Hagai 2:1-9

Hagai 2:1-9 AVB

Pada hari kedua puluh satu dalam bulan ketujuh itu, datanglah firman TUHAN dengan perantaraan Nabi Hagai: “Katakanlah begini kepada pembesar Yehuda, Zerubabel anak Sealtiel, dan kepada imam besar, Yosua anak Yozadak, dan kepada warga bangsa itu yang selebihnya: Adakah antara kamu yang pernah melihat Bait ini dalam kemegahannya yang terdahulu? Pada pandangan kamu, bagaimanakah keadaannya sekarang? Bukankah di matamu, keadaannya sekarang langsung tidak bererti sebagaimana keadaan terdahulunya? Namun begitu, kuatkanlah hatimu, wahai Zerubabel, demikianlah firman TUHAN; kuatkanlah hatimu, wahai Yosua anak Yozadak, imam besar; kuatkanlah hatimu, wahai semua warga negeri sekalian, demikianlah firman TUHAN; berusahalah, kerana Aku menyertai kamu, demikianlah firman TUHAN alam semesta. Ini sejajar dengan ikatan perjanjian Aku dengan kamu sewaktu kamu keluar dari Mesir. Maka Roh-Ku berada di tengah-tengah kamu. Oleh itu, janganlah takut! Sebabnya beginilah firman TUHAN alam semesta: Sekali lagi, dalam sedikit waktu lagi, Aku akan menggoncangkan langit dan bumi, laut dan darat. Aku akan menggoncangkan segala bangsa, sehingga akan datang mengalir keinginan segala bangsa, maka akan Kupenuhi Bait ini dengan kemegahan, firman TUHAN alam semesta. Perak itu milik-Ku dan emas itu milik-Ku, demikianlah firman TUHAN alam semesta. Adapun bagi Bait ini, kemegahannya yang kemudian akan melebihi kemegahan terdahulunya, firman TUHAN alam semesta, dan di tempat ini akan Kuberikan damai sejahtera, demikianlah firman TUHAN alam semesta.”

Through the Bible: Haggai

3 Days

When Persia defeated Babylon in 539 BC, the exiled Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple. However, the construction project remained stagnant and was gradually neglected by the people. Haggai thus preached four passionate sermons to exhort them to shift from living a self-centred to a God-centred life by prioritising building God’s house. Haggai’s call is still very much relevant to Christians today, the church builders.

Priorities: A Study in Haggai

3 Days

Haggai prophesied in the post-exilic period as God’s people resettled in the Promised Land after being exiled in Babylon. Tasked with rebuilding the temple, Haggai rebuked the people for living in luxury while the temple lay in ruins. Repeatedly, God encourages the people to “consider their ways” (Haggai 1:5, 7), inviting them to reflect on the fruitlessness of their excess and reorient their hearts and lives to Him.

Haggai: Building God’s Church

4 Days

God has called us to build His kingdom, but sometimes that task feels hopeless. Serving at church, investing in others, and sharing God’s love with a world that doesn’t care sometimes feels worthless. In the Book of Haggai, we meet a group of people at another point in history who felt the same way. In this 4-day plan, we’ll see how God encouraged them and what that means for us.
