Haggai (p1247ff) • Old Dude. • Message: • Don’t be selfish…it didn’t work. • “Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains in ruins?” • Future Glory (1248)… • The REAL Dwelling Place of God • Does the clean sanctify the dirty? (1249) • Nope. • Addressed to Zerubbabel and all people.
Zechariah(Yahweh Remembers) • Young dude. • Don’t turn back…except to God.
Esther (1276) • No reference to Yahweh in the book. • Lots of references to lots. • The feast of Purim (lots) • The four main mitzvot of the day are: • Listening to the public reading, usually in synagogue, of the Book of Esther in the evening and again in the following morning (k'riatmegilla) • Sending food gifts to friends (mishloachmanot) • Giving charity to the poor (matanotla'evyonim) • Eating a festive meal (se`udah) • Lessons? • From Haman, Mordecai, Esther, and Xerxes
Malachi • The people question: • Do you really love us that much? • How have we been disrespectful? • How have we defiled the Lord? • Why doesn’t the Lord accept us? • How have we tired the Lord? • How can we turn back to the Lord? • How have we robbed God? • How have we spoken against God?
