In the second year of the reign of Darius
This phrase situates the prophecy in a specific historical context. Darius I, also known as Darius the Great, was a Persian king who reigned from 522 to 486 BC. The second year of his reign would be around 520 BC. This period is significant because it follows the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon, which was permitted by Cyrus the Great in 538 BC. The Jews had begun rebuilding the temple but had faced opposition and had stopped the work for several years. Darius's reign is marked by efforts to consolidate and stabilize the Persian Empire, which indirectly allowed the Jews to resume their temple construction.

on the first day of the sixth month
The first day of the sixth month corresponds to the Jewish month of Elul, which typically falls around August or September in the Gregorian calendar. This timing is significant as it precedes the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) and the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), a period of reflection and spiritual renewal. The timing underscores the urgency and importance of the message Haggai is delivering, as it calls the people to prioritize the rebuilding of the temple.

the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet
This phrase emphasizes the divine origin of the message. Haggai is identified as a prophet, a spokesperson for God, which gives authority to his words. Prophets in the Old Testament were often called to deliver messages of correction, encouragement, or future hope. Haggai's role is to motivate the people to resume the work on the temple, highlighting the importance of obedience to God's commands. The phrase "the word of the LORD" indicates that this is not merely Haggai's opinion but a divine directive.

to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah
Zerubbabel is a key figure in the post-exilic community. As the governor of Judah, he holds a political and administrative role under the Persian Empire. He is a descendant of King David, which connects him to the messianic line, and his leadership is crucial for the restoration of Jerusalem and the temple. Zerubbabel's involvement in the temple's reconstruction is seen as a fulfillment of prophetic promises regarding the restoration of David's line and the coming of a future messianic kingdom.

and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest
Joshua, the high priest, represents the religious leadership of the community. His role is vital in re-establishing the temple worship and the spiritual life of the people. The partnership between Zerubbabel and Joshua symbolizes the cooperation between the political and religious spheres in the restoration process. This collaboration is essential for the successful rebuilding of the temple and the re-establishment of proper worship practices.

stating
This word introduces the specific message that Haggai is about to deliver. It sets the stage for the prophetic exhortation that follows, which calls the people to consider their ways and prioritize the rebuilding of the temple. The message is direct and authoritative, reflecting the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate action.

Teaching Points
God's Timing and Sovereignty
God's word came at a specific time, indicating His control over history and events. We can trust His timing in our lives, even when circumstances seem challenging.

The Importance of Leadership
God used leaders like Zerubbabel and Joshua to guide His people. Effective leadership is crucial in fulfilling God's purposes, and we should pray for and support our leaders.

Obedience to God's Word
Haggai delivered God's message to the people, calling them to action. We must be attentive to God's word and respond with obedience, prioritizing His will over our own agendas.

Restoration and Hope
The rebuilding of the temple symbolized hope and restoration for the Israelites. In our lives, God offers restoration and hope through Jesus Christ, encouraging us to rebuild our spiritual lives.(1-11) The First Utterance.--The neglect of God's House denounced, and declared to be the cause of the prevalent dearth.

(1) Darius the king.--Scil., Darius I., son of Hystaspes, who became king of Persia in B.C. 521. The fact that there were still men living who had seen the First Temple (Haggai 2:3), which fell in B.C. 586, sufficiently disproves the absurd theory that Darius Nothus is meant, who did not accede to the throne until B.C. 423-4. Prophecy is now dated by the years of a foreign ruler, for Zerubbabel, though a lineal descendant of David, was only a pechah, or viceroy of Persian appointment, not a king in his own right.

The sixth month.--That named Elul, corresponding nearly with our September.

In the first day--i.e., on the festival of the new moon, a holy day which had always been marked not only by suspension of labour, but by special services in the Temple (Ezekiel 46:3; Isaiah 66:23). It was thus an appropriate occasion for Haggai to commence a series of exhortations so intimately connected with the Temple. Besides, it appears to have been an ancient custom that the people should resort to the prophets for religious instruction on new moons and Sabbaths. (See 2Kings 4:23.) . . .

