Transcription: Following Haggai's lead, Zechariah seized upon the need to rebuild the Temple as a vital first step. These prophets saw that as long as the Temple lay in ruins, Israel's distinctive character as a people of God was suspect. Together, the two men had a remarkable effect on their countrymen. At their urging, the Jews organized to build again, and within four years the Temple was complete. Once more the nation had a central reminder of its original covenant with God.
