Haggai 1:2
_ _ the Lord of hosts — Jehovah, Lord of the powers of heaven and earth, and therefore requiring implicit obedience.
_ _ This people — “This” sluggish and selfish “people.” He does not say, My people, since they had neglected the service of God.
_ _ The time — the proper time for building the temple. Two out of the seventy predicted years of captivity (dating from the destruction of the temple, 558 b.c., 2 Kings 25:9) were yet unexpired; this they make their plea for delay [Henderson]. The seventy years of captivity were completed long ago in the first year of Cyrus, 536 b.c. (Jeremiah 29:10); dating from 606 b.c., Jehoiakim’s captivity (2 Chronicles 36:6). The seventy years to the completion of the temple (Jeremiah 25:12) were completed this very year, the second of Darius [Vatablus]. Ingenious in excuses, they pretended that the interruption in the work caused by their enemies proved it was not yet the proper time; whereas their real motive was selfish dislike of the trouble, expense, and danger from enemies. “God,” say they, “hath interposed many difficulties to punish our rash haste” [Calvin]. Smerdis’ interdict was no longer in force, now that Darius the rightful king was on the throne; therefore they had no real excuse for not beginning at once to build. Auberlen denies that by “Artaxerxes” in Ezra 4:7-22 is meant Smerdis. Whether Smerdis or Artaxerxes Longimanus be meant, the interdict referred only to the rebuilding of the city, which the Persian kings feared might, if rebuilt, cause them trouble to subdue; not to the rebuilding of the temple. But the Jews were easily turned aside from the work. Spiritually, like the Jews, men do not say they will never be religious, but, It is not time yet. So the great work of life is left undone. |
Haggai 1:2
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time (c) that the LORD'S house should be built.
(c) Not that they condemned the building of it, but they preferred policy and personal profit to religion, being content with small beginnings. |

Then ceased the work of the house of God which [is] at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Ezra 5:1-2 Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that [were] in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, [even] unto them. ...

Song of Songs 5:2-3 I sleep, but my heart waketh: [it is] the voice of my beloved that knocketh, [saying], Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, [and] my locks with the drops of the night. ... I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
