Obedience Unlocks Blessing
Commentators unanimously agree that the "former days" of hardship were a direct result of the people's disobedience in neglecting to rebuild the temple. The "but now" in this verse marks a pivotal turning point. Because the people have returned to the work, God promises to change His posture from discipline to blessing, demonstrating a clear link between obedience and experiencing God's favor.
