Haggai - God's Rhetorical Questions

Have you ever thought about this? If God were to ask you one question about your life, what would it be? If He were to question the life that you were living, what part would He question?

The truth is, we all know what's wrong with our own lives, but we tend to ignore our own flaws and fallicies. We know the level of our own disobedience, but we choose not to correct it. If God were to ask us about these things in our lives, the questions would be rhetorical because (1) God knows the answer anyway and (2) so do you.

During the reign of Cyrus, King of Persia, the Israelites were sent back to Jerusalem from captivity in Babylon with the task of rebuilding the temple. Unfortunately, the cares and worries of life (not to mention opposition from their enemies) distracted the Israelites and they ceased working on that task.

In Haggai, God calls Israel back to the task of doing the work of God with a few key rhetorical questions.
