Haggaiنموونە

Last week we saw that the people obeyed and God blessed their work. As a result of the obedience, promises are given that the glory of “this present house” will be greater than the previous “house.” The book ends with a seemingly bizarre word from the Lord to ask the priest what makes something clean or unclean, and that the Lord will make Zerubbabel a signet ring.

Last week, three times in Chapter 1, Haggai addressed a list of people:

1. Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel (the governor from the royal line)
2. Joshua son of Jozadak (High priest)
3. The people

This is going to be an important part of the study this week to determine the prophetic events Haggai is pointing forward toward.
