In order to understand chapter 11, you have to know a little of the background. The interior city of Jerusalem had been laying in the rubble of the broken wall for many years and it had become a real slum. Over the years, Jews had slowly migrated to outlying communities to get out of the “bad neighborhood”. But now that the wall was rebuilt, Jerusalem was a different city, but everyone had established their homes in the suburbs. So who was going to live or occupy the city. Was it going to be a beautiful city with a gorgeous wall but no one living there or was a strategy needed for the Jewish people going forward.
