Priorities (1:1-15)
God’s people have neglected rebuilding the temple, prioritising their own comfort instead. God commands them to resume the work, leading the people to restore their fear of the Lord.
Motivation (2:1-9)
God’s people are feeling discouraged as they compare their rebuilding efforts to the grandeur of Solomon’s temple. Haggai encourages them to be strong; God is with them.
Grace (2:10-19)
God’s people were half-hearted in their building work, continuing to experience God’s judgement. Yet, despite their defiled efforts, God surprisingly shows grace, replacing curses with abundant blessing.
Victory (2:20-23)
Haggai speaks directly to Zerubbabel, promising him God’s victory, entrusting him with kingly responsibilities, and pointing us to the true and eternal King, Jesus.
