HAGGAI
ABOUT THIS BOOK
By 520 B.C., many of the Jews had returned to Judah from the exile in Babylonia. The
leaders were fairly well off, but most of the people were struggling just to survive. The
Lord told Haggai that the reason the people had to struggle was because the temple still
had not been rebuilt. Their lack of respect for the Lord's temple showed that they did not
respect the Lord himself, and so he refused to bless them.
The people began work on the temple, and then the Lord promised to bless them and make
them prosperous.
