Charles Spurgeon Commentary Haggai 2:1

"In the seventh [month], in the one and twentieth [day] of the month, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying," — Haggai 2:1 (ASV)

In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying, (Haggai 2:1)

God's people need to be spoken to very often; and every time God speaks to them, he takes account of it. Let us do the same: let us not think it is such an unimportant matter for us to hear a gospel sermon that we need not take note when we hear it. Oh, that the Word of the Lord were more precious to us in these days! Let us praise God for it, and not consider it to be so common a thing that we take no more notice of it than we do of eating our breakfast or sitting down to our supper.

In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month.

Not very long after.
