Haggai 2:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Haggai 2:5

3 ^a‘Who is left among you who saw this¹ temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? In comparison with it, ^bis this not in your eyes as nothing?

4 Yet now ^abe strong, Zerubbabel,’ says the Lord; ‘and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the Lord, ‘and work; for I am with you,’ says the Lord of hosts.

5 ^a‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so ^bMy Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’

6 “For thus says the Lord of hosts: ^a‘Once more (it is a little while) ^bI will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land;

7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to ^athe Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this² temple with ^bglory,’ says the Lord of hosts.

8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts.
