The Book of the Prophet Haggai – a scientific commentary on the text. Андрей Тихомиров

The book of the prophet Haggai consists of two chapters and ranks tenth among the books of the minor prophets. Haggai called on the Jews to actively work on the construction of the second Jerusalem temple. This construction was suspended due to ill will and intrigue on the part of forces hostile to the Jews, but then resumed after admonitions from the prophets Haggai and Zechariah. The new temple was completed in 516 BC.
