The Recovery of the Building of the House of God through the Divine Encouragement of the Prophets of God

Scripture Reading: Ezra 5:1-2; Hag. 1:2-5, 7-8, 9b, 14; 2:6-7, 9a, 23; Zech. 3:9; 4:2-7, 11-14

Ezr 5:1-2 Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel who was over them. Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak rose up and began to build the house of God, which is in Jerusalem; and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.

In the rebuilding of the recovered temple as the house of God, both Joshua (representing the priesthood) and Zerubbabel (representing the kingship) became somewhat weak and discouraged; therefore, God used the prophets Haggai and Zechariah to speak for Him in order to strengthen, assist, and encourage Joshua and Zerubbabel (Outline, I.)

Because the house of Jehovah is a type of the church, Haggai’s prophecy refers to us, the New Testament believers, since we are the reality of the type (Outline, II. B.)
