Here we go through yet another book that I just found out about. This is the book of Haggai. It is one and a half pages long.
So this takes place under King Darius of Persia. The Persians were totally cool with letting the people in their kingdom do whatever the hell they wanted to religiously; and after about a year and change, King Darius decided it was time to let them go and rebuild Jerusalem. Because why the fuck not?
So as they decided to rebuild, a high priest came up to everyone and announced, “Hey! Check this shit out. God just told me that it’s not time to rebuild the temple just yet.” Well, this other guy stood up and said, “What the fuck you mean, dingus? We’re not going to rebuild our city without building the temple, so god has a place to hang out, too?”
The priest retorted that nobody was doing a very good job with crops or wine. “This is why god is causing a drought. Because you piss him off.” Haggai told this guy to shut the fuck up and said that god was totally cool with them rebuilding the temple.
Then Haggai and the priest argued a bunch and Haggai convinced everyone to rebuild the temple. The they declared that god was back on their side and would ruin anyone’s shit who ever stood against them.
So there you have it. That’s Haggai. Kind of seems like a story that didn’t really need to be told.
