"The Return Home"

 

In chapter 19 of The Story we find that the exiles have been allowed to return home from Babylon to Jerusalem with the instructions that they are to rebuild the temple.  This is a moment they have been waiting for!  Not only are they receiving their freedom after 70 years in captivity but they are being invited/instructed to rebuild the central place of worship for their community of faith.
