SummaryThis heading should be very brief. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. → Relationship to Old Testament. Haggai is one of the "Minor Prophets" of the Old Testament. The relationship of Haggai to the Old Testament as a whole, and to the other minor prophets in particular, is discussed at Old Testament: Organization. Story. Haggai contains a series of five revelations given to the prophet Haggai in 520 BC, mostly prompting the Jews to finish rebuilding the temple. On this occasion the Jews did heed the prophets and finished rebuilding the temple about five years later in 515 BC.
Message. Themes, symbols, and doctrinal points emphasized in Haggai include: Historical settingThis heading should be brief and explain facts about the historical setting that will help a reader to understand the book. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. → Historical Background: Haggai is set at Jerusalem in 520 BC, about fifteen years after the first Jews return to Jerusalem. The Samaritans were descendants of those left in Judea when the Babylonians carried off the elites and many of the poor. They intermarried with foreigners and were considered by the returning exiles to have a corrupt form of worship. The first Jews returned from Babylon to Jerusalem in 537 BC under the Persian king Cyrus. They quickly rebuilt the altar and foundation of the temple. But when the Jews would not let the Samaritans participate in rebuilding the temple, the Samaritans were able stop construction before the temple walls were built (Ezra 1-4). Fifteen years later, in 520 BC during the second year of the Persian king Darius, Haggai and Zechariah begin to prophesy (Ezra 5:1; 6:14). Zechariah 1:2-6 fits timewise between Haggai 2:9 and 10, or between Haggai’s third and fourth recorded revelations. It is helpful to read Haggai in light of Ezra 1-6 and Zechariah 1-8. Malachi is also set in the same general time frame after Haggai and Ezra but before Nehemiah. A broader treatment of the history of ancient Israel, including Haggai, is found at Old Testament: Historical Overview. DiscussionThis heading is for more detailed discussions of all or part of a passage. Discussion may include the meaning of a particular word, how a doctrinal point is developed throughout the passage, insights to be developed in the future, and other items. Contributions may range from polished paragraphs down to a single bullet point. The focus, however, should always be on understanding the scriptural text consistent with LDS doctrine.
