  • Het boek Haggai is een van de boeken in de Hebreeuwse Bijbel, in het Oude Testament en de Tenach. Het boek is geschreven door de profeet Haggai. De naam Haggai kan vertaald worden als Mijn feest, maar volgens anderen ook als geboren op een feestdag, of Mijn feest is Jahweh. Het is de tiende van de Shneim-'Asar, de twaalf kleine profeten.
  • In 530 B.C. Haggai encouraged the Jews to renew their efforts to rebuild the temple and make it a priority despite their difficulties, so that they could receive the blessings promised by the Lord. He reminded them that they continued to struggle to feed their families, keep their homes, and have clothes enough to keep themselves warm. The populace had difficulty donating their efforts to build the temple, because they were struggling all the hours of the day to make ends meet. Through Haggai, the Lord told them the land was cursed for their sakes, that if they would simply put the kingdom of God first, and get to the work of building the temple, the land would bear fruit with less effort. This same example applies to us today, concerning the principle of tithing.

This same example applies to us today, concerning the principle of tithing. Haggai gave an exact date for each part of his book. The months were called by different names in the Old Testament but have been changed to current names to aid in understanding. Haggai 1:1-15 took place on August 29 520 B.C.; Haggai 2:1-9 took place on October 17 520 B.C.; and Haggai 2:20-23 took place on December 18 520 B.C. It must also be noted that the Jews' return to Jerusalem and the building of the temple is also found in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah.
