The people of the world may oppose our church

and temporarily halt the work of the Lord that we are doing, but ...

Although the enemies of Judah and Benjamin succeeded

in temporarily halting the reconstruction of Jerusalem's walls,

the leaders of Judah and Benjamin, Zerubbabel and Jeshua,

began to rebuild the temple of God once again

after hearing the prophetic words of Haggai and Zechariah.

The prophets of God were with them, helping them

(Ezra 5:1-2).

Likewise, the people of the world may oppose our church

and temporarily stop the work of the Lord that we are doing.

However, even in such times, we must listen to the word of God

through His servants, gain strength, and restart the Lord's work with His servants.

This is because the work of the Lord, spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ

to all the people of the world, cannot be stopped.

Until the day the Lord returns, He will have us proclaim

the gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth!
