Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon who attacked Jerusalem, the capital city of Judah. The temple of God was in Jerusalem.
After many years, they returned to their own country, and to Jerusalem. But they still did not serve God in the way that he wanted. So God sent his prophet Haggai to speak to them.
