Be Strong, All You People

Name Date

Read the Story

Yahweh's word came again by Haggai. God asked, who saw this house in its former glory? Isn't it like nothing to you now? Some people felt sad that the new temple seemed small.

God said, be strong, Zerubbabel. He told Joshua and all the people to be strong too. God said, work, for I am with you. He said his Spirit lived among them, and they should not be afraid. God said the silver and gold are his. The latter glory of this house would be greater than the former, and in this place he would give peace.

God said that from this day he would bless them. God told Zerubbabel that he would make him like a signet ring, for God had chosen him.

Memory Verse

“This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. ‘Don’t be afraid.’”
