II. SURVEY
A. FIRST READINGS
1. First, mark paragraph divisions in your
Bible, beginning at these verses: 1:1,3,7,12;
2:1,10,20.
2. Scan the book. The purpose of this
scanning is to see highlights, feel the tone,
and get some general impressions.
3. Scan the book again, with pencil in
hand. Underline key repeated words and

4. Did you notice various date references?
Mark these in your Bible: 1:1; 1:15; 2:1;
2:10; 2:20.

Does Haggai deliver a message to
Zerubbabel only, at anyplace in the book?
