Haggai

The Lord spoke through Haggai, rebuking the people for prioritizing their own homes over rebuilding the temple, resulting in a drought and lack of prosperity. The people were called to rebuild the temple, and after heeding the Lord's voice, they began work on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month. The Lord then spoke to Zerubbabel and the high priest, Jesus, promising to fill the temple with glory, and that the latter house would be greater than the former, but also rebuking the people for their sin and polluted state, promising to bless them from the day the foundations of the temple were laid.
