 A. In the first revelation the Lord reveals that much of the hardship experienced by the Jews at Jerusalem is because they have neglected to finish rebuilding the temple. In the fourth, after construction resumes, he lifts the curse that had thwarted their agricultural and business efforts so the land of Judah will again be fruitful.

 C. The third revelation also foretells the future glory of the temple at Jerusalem when the Messiah will visit it during his earthly ministry. The last revelation is directed alone to King David’s descendant Zerubabbel, the governor of Judah under the Persians. Zerubabbel is promised that the future Messiah will come through Zerubabbel’s lineage.
 Haggai is sometimes outlined instead as follows:

 * Haggai’s questions to the priests establish that uncleanness is contagious, while holiness is not (2:11-13). The application of this principle to Israel is that so long as Israel neglected the temple, that neglect made every other effort of the people unclean and prevented them from being blessed (2:14-17). Some of the language of verse 17 exactly matches [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/amos/4.9?lang=eng#8 Amos 4:9] where the Lord recounts Israel’s suffering as chastisements specifically intended to convince Israel to return to him.
