The Prophet Haggai: Final Oracles

In this class, we cover the third and fourth oracles of the prophet Haggai. The third oracle teaches that God has withheld His blessings from Judah because they are defiled–and that He will cleanse and bless them once they begin rebuilding the Temple. The fourth oracle contains God’s promise of election to Zerubbabel.

We also introduce the prophet Zechariah and look at his opening oracle and his first vision.
