Haggai (Prophet living at the time of Exile and Return)
The exiles were back and building their own houses while God's temple stayed a ruin, and Haggai told them that was why they were struggling. His short book is dated to the month and day in 520 BC. He got the building going again, and Zerubbabel and the high priest Joshua finished it a few years later.

Haggai was a prophet who confronted the returned exiles for rebuilding their own houses while leaving God's temple in ruins, arguing that their economic struggles were a direct result of that misplaced priority. His short book is dated with unusual precision to specific months and days in 520 BC, and his preaching successfully restarted construction on the temple, which the governor Zerubbabel and high priest Joshua completed a few years later.
