COMMENTARY ON THE LESSONS
Lesson 1: Haggai 1:15b--2:9 (C)
Along about 520 B.C. this writer advocated the rebuilding of the temple and foresaw that God would support this project by the contributions of many nations, those folks apparently in for a bit of nudging from God. This might work as the basis for a sermon in connection with a major building program. Apart from that, however, I'm inclined to move on to the the New Testament. Besides, think of the poor worship leader who must try to pronounce all those names.
