    A Study in Haggai | The Temple, Zerubbabel, and Christ's Church

    What is the Book of Haggai really about? Is it simply a call to rebuild the temple, or does it point us to something much greater? In this Bible study, we explore Haggai in its historical setting after Israel's return from exile and discover how the prophet points forward to Jesus Christ, our Prophet, Priest, and King. Learn why the temple, Zerubbabel, Joshua the high priest, and the restoration of Israel all find their fulfillment in Christ and His Church.
