✦ MADE SIMPLE

So Zerubbabel (Shealtiel's son) and Joshua the high priest (Josedech's son), along with everyone else who was left, actually listened to God's voice and to what Haggai the prophet was telling them — because they knew God had sent him. And the people had this deep respect and awe for God.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
