The Theme Of Haggai

Let us begin to muse from the Book of Haggai and it’s theme. May I point out that there is probably a century of time which passes between the book of Zephaniah and the book of Haggai. The people of Israel have spent their 70 years in Babylonian captivity. It is Haggai’s responsibility to challenge them to return to the promised land and build God a temple. The key verses are probably 1:4 were Haggai speaks of the Lord’s house lying in waste. The other is 2:3 were Haggai ask if any of the people remember the temple that Solomon built when the house of God was in its glory. May the Lord allow us to speak of a present-day glory in our churches and not a pass day of glory.
