Be courages and what you do matters!!

Be courages and what you do matters!!

Haggai chapter 1 and 2

Israel was in excile for about 50 years. Isaiah prophesied about Israel's return.

Return to the land! Ezra 5:1-2

The jews returned home and lived in Israel for about 16 years before the temple was rebuilt.

Haggai explains to the jews why there has been constant frustration and a hand against everything they have tried to do with in those 16yrs. Haggai 1:4-6

What are you really living for? Things that will last for eternity or are we storing money in purses with holes in it?!

Haggai 1:8-10

After 18 years of frustration the Israelites learned that God should come first!

Haggai 2:14-19

God is saying that blessings are in n the way! If we repent and continue to work for the Lord the blessings will come.

An insignificant replacement — Haggai 2:3 — the Israelites were discouraged because that didn't feel like they could rebuild the temple the way Solomon did.

Be of courage, work, do not fear! Haggai 2:4-5 — just work! God will bless our efforts! The temple is never going to be built unless we work! Be courages and WORK!

Work because God is with us! Haggai 2:4b-5

Haggai 1:13-14; 1 Chronicles 28:20

Haggai 2:6-9 once we build the house God will fill it with glory!!! Even greater than the temple that Solomon built!

How was Haggai's prophecy for filled?

John 2:19-20; Revelations 21:22

Jesus and God himself are the temple and through the cross we can approach the temple and love with God for eternity!
