Does Haggai Speak to Our Generation?

The Return from Captivity A quick review: Zerubbabel (536 B.C.) along with Jeshua the high priest, with around 50,000 Jews, return from captivity. Prophets: Haggai and Zechariah. Jews started building the temple, Were stopped after one year. Enemies waited until Cyrus was dead, then wrote to Cambyses about Jerusalem. He ordered building stopped. Prophets Haggai and Zechariah stirred the people to build the temple (520-516 B.C.). Esther fits in between Ezra chapters 6-7, about 485 B.C. Ezra leads a return (458 B.C.). Concentrates on purifying the worship. Nehemiah comes to build the walls of Jerusalem (445 B.C.) Malachi, the last prophet of the O.T. (432 B.C.)

God will accomplish His will -- according to His time & purpose (Hag. 1:1; Gal. 4:4-7; Mt. 25:31-46) God takes note when man thinks his ways are more insightful than His (Hag. 1:2; 1Cor. 3:5-7) God takes note when men put desire of physical security -- above His work (Hag. 1:3- 4; Lk. 12:21; 1 Tim. 6:6-12)

Does Haggai Speak to Our Generation? What a comfort -- to KNOW that God is WITH YOU (Hag. 1:13b; Matt. 28:18-20, 18:20) Godly reverence compels men to be stirred up in spirit -- to work (Hag. 1:14; Josh. 24:15; 1Ki. 18:21; Ez. 18:20-23; Jn. 1:42) God takes note of when men determine to work, and get busy following through in faithful obedience (Hag. 1:15; 2 Cor. 6:2; Acts 18:8-11)

Jn. 12:42; Acts 10) Only with the Lord’s blessing, may one see the fruit of spiritual increase (Hag. 2:15-19; 1 Cor. 3:11-15; Acts 3:19) The Lord CAN and will bless YOU, from this day forward (Hag. 2:19; Phil. 4:15-20; Prov. 30:8-9; Eph. 3:14-21) God is a keeper of His promises, and He HAS established a kingdom that cannot be shaken (Hag. 2:6- 9, 20-23; Heb. 12:26-29; Acts 2:36-47; Col. 1:13-14)
