📚 Historical Context
In the time of Haggai, around 520 BC, the Jewish people had returned from exile in Babylon and were struggling to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem amid opposition and discouragement. God, through the prophet Haggai, reminded them of the original covenant made during the Exodus from Egypt, where He promised His presence and guidance to Israel. This assurance was meant to encourage the returned exiles to persevere in their faithful obedience despite their fears.
