At that time, the prophet Haggai and Zechariah, the son of Iddo, spoke to the people of Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel.

So Zerubbabel, the son of Salathiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, rose up and began to build the temple of God in Jerusalem, where the prophets of God were helping them.

At that time, the governor of Hexi, Danai and Shetabosnay, along with their companions, came to ask, “Who issued an edict for you to build this temple and build this wall?”?

We will tell them the name of the person who built this temple.

The eyes of God were on the elders of Judah, so that the governor and others did not stop them until this matter was reported to Darius and he received his reply.

Darnay, the governor of the west bank of the river, and Shetabosnay, along with their companions, the people of Aphasacah who lived on the west bank of the river, reported this to King Darius.

It is written in this book, ‘May all the things of King Darius be safe.’.

The king should know that we went to the province of Judah and arrived at the temple of the Most Great God, which was built with great stones. The beam was inserted into the wall, and the work was fast. Their subordinates were successful.

We will ask the elders, ‘Who issued a decree for you to build this temple and build this wall?’?

Ask their names again, to record the names of their leaders and report them to the king.

They answered, We are servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we have rebuilt the temple that was built many years ago, which was built and repaired by a great king of Israel.

But because our ancestors provoked the God of heaven to anger, God handed them over to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, the Chaldeans. He destroyed this temple and abducted the people to Babylon.

However, in the first year of King Cyrus of Babylon, he issued a decree allowing the construction of this temple of God.

The gold and silver vessels in the temple, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to the Babylonian temple, were taken by King Cyrus from the Babylonian temple and handed over to the governor named Shebazzar,

Tell him to take these vessels and place them in the temple in Jerusalem, and build the temple of God in its original place.

So this set up Barcelona to establish the foundation of the temple in Jerusalem. This hall has not been built since then until now.

If the king finds it beautiful now, please investigate the treasury of the king of Babylon and see if King Cyrus has issued a decree allowing the construction of the temple of God in Jerusalem. What is the king’s intention. Please issue an edict to inform us.
