2Words of Encouragement. The Glory of the Second Temple1-9. An encouraging message in counteraction of disparaging comments upon the Temple structure, setting forth the significance and glory of the new Temple.1. Seventh month] i.e. Tishri, September-October. This message was delivered just four weeks after the beginning of the work. So heartily had every one united in it that the general outline and character of the new edifice had become apparent. The Feast of Tabernacles was in progress.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Haggai 2:1

(1) In the one and twentieth day.—Here, again, the day selected is significant. The twenty-first day of the seventh month (Tisri) was the seventh and last day of the Feast of Tabernacles. This was the festival of harvest thanksgiving, and its occurrence had always been marked by observances of a peculiarly joyous character. Moreover, the sacrifices on this occasion were very numerous—the number prescribed by the Talmud for the first day exceeding that of any other day in the year. Thus the... read more

II.(1-9) The Third Utterance.—This utterance treats of the glory which, in a later time, is to attach itself to the sacred spot whereon the returned exiles are labouring. It was intended more especially as a message of consolation to those who remembered Solomon’s magnificent structure, and who now gazed sadly on the humble proportions of its successor. read more

Christ, the Desire of Nations Haggai 2:6-7 The time when our Lord was to come is here predicted. I. This prophecy was uttered about five hundred years before the coming of our Saviour. How, then, can it be said to be a little while? a. It was a little while when compared with the time the people of God had already been kept waiting for the Messiah. b. It was short in the Almighty's own sight. It is not man's word, for things are measured in it by a standard which man never uses. II. What is... read more

2. COURAGE, ZERUBBABEL! COURAGE, JEHOSHUA AND ALL THE PEOPLE!{Haggai 2:1-9}The second occasion on which Haggai spoke to the people was another feast the same autumn, the seventh day of the Feast of Tabernacles, {Leviticus 23:34; Leviticus 23:36; Leviticus 23:40-42} the twenty-first of the seventh month. For nearly four weeks the work on the Temple had proceeded. Some progress must have been made, for comparisons became possible between the old Temple and the state of this one. Probably the... read more

HAGGAI AND THE BUILDING OF THE TEMPLEHaggai 1:1-15; Haggai 2:1-23WE have seen that the most probable solution of the problems presented to us by the inadequate and confused records of the time is that a considerable number of Jewish exiles returned from Jerusalem to Babylon about 537, upon the permission of Cyrus, and that the Satrap whom he sent with them not only allowed them to raise the altar on its ancient site, but himself laid for them the foundation-stone of the Temple.We have seen,... read more

CHAPTER 2:1-9 The Third Address Over a month later, after a good deal of work had been done, the prophet delivered his third message. He is commanded to speak to the same company, headed by Zerubbabel and Joshua; but here the remnant of the people, the exiles who had returned, is also included. If we consult Ezra 3:12 we find that many old men, who had seen the temple of Solomon, burst out in weeping when the small foundation was laid for the new temple. A similar feeling possessed the people... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Haggai 2:1-23

HAGGAI POST-BABYLONIAN PROPHET This is the first of the post-Babylonian prophets those who prophesied after the return from the seventy years’ captivity. To be interested in this book therefore, one needs to read Ezra afresh, particularly chapters 4-5, for the mission of Haggai was to stir up the people of that time to rebuild the temple. What excuse did the people make for not engaging in the work (Haggai 1:2 )? What showed their selfishness (Haggai 1:4 )? What showed their moral blindness... read more
