Nehemiah - Chapter 2

Nehemiah is serving as a cupbearer to the King of Persia.  This was a very high royal position.

In the Case for Christ study Bible the following link between Nehemiah 2 and Jesus s made:

"Because Nehemiah left his royal standing to protect the Jewish people, some Bible commentators believe Nehemiah is an Old Testament type (a foreshadowing or picture) of Jesus. Likewise, Jesus left his royal position in heaven to come to Earth  to bring salvation and security to all people. Nehemiah’s mission released the nation from its fear of the enemies surrounding them and allowed them to focus on worshiping God and living lives pleasing to him. Jesus’ mission also freed people from fear—fear of Satan and his power over death and fear of God’s judgment due to sin—and gave them the freedom to worship God."
