He played a significant role in the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem, as seen in the books of Ezra and Haggai. His leadership helped reestablish the religious practices of the Israelites. The name Jeshua means "The Lord is salvation," which is significant in the context of the restoration of Israel. Joiakim, his son, succeeded him as high priest, continuing the priestly lineage. This generational continuity underscores the importance of maintaining religious and cultural traditions post-exile.<p><b>Joiakim was the father of Eliashib</b><br>Joiakim served as high priest during the time of Nehemiah, a period marked by the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls and the reestablishment of the Jewish community. His tenure is noted for the challenges faced in maintaining religious purity and adherence to the Law. Eliashib, his son, succeeded him and is mentioned in Nehemiah as being involved in the rebuilding efforts. However, Eliashib's later actions, such as his association with Tobiah the Ammonite, highlight the ongoing struggle to maintain faithfulness to God's commands. This reflects the broader theme of the Israelites' struggle with obedience and covenant faithfulness.<p><b>Eliashib was the father of Joiada</b><br>Eliashib's son, Joiada, continued the priestly line, serving during a time when the community faced internal and external pressures. Joiada's role is less documented, but his position as high priest would have been crucial in guiding the people spiritually and maintaining the temple's sanctity. The priestly lineage from Jeshua to Joiada illustrates the continuity of spiritual leadership necessary for the community's stability and faithfulness. This lineage also points to the importance of the priesthood in mediating between God and His people, a role ultimately fulfilled by Jesus Christ as the eternal high priest, as described in the book of Hebrews.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeshua.htm">Jeshua</a></b><br>Jeshua, also known as Joshua, was the high priest who returned with Zerubbabel from the Babylonian exile.
