SUMMARY
CHAPTER ONE
Contents: Jehovah's chastening because of the interrupted work on His house. The work on the temple recommenced.
Characters: God, Darius, Haggai, Zerubbabel, Joshua.
Conclusion: Those are strangers to their own interests who prefer the conveniences and ornaments of the temporal life before the carrying on of God's work in the community. If we would have the real comfort and continuance of temporal enjoyments, we should make God our friend by putting His interests first, otherwise that which we gain is put into a bag with holes.
Key Word: Temple, Hg 1:2, 14.
Strong Verses: Hg 1:6, 7.

Characters: God, Haggai, Zerubbabel, Joshua.
Conclusion: If we take no care of the interests of God's work, we cannot expect that He should take care of all our interests. If we are employed in His work, we should be jealous over ourselves, lest we spoil it by going about it with unsanctified hearts and hands.
Key Word: Jehovah's house, Hg 2:3.
Strong Verses: Hg 2:6, 7, 8, 9.
Striking Facts: Hg 2:7. Christ is the desire of all nations, for in Him shall all the families of the earth be blessed with the best of blessings. The shaking of nations will take place in the great Tribulation, which will be followed by Christ's coming in glory.
