June 14, 2026 – Haggai 1 – ‘Finish the Temple!’

Haggai was a prophet who accompanied Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the Jewish mission to rebuild the Temple. After “the people of the land” convinced the Persian king Cambyses to order the Jews to stop their work, the Temple remained unfinished for years. But when a new king Darius took the throne, he reversed Cambyses’ policies. Still the Jews did nothing. So Haggai delivered a scathing message exhorting them to finish the Temple.
