Interestingly, outside of the Hiramic

Haggai regarding the rebuilding of the temple. For example, Haggai opens up by saying that the Lord first spoke to Haggai on the first day of the sixth month of the rule of Darius. The messages from the Lord to Haggai were directed to the governor, Zerubbabel, the high priest, Joshua,a and sometimes to all the people of Judah. These messages usually focus on the apathy of the people to rebuild the temple of the Lord. The people of God during The Book of Haggai are avoiding rebuilding the temple in

Haggai The book of Haggai is dated back to the second year of king Darius' reign. The book covers a two year span which is noted as important due to the bible rarely spending so much attention in that small of a time period.

There are multiple theories about who wrote the book or if the man the book was named

His third message largely addresses the principles of being unclean. Haggai's final message speaks to Zerubbabel of the eventual defeat of the Gentile kingdoms that have opposed Israel for so long.

It begins with a call to repentance, then later describes eight separate visions Zechariah has in the same

However, I believe that Jews were meticulous recorders, especially for genealogy. It is inconceivable that Matthew and Luke created two entirely contradictory genealogies of the same lineage. Again, from David to Jesus, these genealogies are completely different, even Shealtiel and Zerubbabel might also refer to other people with the same names

The temple of Jerusalem or the temple built by King Solomon. The establishing is in accordance with the Divine Eternal Covenant between David and Yahweh. David wanted to build God a permanent house of worships, where there could be centralized worship for the people of Israel. Through this covenant with God, God would build David a family dynasty (House) and David’s son, King Solomon would build the house of worship for God. According to the ABD, Nothing has survived to the present day of the temple

Some tension came from the Persia giving authority to Zerubbabel (descendant of Jehoiachin) as civil governor and Joshua (descendant of Zakok) as high priest which we see in Haggai 1:1; 2:2. Supported by Chronicles and in Ezra 3-6 describes the rebuilding of the Temple under these 2 leaders.

The book of Haggai’s and Zechariah’s message was to the reconstruction of the temple of God that was destroyed by the Babylonians. Haggai was solely commissioned to get the Temple rebuilt where Zechariah was of repentance through the preceding eight visions.
