I) INTRODUCTION: {HAGGAI 1:1}

WHO: God WHOM: Haggai

Haggai 1:1 "In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the [ word ] of the /\ LORD /\ by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,"

WHEN: In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month

Darius: King of Babylon allows some 50k people to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. The building is stopped when Zerubbabel refuses the help of the Samaritans (mixed blood Jews and gentiles). They send letters to Babylon which takes 4 kings later.

Haggai: Means festival of the Lord. The only other references are from Ezra's book. On the basis of 2:3 some believe he saw the original temple. That would make him over eighty and could be the reason he is mention first, as senior, before Zechariah. he would have come back with the remnant of people.

Ezra 5:1 "Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that <were> in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, <even> unto them."

Ezra 6:14 "And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished <it>, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia."

Word of the LORD: God’s word directly to prophet.

God also ordained Jeremiah a prophet in Jeremiah 1:5 and he is called one in Daniel 9:2. Elijah is called a prophet in Malachi 4:5. The other prophets by shown to be prophets by their predictions being completed of other names or such words as visions.

John 15:15 "Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you."

1 Corinthians 12:28 "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."

Prophet would meet the following:

- Spoke only in the name of the Lord (Yahweh).

- God had a special calling for him to by a prophet.

- His life matches his position. He did not practice divination.

- Do not assume signs and wonders prove his position.

- His God given prophecies came to pass.

Deuteronomy 13:1-3 "If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, {2} And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; {3} Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul."

2 Thessalonians 2:9 "<Even him>, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,"

- His message was in harmony with previous revelation. History will confirms his authenticity.

Deuteronomy 18:21-22 "And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? {22} When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that <is> the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, <but> the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

- Moral quality and spiritual essence of the message.

- Inner witness to the Holy Spirit believer.

- Test the prophets revelation against what the Bible states.

1 Corinthians 14:29 "Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge."

Holy Scriptures:

God's word is above that of His name:

Psalms 138:2 "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name." God's words is most important.

Word of God is Jesus (God's name) who is in every Scriptures:

Isaiah 55:11 "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." The Bible, scriptures, are God's words.

Psalms 40:7 "Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book <it is> written of me," (fulfilled see Hebrews 10:7) The Bible is centered on Jesus (God) before & after He is manifested in flesh.

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Jesus is God & the Word of God.

COMPARISON: FORMER & LATTER HOUSE OF THE LORD {HAGGAI 2:3}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Who <is> left among you that saw this house in her first glory? (1^st Temple)

(2) How do ye see it now? <is it> not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing (2^nd Temple)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHY: Be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I <am> with you, saith the LORD of hosts

Haggai 2:4 "Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the /\ LORD /\; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the /\ LORD /\, and work: for /\ I /\ <am> with you, saith the /\ LORD /\ of hosts:"

Three be strong..I am with you (1:13):

Joshua 1:6-7 "Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. {7} Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it <to> the right hand or <to> the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest."

Joshua 1:9 "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God <is> with thee whithersoever thou goest."

Haggai 2:5 "<According to> the [ word ] that /\ I /\ covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so /\ my /\ /\ spirit /\ remaineth among you: fear ye not."

I covenanted with you: God is true to his word (promises).

Numbers 23:19 "God <is> not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do <it>? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"

Haggai 2:6 "For thus saith the /\ LORD /\ of hosts; Yet once, it <is> a little while, and /\ I /\ will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry <land>;"

I will shake the heavens, earth, sea, dry land, and nations: 2:21 The coming of God's judgments on the nations.

Hebrews 12:26-27 "Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. {27} And this <word>, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain."

Haggai 2:7 "And /\ I /\ will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and /\ I /\ will fill this [ house ] with { glory }, saith the /\ LORD /\ of hosts."

The desire of all nations shall come..fill this house with glory..glory of latter house greater than former: This is Jesus.

Haggai 2:8 "The silver <is> /\ mine /\, and the gold <is> /\ mine /\, saith the /\ LORD /\ of hosts."

