Lecture on Historical background
Show a historical time line
Stress the amount of time since the temple had been started to the time of the first proclamation (14 years) and make note of the immediate return to work when pushed by Haggai.
* *
*Isn’t that strange how they started without question?
*
Provoke thinking with this question: *But why does God have to follow up with encouragement in chapter 2?*
Split the class up into groups of two.
Have them look in their Bibles and find a valid reason for the temple’s incomplete work.[3]
If necessary point them to:
· ‘the other reference of Haggai ‘
· Ezra chapters 5 and 6.
!!!! 2. The Call to Courage in the Lord
!! Courage (Haggai 2:1-9)
October 17, 520 BC \\ \\
!!! 1) The building
a) Those who are saddened
Hag.
2:3 à Ezr.
3:12
b) The future temple
Hag.
2:7-9 à Ezr.
6:8
!!!
!!!
!!! 2) The builder
God is the builder, Hag.
2:6-9
Have two individuals read (call ~/ respond)
· vs.
3 and Ezr.
3:12
· vs.
7-9 and Ezr.
6:8
Vs. 7-9 have a double meaning:
*1)*The adornment of the future temple will be provided by the nations’ wealth.
*The desired of all nations* should probably be understood as a collective noun (”desirable things“ ie- treasures)
*will come,* suggesting that surrounding nations will gladly give up their treasures to adorn the temple in Jerusalem)*[4]*
As supported in Ezr.
6:8
*2)*The second is a prophesied future temple.
This is debated as to which one it’s referring to.
a) The bodily temple for us today
b) The millennial temple
/ /
/“The desire of all nations” is a well know quote to be “the coming of the Messiah”/
\\ However more recent scholars are moving toward a meaning of the millennial kingdom.
Could be easily either one or even both.
*Eph.
2:14*
!!!!
!!!! 3. The Call to Cleanness of Life
!! Cleanness (Haggai 2:10-19)
December 18, 520 BC

a) The Holy Question (vs. 1) The Holiness from the meat cannot be transferred to anything else.
