Haggai 1:1-15: Rebuild the Temple Already!
Manage episode 427159685 series 2094168
On August 29, 520 BC, the Word of the LORD came to Haggai the prophet to the two primary leaders of the Judean exiles who had returned home to Jerusalem. Although the people had started to rebuild the temple about twenty years before, the work had stalled, and the people had become complacent. They cared more about their own houses than the LORD’s house. Because they were neglecting the LORD and His gifts, the people’s lives were in various kinds of disarray. The people listened to the Word of the LORD proclaimed by Haggai, and with the LORD’s promise to be with them, they began the work on the temple anew.
Rev. Doug Minton, pastor at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Minton, IL, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Haggai 1:1-15.
"The Post-Exilic Prophets” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the books of Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. Through the preaching of these faithful men, the LORD sent His Word to His people who returned home after their exile in Babylon. Not only did the LORD encourage His people in the work of rebuilding the temple, but even more than that, He pointed them forward to the fulfillment of all the Old Testament promises in the coming kingdom of our true King and great High Priest, Jesus Christ.
