| 0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible recap. |
| 0:13.2 | Today we finished our 33rd book of the Bible. |
| 0:16.4 | And in the next 11 days we'll be finishing six more books and the whole Old Testament. |
| 0:21.7 | We first met the minor prophet Haggai yesterday in Ezra 5 where he was standing around the |
| 0:25.9 | construction site of the deconstructed temple with his buddy Zachariah, another minor prophet. |
| 0:31.1 | They were there encouraging the returned exiles of Judah. Today we find out exactly what it was he |
| 0:35.9 | said to encourage them and we might even find out the exact day he said it. Scholars believe it was |
| 0:41.4 | August 29th 520 BC. After the exiles returned from Babylon, their first high priest is a guy named |
| 0:48.3 | Joshua. But in today's reading it spelled like Joshua. We'll keep calling him Joshua since that's |
| 0:53.6 | how we met him and since we're already friends with another Joshua. Today Haggai has a conversation |
| 0:59.3 | with Joshua the high priest and Zerubabel who is the local ruler over the people of Judah. |

| 1:09.6 | I know you all want to put shiplapp in your houses. It's apparently a thing now, |
| 1:13.2 | but we've got more important walls to panel. No matter what you do to your homes and your war |
| 1:18.1 | droves and your lifestyles, it will never be enough. You'll always want more. Stop scrolling Instagram |
| 1:23.4 | and Amazon long enough to face that reality. Nothing you're investing your time and effort and |
| 1:28.1 | emotion into is paying any kinds of dividends for you. You're just left with stress and frustration. |
| 1:33.6 | But do you know what will be a wise use of your time? Do you know what will be a righteous use of |
| 1:37.8 | your energy? Rebuilding God's house. And until you focus on what matters, God is going to continue to |
| 1:44.0 | withhold everything you're trying to access and save up. Joshua the high priest and Zerubabel |
| 1:49.8 | the local leader, no Haggai's words are true. But Haggai's words aren't only correction. He |
| 1:55.4 | offers them some consolation too. He tells them, God said, I am with you, declares the Lord. |
