In the Bible, there are many prophets who spoke on behalf of God. But did you know that there was one prophet who spoke the word of God more than any other? His name was Haggai, and he lived and prophesied during a time of great upheaval in Israel.
Haggai was a prophet during the time of Babylonian captivity. That means that he prophesied to the people of Israel while they were living in exile in Babylon. It was a time of great turmoil for the people of Israel, and Haggai’s message was one of hope. He proclaimed that despite their current situation, God was still with them and would one day restore them to their homeland.
He refers to God as “the Lord of hosts” 14 times. This is significant because it shows us that Haggai believed wholeheartedly in the power and authority of God. He knew that God was in control of all the armies of heaven and earth, and so he wasn’t afraid to deliver his message, even in the midst of great adversity.
What can we learn from Haggai?
First and foremost, we can learn that no matter what situation we find ourselves in, God is still with us. Secondly, we can learn that it is always worth speaking up for what we believe in, even when it feels like we are outnumbered or outmatched.
