Description

Haggai is a book of historical accounts and prophecies. The book was written after the constraint in Babylon. The main figures are Haggai himself, Zerubbabel, and Joshua.

The message imparted is Haggai was sent by God to urge the people to complete the building of the temple in Jerusalem. However, it was not completed because of the aversion of the nearby nations and the Jews were anxious that they could not do something about it.

The Jews rested in their comfortable houses while God’s temple was undone. Haggai encouraged them saying that if they could finish the construction of the temple, they will have plentiful of blessings. Afterwards, the temple in Jerusalem was successfully completed.

The Revised Version, Standard American Edition of the Bible, simply known as the American Standard Version (ASV), is a Bible translation into English language that was finished in 1901, with the production of the revision of the Old Testament; the revised New Testament had been published in 1900. It was originally noted by its complete title, but have other names, as the American Revised Version, the American Standard Revision, the American Standard Revised Bible, and the American Standard Edition. When its copyright was extended in 1929, it had come to be known as, the American Standard Version. Because of its distinction in seminaries, it was in the United States to sometimes call as the “Standard Bible”.

The American Standard Version, also known as The American Revision of 1901, started in 1870 to revise the Authorized Version or King James Bible of 1611. This work of revision gradually drafted the Revised Version (RV). American religious leaders for scholars were sent requests to lend a hand on the RV assignment. In 1871, thirty scholars were selected by Philip Schaff.
