The Book of Haggai
|
The book of Haggai is an
often overlooked, seldom studied book of the Old Testament.
Not only is it part of the "minor prophets" it is the second
shortest book of the Old Testament, next to Obadiah.
Nevertheless, the book
has much to teach us. Set in the same time period of
Zechariah, Haggai encouraged the Babylonian exiles who had returned
home to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple.

The story holds modern
day significance, not just as a history book but as a lesson about
the consequences of disobedience and blessings of obedience.
Chapter 2 contains Messianic promises to remind the people that the
temple was more than just a building but would one day be filled the
the Lord's glory.
This study was
contributed by Paul George, author of the
Zechariah Bible study and several
sermons featured on
this site as well.
