Ezra became a mouthpiece for God, educating those about him in the principles that govern heaven. During the remaining years of his life, whether near the court of the king of Medo-Persia or at Jerusalem, his principal work was that of a teacher. As he communicated to others the truths he learned, his capacity for labor increased. He became a man of piety and zeal. He was the Lord's witness to the world of power of Bible truth to ennoble the daily life.

Ezra blev Guds talerør og oplærte sine medarbejdere i de principper, som danner grundlaget for Himmelens regering. Resten af sit liv var han hovedsagelig lærer, og han øvede sin lærergerning, både når han var ved den medo-persiske konges hof, og når han var i Jerusalem. Hans arbejdsevne voksede, efterhånden som han underviste andre i de sandheder, som han tilegnede sig. Han blev en gudfrygtig og nidkær mand, og Herren benyttede ham for at vise verden, hvorledes Bibelens sandhed kan forædle dagliglivet.