Verse 1. - In the second year of Darius the king. This is Darius Hystaspes, who reigned over Persia from B.C. 521 to B.C. 486. He is called in the inscriptions Daryavush, which name means "Holder," or "Supporter." Herodotus (6:98) explains it as "Coercer" (ἑρξείης). Hitherto the prophets have dated the time of the exercise of their office from the reigns of the legitimate Hebrew monarchs; it shows a new slate of things when they place at the head of their oracles the name of a foreign and a heathen patenlate. The Jews had, indeed, now no king of their own, "the tabernacle of David had fallen" (Amos 9:11), and they were living on sufferance under an alien power. They had returned from exile by permission of Cyrus in the first year of his occupancy of the throne of Babylon sixteen years before this time, and had commenced to build the temple soon after; but the opposition of neighbours, contradictory orders from the Persian court, and their own lukewarmness had contributed to hinder the work, and it soon wholly ceased, and remained suspended to the moment when Haggai, as the seventy years of desolation drew to an end, was commissioned to arouse them from their apathy, and to urge them to use the opportunity which was afforded by the accession of the new monarch and the withdrawal of the vexatious interdict that had checked their operations in the previous reign (see Introduction, § 1; and comp. Ezra 4:24). The sixth month, according to the sacred Hebrew calendar, which reckoned from Nisan to Nisan. This would be Elul, answering to parts of our August and September. In the first day. This was the regular festival of the new moon (Numbers 10:10; Isaiah 1:13), and a fitting time to urge the building of the temple, without which it could not be duly celebrated. By; literally, by the hand (as in ver. 3), the instrument whom God used (Exodus 9:35; Jeremiah 37:2; Hosea 12:11; Acts 7:35) Haggai the prophet (see the Introduction). Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel; Septuagint, Αἰπὸν πρὸς Ζοροβάβελ τὸν τοῦ Σαλαθιὴλ, "Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel." The temporal head of the nation, the representative of the royal house of David, and therefore with the high priest jointly responsible, for the present state of affairs, and having power and authority to amend it. The name, as explained, and rightly, by St. Jerome, means, "Born in Babylon," and intimates the truth concerning his origin. He is called Sheshbazzar in Ezra 1:8; Ezra 5:14, which is either his name at the Persian court, or is an erroneous transliteration for a synonymous word (see Kuabenbauer, in loc.). The name is found in the cuneiform inscription, as Zir-Babilu. Shealtiel (or Salathiel) means, "Asked of God." There is a difficulty about Zerubbabel's parentage. Here and frequently in this book, and in Ezra and Nehemiah, as well as in Matthew 1:12 and Luke 3:27, he is called "son of Shealtiel;" in 1 Chronicles 3:19 he is said to be the son of Pedaiah the brother of Salathiel. The truth probably is that he was by birth the son of Pedaiah, but by adoption or the law of the levirate, the son of Salathiel. He was regarded as the grandson of Jehoiachin, or Jeconiah. Governor (pechah). A foreign word, used in 1 Kings 10:15, in Isaiah (Isaiah 36:9) and frequently in Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther, to denote an inferior satrap or subordinate governor. Strassmaier (ap. Knabenbauer) notes that in Assyrian the word is found in the form pachu, that pichatu means "a province," pachat, "a district." It seems natural, though probably erroneous, to connect it with the Turkish pashah. But see the discussion on the word in Pusey, 'Daniel the Prophet,' p. 566, etc. Instead of "Governor of Judah," the LXX. here and ver. 12 and Haggai 2:2 reads, "of the tribe of Judah." One of the house of David has the government, but the foreign title applied to him shows that he holds authority only as the deputy of an alien power. Judah was henceforward applied to the whole country. The prophecy in Genesis 49:10 still held good. Joshua. The highest spiritual officer (Ezra 3:2, 8; Ezra 4:3). This Joshua, Jehoshua, Jeshua, as he is variously called, was a son of Josedech who, in the time of Nebuchadnezzar, had been carried captive to Babylon (1 Chronicles 6:15), and grandson of that Seraiah who, with other princes of Judah, was slain at Riblah by the Babyloniaes (2 Kings 25:18, etc.). The parentage of Zerubbabel and Joshua is specially mentioned to show that the former was of the house of David and the latter of the family of Aaron, and that even in its depressed condition Israel retained its rightful constitution (see note on Zechariah 3:1).
