NIVAC 24: Haggai, Zechariah
Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century
to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow
make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original
meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The
information they offer is valuable - but the job is only half done! The NIV
Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive
task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message
into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it
can speak powerfully today.The setting: Jerusalem. Recently returned
from Babylonian captivity, the Jews are occupied with personal pursuits while
the temple of Yahweh lies in ruins. To the prophets Haggai and Zechariah falls
the task of calling God's people to their forgotten priority: rebuilding his
house. Heeding prophetic admonition, the people overcome the obstacles that
face them and prosper in their work - thanks largely to the vision and
encouragement of the prophets. The books of Haggai and Zechariah represent a
golden period in Old Testament history, but they are often overlooked. Yet
these two minor prophets speak a major message to the church today. It is one
that calls us, as a community of faith, to the priority of God's house, and
inspires us with glimpses of its future glory.Series: NIV Application
