| | HAGGAI, NRSV HEBREW BIBLE |
 | | Haggai exhorted Zerrubabel the governor and Joshua the high priest, the joint leaders of the Judean community, to assume official leadership in the reconstruction of the Temple, and urged the priests to purify the practices of worship. | | | Following three prophetic books set in the late preexilic period, Haggai, along with the subsequent Zechariah and Malachi, is set in the postexilic period. | | | The book is organized in five sections (1.1-11; 1.12-15a; 1.15b-2.9; 2.10-19; 2.20-23), each precisely dated from the sixth through the ninth months of 520 BCE. |

| | Bible Survey: The Book of Haggai |
| | The name Haggai (pronounced ha-GUY, with the stress on the second syllable) seems to be an adjective derived from the Hebrew word for "feast"; therefore his name means "festive". | | | There are two references to Haggai in the Bible outside of his own book: Ezra 5:1 and 6:14. | | | In his book and in Ezra he is referred to as "prophet. |

| | Haggai challenged the people to reconsider their priorities – he challenged them to begin the process of coming home to God by rebuilding God’s house; and as we read in the first of today’s lessons – the people obeyed; and things began to happen. | | | Haggai said the Lord was with them – and the Lord stirred up their spirits to come and work on what was to be the new Temple. | | | And so it was that the stage was set for the word of the Lord to come to the prophet Haggai; the first of those words was a word of corrective judgment; a word intended to suggest to the people of Israel that for the last 20 years they had not had their priorities straight. |

| | Haggai's second message is for the people to “be strong.” The Israelites faced hardships and were experiencing a drought that Haggai attributes to God as judgment for not continuing the construction of the temple. | | | In the Hebrew Bible the twelve Minor Prophets (these are minor because of the length of their books not their importance) are compounded into one book, and Haggai is the tenth according to the order passed down to us by the masorite. | | | The third message of Haggai was “be clean.” Sacrifices had not been offered to God in the temple for almost fifty years, and Haggai was telling the people that God would make the sacrifices acceptable again. |

| | Haggai 2:3-9 - rebuilding the Temple was going to be a lot of work, and take a lot of resources, so now God gave the leaders and people encouragment, that He would provide what they needed, and the Second Temple would eventually be even more glorious than the previous one. | | | Haggai 2:11-23 - up until now the people had had their priorities wrong, and so God had not blessed their work. | | | Haggai was concerned that they should get their priorities right, and rebuild the Temple to God's glory |

Greek: In Greek the book is titled AGGAIOS, a transliteration from the Hebrew, from which we get our English spelling of Haggai II. | | | Partly on this tradition and partly on inference from Haggai 2:3 is based the opinion that when he prophesied he was a very old man who had seen the Temple before its destruction, and was given the most important task of his life just before his death. | | | 4 Baldwin writes, "According to an early Christian tradition Haggai was a priest and was buried with honour near the sepulchers of the priests. |

| | A introduction to the Biblical Book of Haggai |
| | My reason for turning now to Haggai is to complete the study of the prophetical writings and sayings of that time in Israel’s history when God began anew to move within the Jewish nation and to restore to them the promises that He intended to bring about through their obedience to His word. | | | There, we noted certain implications in the mention of the prophet’s relatives and the significance of his name which seemed to tie in with a consistent interpretation that gave Zechariah’s age somewhere in his teens when he was first called by God to prophesy to the nation of Israel. | | | 520BC - Haggai’s second prophecy took place on the 21st day of the 7th month in the second year of Darius (Haggai 1:15b-2:1), 17/10/520, which was the 7th day of the Feast of Tabernacles - again, a significant date when many of the inhabitants of the land would have been in Jerusalem for the festival. |
