Key Verse
“Every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.”— Nehemiah 4:17
Points to Christ: The Builder
“Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18).
For the Fire Pit
You build with one hand and hold the sword with the other. Anyone who tells you the work is not contested has not done any work.
