‏ Haggai 1:1

A Call to Rebuild the Temple

This section describes how God called the people of Judah to rebuild His temple after they returned from exile in Babylon. The people had focused on building their own homes and neglected God’s house. Through the prophet Haggai, God challenges their priorities and promises to bless them if they put Him first.

v. 1: In the second year of King Darius, during the sixth month, on the first day, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai. The message was for Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and Joshua, the high priest. God chose these leaders to guide the people in rebuilding the temple.
