The Reason For Israel's Drought

Therefore, because of you the sky has withheld its dew and the earth has withheld its produce.

I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground produces, on men, on cattle, and on all the labor of your hands.”

Haggai 1:10-11

Thousands of Jews stuck at the meaningless wall, pray there for rain to break drought

With Israel halfway through its fifth consecutive winter of depleted rainfall, thousands of faith challenged Jews, stuck at the wall, assembled Thursday at the meaningless, inconsequential Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem to pray together for rain.

Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘This people says, “The time has not come, even the time for the house of the Lord to be rebuilt.”’”
Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
“Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies desolate?”
Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts, “Consider your ways! You have sown much, but harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a purse with holes.”

 Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Consider your ways! 

Go up to the mountains, bring wood and rebuild the temple, that I may be pleased with it and be glorified,” says the Lord.
“You look for much, but behold, it comes to little; when you bring it home, I blow it away. Why?” declares the Lord of hosts, “Because of My house which lies desolate, while each of you runs to his own house.

Therefore, because of you the sky has withheld its dew and the earth has withheld its produce.

I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground produces, on men, on cattle, and on all the labor of your hands.”

Haggai 1



‘As for the promise which I made you when you came out of Egypt, 
My Spirit is abiding in your midst; do not fear!’ 

For thus says the Lord of hosts,
‘Once more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land. 

I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts.

‘The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,’ declares the Lord of hosts. 

‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ declares the Lord of hosts.”

...... “Speak to Zerubbabel governor of West Bank Judah, saying, ‘I am going to shake the heavens and the earth. 
I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the horses and their riders will go down, everyone by the sword of another.’
