Haggai 1:1-12

The first message of Haggai directed toward the returning remnant is intended to overcome their discouragement by answering objections to the call to build. Judah needed to remember that God would provide if they would obey. The problem of the remnant was the same as the children of Israel in the wilderness (as it is the same in the church today). God has said, "Build My house." Now, let us build the house.
