The Wall
I’m a big Pink Floyd fan. “Dark Side of the Moon” is my favorite album by the group, but I also like a rock opera they created titled “The Wall”. One of the lyrics that repeats throughout the record is; “Just another brick in the wall”. In the opera, the wall is a symbol of isolation. In the book of Nehemiah, it is a symbol of freedom and liberty. This week’s episode of “The Road to Somewhere” takes us to Joplin, Missouri, and the book of Nehemiah. The book is the record of the final piece of the return to Judah of the exiles taken to Babylon after the destruction of Jerusalem. With the permission and commission of Artaxerxes, the King of Persia at the time, Nehemiah builds the Wall. Jerusalem becomes a city once again. If you haven’t seen last week’s videos on Ezra, you might want to watch them before Nehemiah since the two books were originally one and fit together. The links to this episode, and the video on Nehemiah are below.
