they are starting the work from a discouraging place but God is with them and it is Him who will ultimately be building the temple. God talks about the coming of Jesus. God reminds them of their disobedience/defilement/uncleanliness and the fact that they did not turn back to Him during that time, then reminds them that (because of their repentance) He will bless them, both now and in the future through Jesus.
We are disobedient and unclean and we're a pretty hopeless case to start work on. But God does the work on us and with us. He's the one who blesses us. And He's the one who saves us through Jesus.
