Summary "The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 42: Aggeus" is a religious text belonging to the genre of scripture, specifically the Old Testament of the Holy Bible. This translation, based on the Latin Vulgate, was first published by the English College at Douay in the early 17th century, during a significant period of religious upheaval and reform. This particular book addresses themes of prophecy, exhortation, and the importance of rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile, focusing on spiritual and communal restoration. In this brief book, the prophet Aggeus delivers messages from God to encourage the people of Judah, particularly Zorobabel and the high priest Jesus, to resume the construction of the Temple, which had been halted due to external opposition. Aggeus reproves the people's neglect of the Temple, urging them to reflect on their unfulfilled lives as a result of their choice to prioritize their own houses over God's dwelling. He assures them that their efforts will not be in vain, as the new Temple will be even more glorious than the first, culminating in the promise that the "Desired of All Nations" will come and fill this house with glory, symbolizing the coming Messiah and the peace He would bestow.
