Susan, great song, because that fits perfectly with what I'm going to try to communicate today, that we are here, 2026, we are part of redemption history that has been going on literally since the garden, but more specifically since Abraham stood in the middle of what is now Israel and was given an incredible covenant that said, hey, look, these are three things I'm going to do to erase the effects of the fall.
I'm going to give you a piece of ground where I will dwell, that is God.
I'm going to give you a promise that one day your seed, which was Isaac, which was eventually Messiah, will come and give you an escape from the effects of the fall.
And that that blessing would not just be to you, but to all the nations.
That's really encapsulating much of what I'm talking about this morning.
So I want to talk first, this should be no surprise that I love history.
I hope by now.
And when I was a kid, I loved studying Roman mythology.
And so there's no, just so there's no mistaking, I'm not suggesting that we worship Janus, just getting that out there.
We get our name January from this God of the Roman world.
And the reason why is this God was the God of transitions.
He was the God of doorways.
He was a God who could look backwards and forwards at the same time.
And that really is going to encapsulate much of what Haggai is going to say this morning.
And part of what he's going to say is, doesn't matter about the past, doesn't matter so much about the present, but the future's coming.
And that should motivate you in the present as well.
So we're looking at Haggai, one of the small, small books of the Old Testament, two chapters.
And you remember the history, Nate outlined that before.
539, Cyrus is the king of Persia, comes in and tells everybody they can go home.
All the people who had been taken captive by the Babylonians, if you want to go back, you can go back.
I'm gonna tell you, not a lot of Israelites went back.
Please be seated.
