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

2:3 Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
