and concluded by March 27th. Priests were named—gatekeepers were named—everyone guilty had his name published. Without an Ezra the nation would have repeated their sinful excesses. Pray that God will send us an Ezra!
