Haggai

Bible Reference: Haggai 1:1-2:23, Ezra 5:1, 6:14

Haggai was one of the first prophets to emerge after the Babylonian captivity.
He served during the second year of Darius Hystaspes (Persia).
His prophecy is composed of four prophetic callings to the people.
He urged the renewal of building the temple which had stalled due to spiritual complacency.
The people heard his call to action, and they repented and went to work on the temple which was completed in 516 BC.
His final prophecy looked to the future when the Messiah would rule over all the nations beyond that of the Persians who had conquered almost all of the known world.
