    About this ebook

    A theologically conservative, historical-grammatical interpretation of the Old Testament book of Haggai with attention to Dispensational perspectives. The book is viewed as the inspired word of YHWH to his people through the prophet Haggai. The response of the remnant to YHWH is analyzed within the historical context of the book. Appropriate applications are made to the practice of Christianity. Though a small book, the prophet has much to say about fear, faith, and blessing.

At his first permanent assignment in Indian Springs, Nevada in a small Baptist church, the pastor introduced him to Jesus and soon after he was saved. Over the next ten years those he met in churches from the East Coast to the West Coast, mature Christian men, poured themselves into mentoring him. In the 1970s he was gifted with the Scofield Bible Course from Moody Bible Institute. As he completed his studies his spiritual gift of teaching became even more apparent. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Bethany Bible College during the 1980s while still in the Air Force. Between 2006–2008, after his career in the Air Force and with his children grown up, he decided to continue his education. He enrolled in Bethany Divinity College and Seminary and earned a Master of Arts in Religion and a Master of Theological Studies.As an extension of his spiritual gift of teaching, he was prompted by the Holy Spirit to begin writing books. James Quiggle is now a Christian author with over fifty commentaries on Bible books and doctrines. He is an editor for the Evangelical Dispensational Quarterly Journal published by Scofield Biblical Institute and Theological Seminary.He continues to write and has a vibrant teaching ministry through social media.

      Introduction

      The message of the prophet Haggai was delivered in 520 BC. YHWH’s first message through Haggai was In the second year of Darius the King, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month. YHWH’s fourth and last message through Haggai was On the twenty-fourth of the ninth month in the second year of Darius. The Darius referred to is not Darius the Mede of the book of Daniel. The Darius of Haggai was Darius I, ruler of the Persian Empire from September, 522 BC to October, 485 BC. He is the Darius mentioned in Ezra, Nehemiah, and Zechariah. (See Appendix One for an abbreviated history from 605-516 BC.)

      It is helpful to know the chronology of the particular Bible books related to this history.

      Daniel, 605–530 BC

      Ezra 1–6, 538–516 BC

      Haggai 520 BC
