Book Description: El libro de Esdras comienza donde termina 2 Crónicas. Según lo profetizado por Isaías, el rey Ciro de Persia envió a los exiliados, dirigidos por Zorobabel, de regreso a Jerusalén en 538 b.c. . A pesar de la oposición de los habitantes no judíos de Judea, y luego de que los profetas, Hageo y Zacarías los alentaron, el templo fue reconstruido en 515. Luego, en 458, Ezra lideró la segunda de las tres oleadas de exiliados que regresaban. Cuando Esdras llegó, la gente había caído nuevamente en pecado. Esdras predicó la Palabra de Dios y la gente se arrepintió. Esdras tuvo éxito porque la mano de Dios estaba sobre él. Este libro, tal vez escrito por el mismo Esdras, muestra el poder de Dios y la fidelidad de Su pacto, ablandando incluso el corazón de reyes paganos para lograr Sus propósitos redentores.
English Translation:
The book of Ezra begins where 2 Chronicles ends. As prophesied by Isaiah, King Cyrus of Persia sent the exiles, led by Zerubbabel, back to Jerusalem in 538 b.c. . Despite the opposition of the non-Jewish inhabitants of Judea, and after the prophets, Haggai and Zechariah encouraged them, the temple was rebuilt in 515. Then, in 458, Ezra led the second of the three waves of returning exiles . When Ezra arrived, the people had fallen back into sin. Ezra preached the Word of God and the people repented. Ezra was successful because the hand of God was upon him. This book, perhaps written by Ezra himself, shows the power of God and the faithfulness of His covenant, softening even the hearts of pagan kings to achieve His redemptive purposes. - Summary by Claudia R Barrett
