| Summary |
"The Bible, King James version, Book 37: Haggai by Anonymous" is a prophetic text written in the early centuries of the Common Era. This short book is part of the Old Testament and consists of a series of messages from the prophet Haggai to the people of Judah. The primary focus is on the importance of rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem and addressing the spiritual apathy of the people after their return from exile. The book begins with Haggai delivering a divine message to Zerubbabel, the governor, and Joshua, the high priest, urging them to prioritize the reconstruction of the Lord's house rather than focusing on their own comfortable homes. Haggai emphasizes the hardships that the people have been experiencing due to their neglect of the temple and reassures them of God's presence and assistance in their efforts. As the people respond positively to Haggai's call, he provides encouragement regarding the temple's future glory, asserting that it will surpass the magnificence of the previous temple. The narrative concludes with a promise of divine blessing and a reminder of God's sovereignty over all nations, calling for the people to recognize their spiritual condition and turn back to God.
