An inspired book of the Hebrew Scriptures listed among the so-called minor prophets. It consists of four messages from Jehovah to Jews that had returned from Babylonian exile, urging them to finish rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem. Also being prophetic, the book foretold such things as the filling of Jehovah's house with glory and the overthrow of human kingdoms. - Hag 2:6, 7, 21, 22.

Date and Circumstances
The four messages recorded by Haggai were delivered at Jerusalem within about a four month period in the second year of Persian King Darius Hystaspis (520 B.C.E.), the book apparently being completed in 520 B.C.E. (Hag 1:1; 2:1, 10, 20) Zechariah was prophecying for the same purpose during Haggai's prophetic activity. - Ezr 5:1, 2; 6:14.
