Haggai Overview and Outline

If our resources have blessed you, please share them.

AUTHOR: Haggai

DATE: 520 B.C.

The Prophet Haggai (name means “my feast”) was the first prophetic voice after the Babylonian Exile. He was a contemporary of Zechariah. His ministry was to call the people to finish the Temple (work had been delayed for 15 years). Prophecies were given from August to December 520 B.C. The Temple was completed 4 years later. Haggai likely returned to Jerusalem from Babylon with Zerubbabel.

The book is addressed to all the people (1:13; 2:2), to encourage them to rebuild the Temple. But it is particularly addressed to Zerubbabel, the governor, and Joshua, the high priest (Hag 1:1; 2:2, 21).

The book contains four appeals, each introduced by “the word of the LORD came.” (Hag 1:3, 2:1, 10, 20), a clear reprimand of “consider your ways” (Hag 1:5, 7, 2:15, 18), and a strong command…rebuild (Hag 1:8)

Do You Know Jesus?

The Bible clearly states that everyone has sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). It also emphasizes that while the wages of sin is death, God offers us the incredible gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).

If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, know that today is the day of salvation (Acts 28). Turn away from your sinful past and turn to Jesus. Remember, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved” (Romans 10:13). Don’t wait—find hope and redemption!
