    Description

    Who was Haggai?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Haggai was a prophet who lived in Jerusalem during the post-exilic period, after the Jews had returned from Babylonian captivity. He is mentioned in the book bearing his name and in Ezr.5.1 and Ezr.6.14. Haggai, along with the prophet Zechariah, played a crucial role in encouraging the people to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, which had been destroyed by the Babylonians. In the second year of King Darius of Persia, Haggai delivered a series of messages to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, and the high priest, Joshua, urging them to resume the work on the temple (Hag.1.1, 3, 12). He confronted the people about their misplaced priorities, as they had focused on building their own houses while neglecting the house of God (Hag.1.4, 9). Haggai's prophecies also included messages of hope, assuring the people that God would bless them and that the glory of the new temple would surpass that of the former (Hag.2.9). As a result of Haggai's exhortations, the people obeyed, and the work on the temple resumed (Hag.1.12-15). The temple was eventually completed in the sixth year of King Darius (Ezr.6.14-15).

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    How the graph connects Haggai9 of 9 entities the graph connects to Haggai, in 2 groups: company 3, events 6. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.LORDAssociated with · 4 events · 1,004 versesWord Of LordTook part in · 1 event · 3 versesWord Of LordTook part in · 3 versesCompanyJudah1 event · 1,023 versesJudea1 event · 53 versesZerubbabel2 events · 27 versesJoshua2 events · 21 versesDarius2 events · 16 versesZechariah2 events · 6 versesEventsHaggai
