Nehemiah 8
4 So Ezra the scribe stood on a platform of wood which they had made for the purpose; and beside him, at his right hand, stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Urijah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah; and at his left hand Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up. 6 And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God.
Then all the people answered, “Amen, Amen!” while lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.
"God has spoken, so let the church say Amen", (Andrae Crouch, Let the Church say Amen)
Do we revere YahWeh today as the people did in Nehemiah's day? I'd venture to say no. The distance between mankind and it's Creator has grown exponentially every generation, every decade. We have to put an end to this cycle....or doom and disaster will surely befall our kids, grand kids, and so on. It's time to get back to basics...revere God. Learn from the folly of the people in days of the prophets to not replicate their fate in our day. Listen to and obey Jehovah!
