Haggai

Haggai is a minor prophet from the Hebrew Bible who encouraged the Israelites to rebuild the Jerusalem Temple after returning from exile. Around 520 BCE, he urged the people to prioritize spiritual renewal and trust in God's plan, emphasizing that their efforts would lead to blessings and restoration. His messages highlight the importance of obedience to God and the significance of communal responsibility in restoring their sacred worship space. Haggai's teachings serve as a reminder that spiritual commitments can influence practical outcomes and that renewal requires both faith and action.
