people in the Bible: Haggai by ric Gustafson
In 539 BC, the Babylonian Empire fell to the Persian king Cyrus. The king decreed that the house of God in Jerusalem could be rebuilt. The reconstruction of the Temple started right away. Just as quickly, the work slowed down and then stopped. In 520 BC, the prophet Haggai and prophet Zechariah urged the people to start work on the Temple again. According to Ezra 5:1, the Temple was completed five years later in 515 BC.
When we are stuck or our ministry has stopped, we need to pray to God to start it again. Then we need to keep it going.
