A Haggai Prophetic Call to Revive the Present Church in Ruins
8 Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the LORD.
9 “You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the LORD of hosts.
“Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house.”
