Chaggai #1 (Introduction): From Tzefania to Chaggai

The previous prophet, Zephaniah prophesied during the reign of Yoshiyahu (at least 22 years before the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash); Chaggai begins at the end of the 70th year of Galut Bavel, at least a 92-year gap! What transpired in between? Why is there a gap in the prophetic storyline?
