	The '''Book of Haggai''' is a book ~~of the [[Tanakh]] ([[Hebrew Bible]]) and~~ of the [[Old Testament]], written by the prophet [[Haggai]].

He saw the restoration of the temple as necessary for the restoration of the religious practices and a sense of peoplehood after a long exile.

	It consists of two simple, comprehensive chapters. The object of the prophet is generally urging the people to proceed with the rebuilding of the [[Second Temple\|second Jerusalem temple]] in [[521 BCE]] after the return of the deportees. Haggai attributes a recent drought to the peoples' refusal to rebuild the temple, which he sees as key to [[Jerusalem]]’s glory. The book ends with the prediction of the downfall of kingdoms, with one [[Zerubbabel]], governor of [[Kingdom of Judah\|Judah]], as the Lord’s chosen leader. The language here is not as finely wrought as in some other books of the [[minor prophets]], yet the intent seems straightforward.		It consists of two simple, comprehensive chapters.
