Hageo 1:12 Meaning and Commentary

Haggai 1:12

Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son
of Josedech the high priest
Here follows an account of the success of Haggai's prophecy; with what power and efficacy the word of the Lord by him was attended; how it at once reached and affected the hearts of princes and people, and brought them to obedience to the will of God. The governor and high priest are mentioned first, as being the principal persons, and who very probably first declared their sense of their former neglect, and their readiness to do as they were directed; which was setting a good example to the people, and doubtless had some influence upon them: with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the Lord
their God;
not the two leading men in church and state only; but all the people that came out of the Babylonish captivity, who were but a remnant; a few that were left through various calamities they had been exposed unto; these, one and all, signified how willing and ready they were to do the work of the Lord enjoined them: or, "they heard the voice of the Lord" F3; by the prophet, very attentively and seriously; and received and regarded it, not as the word of men, but as the word of God; and determined to act according to it: and the words of Haggai the prophet;
or, "and for the words of Haggai the prophet" F4; because of them, considering them as coming from the Lord himself: as the Lord their God had sent him;
regarding him as having a mission and commission from the Lord to deliver them to them: and the people did fear before the Lord;
perceiving that he was displeased with them for the neglect of his house; and that this drought upon them was a chastisement and correction for this sin; and fearing lest his wrath should continue, and they should be more severely dealt with, on account of their transgressions.

Hageo 1:12 In-Context

10 »Es por causa de ustedes que los cielos retienen el rocío y la tierra no produce cosechas.
11 Yo mandé la sequía sobre sus campos y colinas; una sequía que destruirá el grano, el vino nuevo, el aceite de oliva y las demás cosechas; una sequía que hará que ustedes y sus animales pasen hambre y arruinará todo aquello por lo que tanto han trabajado».
12 Obediencia al llamado de Dios
Entonces Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, y Jesúa, hijo de Josadac, el sumo sacerdote, y todo el remanente del pueblo de Dios comenzaron a obedecer el mensaje del Señor
su Dios. Cuando oyeron las palabras del profeta Hageo, a quien el Señor
su Dios había enviado, el pueblo temió al Señor
.
13 Luego Hageo, el mensajero del Señor
, dio al pueblo el siguiente mensaje del Señor
: «¡Yo estoy con ustedes, dice el Señor
!».
14 Entonces el Señor
despertó el entusiasmo de Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, gobernador de Judá, y de Jesúa, hijo de Josadac, el sumo sacerdote, y de todo el remanente del pueblo de Dios. Comenzaron a trabajar en la casa de su Dios, el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales,
