A Study of Haggai
Background
Jerusalem was destroyed in 586 BC.
The Israelite people were exiled and many were taken to Babylon to live and be assimilated into their society.
God promised them in that after 70 years of captivity was completed they would return to Jerusalem.
In the book of Haggai we read about those who returned to Jerusalem.
1. Rebuke
Haggai 1:2
They have failed to restore temple worship
The destroyed temple was a reminder to those who survived the destruction of the spiritual failures of the nation.
They began to rebuild the temple but stopped after opposition arose and King Artaxerxes, who ruled over the empire after defeating Cyrus.
He ordered them to stop building the temple.
()
Those who returned had did not finish what they started.
The prophet Ezra speaks of opposition to the rebuilding of the temple.
Some reached out to King Artaxerxes, who ruled over the empire after defeating Cyrus.
He ordered them to stop building the temple.
(Ezra 4:17-24)
2. Reflect
Haggai 1
God calls them to consider their priorities?
Haggai 1:3-7
Instead of focusing on restoring the Temple so that they could properly worship God
Haggai 1:4
Instead of focusing on restoring the Temple so that they could properly worship God, they turned to their own interests.
Building homes, turning to their trades and working.
Oddly enough they were never satisfied.
3. Redirect
It is time to redirect their attention to the Lord
Haggai 1:5-
Haggai 1:
4. Reminder
Haggai 1:9-
God reminds them He will not bless disobedience
How do we handle opposition?
The Israelites were failing to obey the Lord in accordance to .
The temple was essential to their worship.
At the temple they brought offerings of sacrifice for cleansing of sins, for fellowship with others, and to worship.
In order for a proper relationship with the Lord to be restored they must acknowledge their sinful choices and repent.
They must accept the discipline of the Lord
They must correct their course of action.
How does this message translate to today?
As people of God, where should our focus be?
5. What can we learn from Haggai?
We must prioritize our relationship with Christ
Long for the righteousness only found in Jesus.
Seek His will, His plan to be done here in our lives, in our world.
The prophet Haggai’s message was clear to those who had returned to a city in ruins.
Restore the temple, long for the presence of God.
Going into 2020 let us as a people of God consider our ways individually and corporately.
Let us acknowledge Him in all our ways.
Let the words of our Lord spoken thru the prophet Jeremiah guide us.
