The Exiles Return to rebuild the altar and the temple
42,360 people return with Zerubbabel.
The first thing they do:
Rebuild the altar (there is no ark of the covenant, there is no mercy seat).
They observed the feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and feast of Tabernacles even though the foundation of the temple was not laid.
In the second month of the second year, they laid the foundation of the second temple.
It was smaller than Solomon’s (fewer resources, no ark of the covenant.)
The older men wept, because they had seen the first temple.
They had witnessed God’s glory filling the temple on the day Solomon dedicated it.
This did not happen in Zerubbabel’s temple at the time of its building.

Work on the temple began, but ceased for 15 years.
So God sent Haggai and Zechariah to preach to encourage Zerubbabel and the people to continue.
the people had concentrated on their own homes and land rather than the house of God.

Haggai promises that this temple, though it doesn’t look like much now, will one day be filled with the glory of God.

Ezekiel saw a temple that was never built.
We just don’t know what that temple was.
My theory:
God intended that this temple would be the one Zerubbabel built, but the people did not build it.

However, Zerubbabel’s temple would be visited by Jesus.
Instead of filling it with the glory of God, Jesus turned over tables and drove the money changers out.
When He died on the cross the veil to the Holy of Holies was torn from the top down.
Instead of filling this temple, with Glory, God visited it in the flesh, but it was for judgment.
Ultimately, Jesus fills every believer with the Holy Spirit—we are the Third temple of God.
Zechariah encourages Zerubbabel to finish the second temple, but he also confirms that Jesus will build the Lord’s temple after the second temple is complete.

it took 19 years for the temple to be completed.
The Passover is kept:
The story of Ester takes place 37 years after the temple is completed.
Ezra comes 22 years after Esther’s story.
