Haggai 1

Commentary

Haggai 1 is the first chapter of the book of Haggai in the Old Testament of the Bible. It is a prophetic book written by the prophet Haggai to the people of Israel in 520 BC. In this chapter, Haggai is sent by God to encourage the people of Israel to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. The chapter begins with God speaking to Haggai and telling him to speak to the people of Israel. Haggai is instructed to remind the people of God's promise to them and to encourage them to rebuild the temple. Haggai then speaks to the people and reminds them of God's promise to them and encourages them to rebuild the temple. He also warns them of the consequences of not rebuilding the temple, such as drought and famine. The people of Israel respond to Haggai's message and decide to rebuild the temple. They begin to work on the temple and are encouraged by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah. Haggai 1 is an important chapter in the Bible as it shows the importance of obedience to God's commands. It also shows the power of God's word and how it can encourage and motivate people to do what is right. The chapter also serves as a reminder to us today that we should always obey God's commands and be willing to do what He asks of us.
