In this episode, we hear a strong word from God through the prophet Haggai—a word that reveals His displeasure with the people’s attitude.
While the house of the Lord lay in ruins, the people were content living in their paneled houses, prioritizing their own comfort over God’s calling.
This is more than just a historical moment—it’s a call to responsibility, a challenge to respond to God’s invitation to build what matters most: His house.
Here’s how God puts it:
‘Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying, “Is it time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses while this house remains desolate?”’
— Haggai 1:3–4 (NASB)
