Best Answer

It is believed that Haggai was a Jew, born in Babylon, who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel and the Jews after the exile, in 537 B.C.E., but the Scriptures do not name the prophet's parents or tribe. He was the first postexilic Hebrew prophet in Judah and Jerusalem during the reign of King Darius Hystaspis (Haggai 1:1; Haggai 2:1,10+20; Ezra 5:1+2)and was joined shortly thereafter by Zechariah. (Haggai 1:1; Zechariah 1:1). Haggai and Zechariah encouraged the Jewish exiles to rebuild the Temple (Ezra 3:10-13; 4:1-24; Haggai 1:4)(Haggai 1:1; 2:1,10+20) until it was completed in 515 B.C.E.(Ezra 5:1, 2; 6:14, 15).

What does Haggai of the Bible mean?

Answer:One meaning of Haggai is "festive." On the other hand, the word derivation attributed to it expands the meaning to "a festival, or a victim therefore: - (solemn) feast (day), sacrifice, solemnity."The frequent murder of God's prophets would preclude that Haggai would be another "solemn sacrifice" of God's saints. But, history records he died in peace.
