Haggai is a report on the utterances of the prophet Haggai during the second year of the reign of Darius, king of the Persian Empire, in the postexilic period. The prophet is singularly concerned with the rebuilding of the Temple, which is essential to restoring the nation’s religious purity. Haggai also believes that a great messianic age is at hand.

Haggai 2

2:22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
