Ezra 6:13-15 King James Version (KJV)
13 Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
14 And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Ezra 6:13-15 Expanded Bible (EXB)
Completion of the Temple
13 So, Tattenai, the governor of Trans-Euphrates [C provinces west of the Euphrates River], Shethar-Bozenai, and their •fellow workers [colleagues] carried out King Darius’ •order [decree] •quickly and carefully [with all diligence]. 14 The Jewish elders continued to build and •were successful [prospered] because of the •preaching [prophesying] of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah, a •descendant [son; 5:1] of Iddo [C see the biblical books named for them]. They finished building the •Temple [L house] as the God of Israel had commanded and as kings Cyrus [C ruled 559–529 BC, though 539 BC was the first year of his reign over the empire that included Babylon], Darius [C ruled 522–486 BC], and Artaxerxes of Persia [C ruled 485–465 BC] had •ordered [decreed]. 15 The •Temple [L house] was finished on the third day of the month of Adar [C March 12] in the sixth year Darius was king.

13 For them to not follow orders would be a form of treason which could result in death so they acted right away. Do we take such action when God tells us or leads us to do something or do we make excuses?
14 The king gave them permission but the word of God from the prophets encouraged them, we need to look to the word for encouragement and look to the Lord.
15 So the second temple was built this was not as great as Solomon’s temple but this temple would have Christ in it whish made it more special.
