Notes on the Book of Ezra
Overview
The book of Ezra concerns a special work of God, because it describes the Israelites’ movement from idolatry and exile into a home of faith in God. In this volume, Ironside shows how the story in Ezra describes not only Israelite history, but embodies the story of the church in every age—the transition from bondage to freedom, from decay to life, from exile to a home in God.

“Yet the flesh hates to be accounted unfit to take part in what is of God. Natural men, however little place they have for the truth in their souls, resent being given the place the truth puts them in.” (Page 41)
“People are often stumbled as to the relations of prayer and the purpose of God. If God has counseled, shall He not bring it to pass, whether we pray or not? The answer is that prayer is a part of God’s purpose. He has willed to act when His people pray; and one of the first evidences that He is about to perform a certain thing is that the spirit of prayer and supplication is poured out upon His people in regard to that particular work.” (Pages 12–13)
“In Daniel’s case, ‘he understood by books’ that the seventy years of affliction were very nearly run” (Page 11)
“and so He will remain till He returns to Jerusalem to establish His throne again as ‘the Lord of the whole earth.’” (Page 14)
“‘Where two or three are gathered together unto My name, there am I in the midst.’” (Page 14)

After a serving as a Salvation Army officer for a brief period, Ironside joined the Plymouth Brethren and started what would become a highly successful itinerant ministry of preaching and teaching.
