Haggai Two - The Heartbeat of Your Hope

Haggai is a warning to the people who had gone back, the returning exiles. They were just poking at rebuilding the temple and seem more interested in rebuilding their own homesteads.

You get a lot of that firm, well deserved, think about your ways lecture kind of tone.
