The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Haggai 1:1-15

The Indifference of the People Rebuked. When the exiles, under the leadership of Zerubbabel and Joshua, had returned to Jerusalem, they had begun the work of rebuilding the Temple with great eagerness. But when the Samaritans and others had placed various obstacles in their way, they had discontinued their efforts, making no determined effort to remove the difficulties. A few years after, when a certain measure of prosperity was found in Judea, they grew indifferent to the project, and so the... read more

the True Glory of God’s House Haggai 1:12-15 ; Haggai 2:1-9 One earnest man can arouse an entire community. Let a fire glow in our hearts, and it will spread. Assured of God’s presence and favor, within three weeks the whole land was awake. Note the cooperation of God’s Spirit with the message of His servant, “the Lord stirred up.” Let us ever seek and rely on His cooperation! “We are witnesses, so also is the Holy Spirit!” Three prophecies occupy the following chapter. In the first, Haggai... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Haggai 1:1-15

The prophet Haggai delivered his first message on the first day of the sixth month in the second year of the reign of Darius. It was addressed especially to those in authority. The people were excusing themselves from building by saying that the time had not come. The prophet replied by reminding them that they were dwelling in their own ceded houses, while the house of God was lying waste. He called them to consider their ways, reminding them of the long-continued material failure in which... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Haggai 1:12-15

The Leaders And People Make Their Response (Haggai 1:12-15 ). The result of Haggai’s persistence was that the leaders and people responded to his urgings, and to the word of YHWH, and began again on the work of building the Temple. Note again the great emphasis on the use of YHWH’s name. It appears three times in Haggai 1:12, three times in Haggai 1:13 and twice in Haggai 1:14. The emphasis is on the fact that this is YHWH’s doing and YHWH’s activity. Thus they obeyed the voice of YHWH their... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Haggai 1:12-15

Haggai 1:12-Ezra : . The Effect of Haggai’ s Eloquence.— Work was actually begun at the Temple twenty-three days after the first appeal. The phrase “ the remnant” (apparently editorial), probably has the same sense as in Jeremiah 24:8; Jeremiah 40:11; Jeremiah 40:15; Jeremiah 41:10; Jeremiah 41:16; Jeremiah 42:2; Jeremiah 42:15; Jeremiah 42:19, etc., and denotes those who have not been carried away into exile. read more

Then; so soon as they heard this convincing and awakening sermon. Shealtiel; who is called Salathiel, 1 Chronicles 3:17; Matthew 1:12. Joshua the son of Josedech: see Haggai 1:1. The high priest; the twenty-fourth from Aaron, as some reckon, (Alsted. Chron.,) but the first after the captivity. With all; either none were deaf to the Lord’s reproof and counsel, or else none durst appear so, when the chief rulers in state and church were so forward in obeying the prophet. The people; the common... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Haggai 1:13

Then; when the people showed their obedience, and the willingness of their minds, then God encourageth them by his prophet. Messenger; legate or envoy, the Hebrew word signifieth also an angel; but this is not surf, clout to prove their opinion, who dream that Haggai was not a man, but an angel in the form of a man; the word here used (arising from a word that signifieth to send, and paraphrased by a word that primarily signifieth to send as messengers are sent) doth speak an angel from his... read more
