¹ In the second yeere of Darius the king, in the sixt moneth, in the first day of the moneth came the worde of the Lord by Haggai the Prophet vnto Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, gouernour of Iudah, and to Iosuah the sonne of Iosedech the high priest, saying;

² Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying; This people say, The time is not come, the time that the Lords house should be built.

³ Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying;

⁴ Is it time for you, O yee, to dwell in your sieled houses, and this house lie waste?

⁵ Nowe therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes; Consider your wayes.

⁶ Yee haue sowen much and bring in litle: ye eate, but ye haue not inough: yee drinke, but yee are not filled with drinke: yee cloth you, but there is none warme: and hee that earneth wages, earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.

⁷ ¶ Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Consider your wayes.

⁸ Goe vp to the mountaine, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the Lord.

⁹ Ye looked for much, and loe it came to litle: and when yee brought it home, I did blow vpon it: Why, saith the Lord of hostes? because of mine house that is waste, and yee runne euery man vnto his owne house.

¹⁰ Therefore the heauen ouer you is stayed from dew, and the earth is staied from her fruite.

¹¹ And I called for a drought vpon the land and vpon the mountaines, and vpon the corne, and vpon the new wine, and vpon the oyle, and vpon that which the ground bringeth forth, & vpon men, and vpon cattell, and vpon all the labour of the hands.

¹² ¶ Then Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Iosuah the sonne of Iosedech the high priest, with all the remnant of the people obeyed the voyce of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the Prophet (as the Lord their God had sent him) and the people did feare before the Lord.

¹³ Then spake Haggai the Lords messenger in the Lords message vnto the people, saying; I am with you, saith the Lord.

¹⁴ And the Lord stirred vp the spirit of Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel gouernour of Iudah, and the spirit of Iosuah the sonne of Iosedech the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they came and did worke in the house of the Lord of hostes their God:

¹⁵ In the foure and twentieth day of the sixt moneth, in the second yeere of Darius the King.

Just a thought about myself also if gods not in it everything will be in vain. Self pleasure.

Sister camille's Haggai Chapter 1 comment on 1/05/2012, 4:06pm...

God never send His Prophets to tell you something Good, He send out a message of waring before destruction. Haggai is pleading with the people to build up human temples; that will do the work of the Lord. A two fold question was ask? Who has seen the first Church in it's Glory? and why do you think of it being a little matter? The two olive trees that is in the most Holy Place. repersents The Old and The New testament; showing us history from the old looking foward to the future. There is work to be done! is there oil in your lamps? So let's build up houses for God can dwell in.

'GOD' is a good 'GOD' that He will not leave us ignorant to go about our way and not consider reproof, right now I repent unto the 'LORD' and beseech HIS FORGIVENESS that I may be a sweet savor unto His nostrils, I thank you for the word that came unto me this morning 'LORD", AMEN

Neal's Haggai Chapter 1 comment on 4/05/2011, 6:04am...

This passage teaches me that god is a giving and patient god, but he is also a jealous god; he provides, but he wants gratitude. He desires for his people to be faithful to him. To worship him.

Dee's Haggai Chapter 1 comment on 1/30/2011, 8:19pm...

My pastor ministered to us from this chapter and it is amazing how the word is real then and now. I am once again encouraged to turn from unfruitful ways and follow God with my entire existence. I am nothing without Him, I have nothing without Him.
