Haggai

Haggai was a post-exilic prophet who ministered in Jerusalem around 520 BC. His brief but powerful ministry focused on motivating the returned Jewish exiles to complete the rebuilding of the temple, which had been neglected for about 16 years. Through four precisely dated messages, Haggai challenged the people's misplaced priorities, encouraged them when they felt discouraged by the temple's modest appearance, and assured them of God's presence and future blessing. His ministry, alongside Zechariah's, was instrumental in the temple's completion.
