History of Ezra, Esther, and Nehemiah
Modern Bibles Are All Mixed-Up All bibles have the order wrong in how they are presented. I am starting a series of teaching’s on the books of Esther, Nehemiah, and Ezra and the first thing the bible student needs to know these books have been placed in the wrong location. They are before Job and Psalms but it took place Much later than that. David reigned from about 1000 BC to 960 BC. Esther was queen from about 492 BC- 462 BC Someone told me that Job takes place around the middle to the end of Genesis. I have no idea if it’s true or not. Esther for instance takes place near the end of the book of Daniel. Ezra records the first return from the captivity. Some forty years later Esther came on the scene, and some forty years after that Nehemiah came on the scene. So the book of Esther fits about halfway between the rebuilding of the temple (the decree given by Cyrus) and the rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem (the decree given by Artaxerxes to Nehemiah).
