Haggai was a prophet who lived and worked during the time of the return from exile under Zerubbabel. After 16 years since the start of the restoration of the temple, Haggai received four prophetic messages from God, telling the people to stop being lax in their work, and get the temple done!
We know the exact date God spoke to Haggai, because the dates are recorded in the book: August 29, September 21, October 17, and December 18 of the year 520 BC.
