The prophet who called Israel out for building nice houses while God's Temple sat in ruins
A prophet who ministered in 520 BC after the first wave of exiles returned from Babylon. They had stopped rebuilding the Temple and were focused on their own houses. Haggai delivered four short, pointed messages calling them back to the work. They listened, and construction resumed within three weeks. Sometimes all it takes is someone willing to say the obvious thing.
