+THE PROPHECY OF AGGEUS
+
+AGGEUS was one of those that returned from the captivity of Babylon, in
+the first year of the reign of king Cyrus. He was sent by the Lord, in
+the second year of the reign of king Darius, the son of Hystaspes, to
+exhort Zorobabel the prince of Juda, and Jesus the high priest, to the
+building of the temple; which they had begun, but left off again through
+the opposition of the Samaritans. In consequence of this exhortation
+they proceeded in the building and finished the temple. And the prophet
+was commissioned by the Lord to assure them that this second temple
+should be more glorious than the former, because the Messiah should
+honour it with his presence: signifying withal how much the church of
+the New Testament should excel that of the Old Testament.
+
+
+Aggeus Chapter 1
+
+The people are reproved for neglecting to build the temple. They are
+encouraged to set about the work.
+
+1:1. In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the
+first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus
+the prophet, to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, governor of Juda, and to
+Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, saying:
+
+1:2. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: This people saith: The time
+is not yet come for building the house of the Lord.
+
+1:3. And the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet,
+saying:
+
+1:4. Is it time for you to dwell in ceiled houses, and this house lie
+desolate?
+
+1:5. And now thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts to consider
+your ways.
+
+1:6. You have sowed much, and brought in little: you have eaten, but
+have not had enough: you have drunk, but have not been filled with
+drink: you have clothed yourselves, but have not been warmed: and he
+that hath earned wages, put them into a bag with holes.
+
+1:7. Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways:
+
+1:8. Go up to the mountain, bring timber, and build the house: and it
+shall be acceptable to me, and I shall be glorified, saith the Lord.
+
+1:9. You have looked for more, and behold it became less, and you
+brought it home, and I blowed it away: why, saith the Lord of hosts?
+because my house is desolate, and you make haste every man to his own
+house.
+
+1:10. Therefore the heavens over you were stayed from giving dew, and
+the earth was hindered from yielding her fruits:
+
+1:11. And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains,
+and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and upon all
+that the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon beasts, and upon
+all the labour of the hands.
+
+1:12. Then Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec
+the high priest, and all the remnant of the people hearkened to the
+voice of the Lord their God, and to the words of Aggeus the prophet, as
+the Lord their God sent him to them: and the people feared before the
+Lord.
+
+1:13. And Aggeus the messenger of the Lord, as one of the messengers of
+the Lord, spoke, saying to the people: I am with you, saith the Lord.
+
+1:14. And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of
+Salathiel governor of Juda, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Josedec
+the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people: and they
+went in, and did the work in the house of the Lord of Hosts their God.
+
+Aggeus Chapter 2
+
+Christ by his coming shall make the latter temple more glorious than the
+former. The blessing of God shall reward their labour in building. God's
+promise to Zorobabel.
+
+2:1. In the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth month, in
+the second year of Darius the king, they began.
+
+2:2. And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of
+Aggeus the prophet, saying:
+
+2:3. Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and
+to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the
+people, saying:
+
+2:4. Who is left among you, that saw this house in its first glory? and
+how do you see it now? is it not in comparison to that as nothing in
+your eyes?
+
+2:5. Yet now take courage, O Zorobabel, saith the Lord, and take
+courage, Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and take courage, all
+ye people of the land, saith the Lord of hosts: and perform (for I am
+with you, saith the Lord of hosts)
+
+2:6. The word that I convenanted with you when you came out of the land
+of Egypt: and my spirit shall be in the midst of you: fear not.
+
+2:7. For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Yet one little while, and I will
+move the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.
+
+2:8. And I will move all nations: AND THE DESIRED OF ALL NATIONS SHALL
+COME: and I will fill this house with glory: saith the Lord of hosts.
+
+2:9. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
+
+2:10. Great shall be the glory of this last house more than of the
+first, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place I will give peace,
+saith the Lord of hosts.
+
+2:11. In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second
+year of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came to Aggeus the
+prophet, saying:
+
+2:12. Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests the law, saying:
+
+2:13. If a man carry sanctified flesh in the skirt of his garment, and
+touch with his skirt, bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat:
+shall it be sanctified? And the priests answered, and said: No.
+
+2:14. And Aggeus said: If one that is unclean by occasion of a soul
+touch any of all these things, shall it be defiled? And the priests
+answered, and said: It shall be defiled.
+
+By occasion of a soul... That is, by having touched the dead; in which
+case, according to the prescription of the law, Num. 19.13, 22, a person
+not only became unclean himself, but made every thing that he touched
+unclean. The prophet applies all this to the people, whose souls
+remained unclean by neglecting the temple of God; and therefore were not
+sanctified by the flesh they offered in sacrifice: but rather defiled
+their sacrifices by approaching to them in the state of uncleanness.
+
+2:15. And Aggeus answered, and said: So is this people, and so is this
+nation before my face, saith the Lord, and so is all the work of their
+hands: and all that they have offered there, shall be defiled.
+
+2:16. And now consider in your hearts, from this day and upward, before
+there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.
+
+2:17. When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten:
+and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became
+twenty.
+
+2:18. I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand
+with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that
+returned to me, saith the Lord.
+
+2:19. Set your hearts from this day, and henceforward, from the four and
+twentieth day of the ninth month: from the day that the foundations of
+the temple of the Lord were laid, and lay it up in your hearts.
+
+2:20. Is the seed as yet sprung up? or hath the vine, and the fig tree,
+and the pomegranate, and the olive tree as yet flourished? from this day
+I will bless you.
+
+2:21. And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four
+and twentieth day of the month, saying:
+
+2:22. Speak to Zorobabel the governor of Juda, saying: I will move both
+heaven and earth.
+
+2:23. And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the
+strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles: and I will overthrow the
+chariot, and him that rideth therin: and the horses and their riders
+shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
+
+2:24. In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, I will take thee, O
+Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and will
+make thee as a signet, for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.
+
+O Zorobabel... This promise principally relates to Christ, who was of
+the race of Zorobabel.

+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:

+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
