Out of the ashes of this devastation, two leaders emerged to restore the foundations of their worship and their city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEzra, the first to return, set out to restore true worship in Jerusalem by reminding the people of God’s teaching, what it meant for them, and how it should shape their lives.
