The Israelites prove their devotion to God and His laws by building an altar and keeping the feasts
The temple foundation is laid for the 2nd temple
God warns the people not to despise the small start
The old men weep (probably not tears of joy) after they see the foundation
Discouragement often comes when you are doing God's will

In this episode of the Bible Explained, we dive into the concept of blood and its significance in the Bible:
Animal sacrifices were a temporary solution for sins, but ultimately, a permanent solution was needed
Why is blood needed for forgiveness? 
Jesus' sacrifice provides the permanent solution to salvation
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. When we sin, we sever the ties to life.
Why won't Jesus just save people who don't believe in Him?
Jesus' sacrifice was a one-time event

The Israelites continue to build the temple to God, and the Samaritans are having none of it
Who were the Samaritans?
Jesus's ground-breaking conversation with a Samaritan woman during the peak of distrust between Jews and Samaritans
The Samaritans do everything they can to thwart the plans of rebuilding the temple and Jerusalem
