In the second yeere of King Darius, in the sixt moneth, the first day of the moneth, came ye worde of the Lord (by the ministery of the Prophet Haggai) vnto Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, a prince of Iudah, and to Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest, saying,
Haggai 1:1 In the second yeere of King Darius, in the sixt moneth, the first day of the moneth, came ye worde of the Lord (by the ministery of the Prophet Haggai) vnto Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, a prince of Iudah, and to Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest, saying,
Haggai 1:2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying, This people say, The time is not yet come, that the Lords House should be builded.
Haggai 1:3 Then came the worde of the Lord by the ministerie of the Prophet Haggai, saying,
The verse centers on "second", "yeere", "king", "darius", "sixt", "moneth", and "first". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "second" and "yeere", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The next verse adds "Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes saying...", so "second" and "yeere" should be read forward into that movement. In Haggai context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "second" and "yeere" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
