One Idea Man Haggai Spurs Temple Rebuild

A 1940 Sunday School lesson on Haggai portrays the prophet as a one focus reformer who urged Zerubbabel and Joshua to resume temple rebuilding. He berated affluent residents for luxury while neglecting sacred work, urged thrift and labor, and praised the successful completion during Passover week amid collective tears of joy. The lesson ties ancient zeal to modern calls for work and responsibility.
