Ezra 5:1-2 King James Version (KJV)
5 Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.
2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.

Ezra 5:1-2 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Temple Work Resumed
5 Now when the prophets, Haggai the prophet and Zechariah, the son (grandson) of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, whose Spirit was over them, 2 then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel [heir to the throne of Judah] and Jeshua the son of Jozadak arose and began to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem; and the prophets of God [Haggai and Zechariah] were with them, supporting and encouraging them.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

1 It does not mention what they say here but they both have books of their prophecy that God gave to them, these were given because of the temple. They spoke to encourage, we should be encouraging when others are building things for the Lord.

2 The building of the temple started again, the prophets of the Lord helped with the building their were not just talking and preaching and bringing the word but the worked hard, preachers should be willing to get their hands dirty to serve the Lord.
