1:3 The use of quotation marks is avoided once again as it is confusing to open and close them when the Lord refers to himself speaking. It is also at times hard to determine which are the Lord's words and those of the prophet who is speaking for him. See also footnote for Isaiah 1:2.

TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Spiritual Renewal in the Later Prophets

Haggai repeatedly charged his audience to reflect on how their current situation resulted from neglecting their relationship with God (Hag 1:5-7; 2:15-18). God’s chastisement in a series of natural disasters called for repentance (2:17). Haggai recognized that spiritual renewal had to accompany the physical reconstruction of the Temple (1:12).

The theme of spiritual renewal helps tie the postexilic prophets Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi together. God had indeed brought his people back to their land, as he had promised through the earlier prophets. But the people still needed to attend to their spiritual condition, or they would face additional difficulties. The continuing prospect of failure to obey God during the postexilic period highlights the need for the appearance of the Lord’s “servant” (see Hag 2:23, initially applied to Zerubbabel but later interpreted as pointing to the Messiah). A righteous shepherd-king was coming (Zech 9:9; see also Mal 3:1). God’s presence among his people would return in a definitive way, creation would be restored, and worship of the Lord would be universal.
