- -12=== In the Israelite's heart there was an innta urge to make first in their live* Jerusalem and the Temple as the one place where they could meet God and worship him. The loyal Jews were quick to ac- ' cept Cyrus’ offer to return from captivity. With plana to build homta for themselves there was a deep motive to rebuild th* Temple which purpose was thwarted for a time by the Samaritan** interference. But in their discouragement God *4ht two prophets, Haggi Who stressed the material Bide, the building of the temple, and Eech- . atiah who stressed the spiritual ' iff*. • V. 1. “And When the seventh month was ctrtfie and the children of ISrael were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.” [ Home life in Ute homeland was V. 3. “And they set the altar up oh his bases; tor fear was upon them because of the people of j thode countries; and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord, even burnt offerings morn- , ing and etehliig.” The primary meaning of an altar is the place whbre God ts met. Israel wisely , resorted to God tor help in this time of discouragement. V. 10. “And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, the Levi ths sons of Aspah w-ith cymbals, io praise the Lord, after the > ordinance of David king of Israel.” • The best prayers are introduced with praise and thanksgiving to >' God. it is flttifig that music bb used in this expression.

Atten-. , tion was called to the nature of ■ their Ways • looking after themselves first in that they had built their own homes first, allowing the building of the temple to lag.

Where may encouragement . always bd found? ' 4. Ho* property relate the ma- ! tferial to the spiritual? 5. What are our real reasons for praising God? - - Do You Know: 1.

V. 8. “Go Up to the mountains and bring wood and build the house of the Lord and take pleasure in it and I will be glorified saith the Lord." God’s glory is seeh in true worship as provided in the house of God. Here is where one loses sight of himself by being overwhelmed in true spiritual exaltation of God. V. 9. "Ye looked for much, and lo it came to little: and when ye brought it home. I did blow upon tt. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house which is waste, and ye run every man to his own house.” God had shown hia displeasure because Os their leghary in allowing Tils ’house to be uncompleted in blowing his harveato away as if they were chaff. In the long run God’s purposes are revealed by times of suffering. In whatever state we may be, it is our part to trust and obey God. V. 14. “And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Josua. the son of Josedech. the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they did come and work in the house of the Lord of hosts their God.” There was needed the same breath of heaven which had first kindled the fire’ of divine zeal in their hearts to arouse the now smoldering embers into living flames again. V. 6. “Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel. saying, not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord of hosts.” This prophet, Zechariah. in contrast to the proctical prophet, Haggi, stressed the source of the needed spiritual power generated by God through his Spirit. The material is a blessing only as a means tor the expression of the spiritual life. A proper relationship of the material and spiritual must be made. V. 7. “Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel, thou shalt become a plain: and .he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shouting,' crying, Grace unto it.” Here are expressions of glad acclaim. . word, of the Lord came unto me, saying, The hands of Zemibbabel hath laid the foundations of this house; his hands shall also finish it.” Here is proof that a true prophet spoke.

I“"wit* I — and ~ I Wisdom vl An unbelieving farmer went to church and leaving his wife at the house he entered the barnwas Isaiah 1:3. Returning from church and leaving hris wife at the houses he entered the barnyard. His dog welcomed him with yelps of joy, then he heard the whinney of one of his horses in the stable. The text struck his heart: "Thess dumb animals have sense enough to know me - yet I haven’t had the sense to recognize God.” God uses the weak things and foolish things to confound the wise. SAYS: “What a privilege it is for us Christians to point the discouraged and hopelejbs hearts of men to One who knows the beginning from the end\nd who can take the weak and insignificant things of this world to confound the things that are mighty." I Faith is to believe what we do not see; and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe. St. Augustine.
