Name Date

Read the Story

Haggai 1:1 says Yahweh's word came by Haggai the prophet in the second year of Darius the king. The people said, The time hasn't yet come, the time for Yahweh's house to be built.

God asked, Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste? God said, consider your ways. You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don't have enough. God said, go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house.

Zerubbabel the governor, Joshua the high priest, and all the people obeyed. Haggai told them Yahweh's message: I am with you. Yahweh stirred up their spirits, and they came and worked on his house.
