Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Haggai 2:1

In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month - This was the seventh day of the feast of tabernacles, Leviticus 23:34, Leviticus 23:36, Leviticus 23:40-42. and its close. The eighth day was to be a sabbath, with its “holy convocation,” but the commemorative feast, the dwelling in booths, in memory of God’s bringing them out of Egypt, was to last seven days. The close then of this feast could not but revive their sadness at the glories of their first deliverance by God’s... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Haggai 2:1-3

Haggai 2:1-3. In the seventh month, &c. For the further encouragement of the people to proceed in rebuilding the temple, Haggai was sent again to them, about a month after he had been sent the first time, to assure them from God, that the glory of this latter temple, how little appearance soever there might be of it now, should be greater than that of the former. This message, or prophecy, of Haggai, was communicated a little before Zechariah was sent to them for the like purpose. Who... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Haggai 2:1-9

A message of encouragement (2:1-9)Although the foundation of the temple had been laid sixteen years earlier, it had no doubt been damaged during the years of neglect. More work was necessary before construction could begin on the building itself. After the people had been at work for about a month, they could see enough of the rebuilt foundation to form an idea of the size of the proposed temple. Some of the very old people, remembering Solomon’s magnificent temple, may have commented that this... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Haggai 2:1

The last three of Haggai's four messages are found in this second chapter (Haggai 2:1-9; Haggai 2:10-19; and Haggai 2:20-13). In the first and the last of these, one finds two prophecies of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.THE SECOND MESSAGE (Haggai 2:1-9)Haggai 2:1"In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying."The significance of this dating lies in the fact of its having been a little less than a month since the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Haggai 2:2

"Speak now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the High Priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying, Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing?""Who is left among you that saw this house ... ?" There would hardly have been any point in a question framed just like this, if indeed there were none who could remember the former temple of Solomon. As Barnes... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Haggai 2:1

The Lord revealed another message, an oracle of encouragement, to Haggai almost one month later, on the twenty-first day of the seventh month (Tishri, modern October 17) of the same year, 520 B.C. This was the last day of the feast of Tabernacles (Booths). Tishri was a month of celebrations for the Israelites. On the first of this month they celebrated the feast of Trumpets, and on the tenth, the day of Atonement. The feast of Tabernacles lasted seven days, and the following day was a day of... read more
