Book of Haggai
The book of Haggai is a book in the Bible Old Testament and Jewish Tanach, written by the prophet Haggai.It consists of two brief, comprehensive chapters. The object of the prophet was generally to urge the people to proceed with the rebuilding of the second Jerusalem temple in 520 BC after the return of the deportees. Haggai attributes a recent drought to the peoples' refusal to rebuild the temple, which he sees as key to Jerusalem’s glory. The book ends with the prediction of the downfall of kingdoms, with one Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, as the Lord’s chosen leader. The language here isn't as finely wrought as in some other books of the minor prophets, and the intent seems straightforward.
Chapter first comprehends the first address (2-11) and its effects (12-15). Chapter second contains,
(1.) The second prophecy (1-9), which was delivered a month after the first.
(2.) The third prophecy (10-19), delivered two months and three days after the second; and
(3.) The fourth prophecy (20-23), delivered on the same day as the third.
These discourses are referred to in Ezra 5:1; 6:14; Heb. 12:26. (Comp. Hag. 2:7, 8, 22.)

shore. The kitchen in King's Cross Bead was abandoned, and with
quarters. Friends of Sidney's, a man and wife of middle age without
they and John Hewett should join in the tenancy of a fiat, up on the
Buildings. By this arrangement the children would be looked after,
further than on the ordinary system. As soon as everything had been
in the one room which was all they needed for their private
miserable sticks and rags for removal. Just then Sidney.
