Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Why did Nehemiah petition King Artaxerxes to let him return to Jerusalem? "

...Nehemiah was the governor of Persian Judea for 12 years (Nehemiah 5:14) and the cupbearer to King Artaxerxes. He had such a passion for his people that he devoted his life to rebuilding the walls that the Babylonians had destroyed by fire. Nehemiah went to King Artaxerxes and asked permission to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem. The king granted his request with added protections in place to accomplish this task. The rebuilding was much more significant than mere cosmetics. Nehemiah wanted God's people to have their own area with boundaries and a sense of identity after years of exile. The book of Nehemiah describes the depths of his emotions and his longing to fortify Jerusalem. He was so determined and dedicated that he rebuilt the wall with the men of Israel in just 52 days. “And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem, for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God” (Nehemiah 6:16).
