Setting the Stage:

In 539 BC Cyrus gave the decree allowing the Jews to return to Judah and begin rebuilding the temple.

In 520 BC Haggai entered the scene and called upon the Jews to resume building the temple after 16 years of stagnation.

The work on the temple was completed in 515 BC.

Life was not easy, Persia dominated the political scene, hearts were indifferent, even resentful to God, and the people's hope in God had waned.

Sometime between 45 BC and 430 BC a prophet, Malachi appeared on the scene.

Last week we learned of God's justice.

This week we will focus on our need to revere God.
