Yahweh, commander of the angel armies, told him that the people were saying that it was not yet time for them to rebuild Yahweh’s temple.

Then Zerubbabel and Jeshua and all the others of God’s people who were still alive obeyed the message that Yahweh their God had spoken, and they listened to the message that Haggai had given them, because they knew that Yahweh their God had sent him. Then they honored Yahweh, for he was present with them.

Then Haggai, who was Yahweh’s messenger, gave this message from Yahweh to the people: “I, Yahweh, declare that I am with you.”

\w Then|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Haggai|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w who|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w was|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Yahweh|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="3"\w*’\w s|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w messenger|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w gave|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w this|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w message|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w from|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Yahweh|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="3"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w people|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*: “\w I|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w*, \w Yahweh|x-occurrence="3" x-occurrences="3"\w*, \w declare|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w that|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w I|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w am|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w with|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w you|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.”

So Yahweh motivated Zerubbabel and Joshua and the other people to want to rebuild the temple of their God, Yahweh, commander of the angel armies. So they gathered together and started to work to rebuild it.

They started that work on the twenty-fourth day of the same month in which Yahweh had spoken to Haggai.
