In just 38 verses across two short chapters, thisminor prophet — the second smallest book in the Old Testament — confronts aremnant who returned from exile to rebuild the temple, then stopped. Sixteenyears had passed. Opposition rose from outside; preoccupation grew fromwithin. Their own paneled houses were tended to; God's house remained a ruin.God raised up Haggai to ask one searching question, repeated five times:"Give careful thought to your ways." Across three sessions we walk the wholebook — the historical setting, the call to rebuild, the assurance of "I amwith you," the comparing of past glory to present, the warning againstdefilement, and the closing word about Zerubbabel as God's signet ring.May we be a people who build our temples for his glory.▸ Start with Week 1 for the introduction▸ Subscribe so you don't miss new studies▸ Share with a friend who would be encouraged----------00:00 Pre- and post-exile prophets00:24 Haggai's mission to the exiles02:55 The end of exile05:13 The remnant returns06:48 Haggai stirs the people back to work08:13 The authority of God's Word09:18 Closing prayer----------#BookOfHaggai #BibleStudy #BethStudies #MinorProphets #RebuildingTheTemple