Silver is mine..gold is mine:

1 Chronicles 29:2 "Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for <things to be made> of gold, and the silver for <things> of silver, and the brass for <things> of brass, the iron for <things> of iron, and wood for <things> of wood; onyx stones, and <stones> to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance." Solomon had silver and gold from God.

Ezra 6:5 "And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which <is> at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which <is> at Jerusalem, <every one> to his place, and place <them> in the house of God."

WHAT: The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace

Haggai 2:9 "The { glory } of this latter [ house ] shall be greater than of the former, saith the /\ LORD /\ of hosts: and in this place will /\ I /\ give peace, saith the /\ LORD /\ of hosts." Future glory is Jesus, God’s, presents in the temple.

IV) DISCOURSE SIN’S RESULTS {HAGGAI 2:10 – 2:19}

WHEN: four and twentieth <day> of the ninth <month>, in the second year of Darius

Haggai 2:10 "In the four and twentieth <day> of the ninth <month>, in the second year of Darius, came the [ word ] of the /\ LORD /\ by Haggai the prophet, saying,"

Haggai 2:11 "Thus saith the /\ LORD /\ of hosts; Ask now the priests <concerning> the law, saying,"

Ask now the priests <concerning> the law:

See my paper: "Questions & Answers on Law, Faith & Liberty" THE PURPOSE OF LAW, FAITH BEFORE THE LAW, FAITH IS GOD'S PLAN & LIBERTY FROM THE LAW. for more information on this subject.

WHY: If one bear holy flesh shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No

Haggai 2:12 "If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No."

Haggai 2:13 "Then said Haggai, If <one that is> unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean."

WHAT: So <is> this people, and so <is> this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so <is> every work of their hands; and that which they offer there <is> unclean

Haggai 2:14 "Then answered Haggai, and said, So <is> this people, and so <is> this nation before me, saith the /\ LORD /\; and so <is> every work of their hands; and that which they offer there <is> unclean."

Unclean by a dead body touch any of these, it shall be unclean..So is this people.nation.work of their hands.which offer.unclean:

Numbers 19:11 "He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days."

Haggai 2:15 "And now, I pray you, [ consider ] from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the [ temple ] of the /\ LORD /\:"

Haggai 2:16 "Since those <days> were, when <one> came to an heap of twenty <measures>, there were <but> ten: when <one> came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty <vessels> out of the press, there were <but> twenty."

Haggai 2:17 "/\ I /\ smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye <turned> not to me, saith the /\ LORD /\." From Deuteronomy 28: Blessing & cursing chapter.

Deuteronomy 28:22 "The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish."

WAY: Consider now from this day and upward that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider <it>

Haggai 2:18 "[ Consider ] now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth <month>, <even> from the day that the foundation of the /\ LORD’S /\ [ temple ] was laid, consider <it>."

Haggai 2:19 "Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless <you>."

Vine..fig tree..pomegranate..olive tree..hath not brought forth:

Malachi 3:10 "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if LORD will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that <there shall> not <be room> enough <to receive it>."

V) DISCOURSE RESTORE GLORY TO ISRAEL {HAGGAI 2:20 – 2:23}

Haggai 2:20 "And again the [ word ] of the /\ LORD /\ came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth <day> of the month, saying,"

I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms..destroy heathen strength:

Zechariah 14:13 "And it shall come to pass in that day, <that> a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour."

WHY: Saith the LORD of hosts, for I have chosen thee

Haggai 2:23 "In that day, saith the /\ LORD /\ of hosts, will /\ I /\ take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the /\ LORD /\, and will make thee as a signet: for /\ I /\ have chosen thee, saith the /\ LORD /\ of hosts."

WAY: Saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee and will make thee as a signet

In that day..I take thee..will make thee a signet..chosen thee:

Isaiah 41:8-9 "But thou, Israel, <art> my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. {9} <Thou> whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou <art> my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away."
