Guiding Questions: Haggai 2

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. From Haggai 2:2, would one conclude that although “God’s house” had been built it was “something of a disappointment” because of its modest size and furnishings?
  2. What is the message of the prophet to those who are somewhat dismayed by the “simplicity”?
  3. What is the prediction for both the House and the land?
  4. Haggai 2:14-19 are meant to instruct the listener that with the establishment of the house (its condition to the contrary notwithstanding) will come blessing or privation?
  5. How does the prophet conclude his message — with optimism or with concern?
