Ezra 4:22
"Make a decree now to cause these men to cease, and that this city not be built until a decree is made by me."
Key Reflection
This command from King Artaxerxes emphasizes the authority of royal decrees in halting projects deemed inappropriate or against his will. It underscores how divine purposes, even when manifested through human rulers, can temporarily suspend earthly endeavors until God’s ultimate plan is fulfilled.
