And when they returned they faced  the temple, God&#8217;s house in ruin and in desperate need of rebuilding. But they like so many of us today have become completely preoccupied and engrossed with their own needs and situations. And the result as imply by Haggai probing questions is that, in spit of all of their effort and dedication without God&#8217;s hand of blessing in their lives, they and we would never be satisfied regardless of how much material wealth or possession we acquired. These are questions that must be asked again and again among God&#8217;s people.<\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Haggai (Program #1)\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-10-08T06:05:20-05:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Haggai (Program #1) - The Building of the House of Jehovah in Relation to Israel's Welfare and Messiah's Coming\r\n\r\nSome of the most penetrating words in all of Scriptures are found in the Old Testament Prophet, Haggai.
