The Pulpit Commentary - Haggai 2:9

The peace of god. "And in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts." Various theories have been propounded concerning how temporal peace and prosperity may be secured to a people. One wilt tell you that everything turns upon which political party happens to be in power; a second will cry, "Free Trade;" a third will respond, "Protection;" a fourth will dilate upon "the reform of the land laws;" a fifth will enlarge upon the importance of the maintenance of our military... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Haggai 2:9

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former - or, perhaps, more probably, “the later glory of this house shall be greater than the former;” for he had already spoken of the present temple, as identical with that before the captivity . “Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory, anti how do you see it now?” He had spoken of its “first glory.” Now he says, in contrast, its later glory should be greater than that of its most glorious times. In this case... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Haggai 2:8-9

Haggai 2:8-9. The silver is mine Solomon’s temple was more richly adorned with silver and gold than this, and I, that am the Lord of all the world, could easily command the riches of it, and bring them together for beautifying this my house, if I took delight in, or wanted any thing of this sort. A like expression as this is used, Psalms 50:10, with regard to sacrifices. The glory of this latter house, &c. The glory of this second temple shall exceed that of the former, not in riches... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Haggai 2:1-9

A message of encouragement (2:1-9)Although the foundation of the temple had been laid sixteen years earlier, it had no doubt been damaged during the years of neglect. More work was necessary before construction could begin on the building itself. After the people had been at work for about a month, they could see enough of the rebuilt foundation to form an idea of the size of the proposed temple. Some of the very old people, remembering Solomon’s magnificent temple, may have commented that this... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Haggai 2:9

"The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts."We have already seen that the true meaning of all that Haggai said was that the glory of Christianity should far outshine the glory of Judaism. The new Temple, the Church, would far surpass the temples of Jerusalem. Now, with reference to whether or not Haggai fully understood all the Lord said through him, we may freely concede that he most... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Haggai 2:6-9

Haggai 2:6-9. For thus saith the Lord— The excellent Bishop Chandler has, with his usual learning and judgment, explained this remarkable prophesy; and it is from him that we have chiefly extracted what follows. The occasion of this prophesy, says he, was the dejection of the Jews at the unhopeful appearance of their new-erecting temple, Haggai 2:3. The comfort, therefore, in the prophet's message was surely suited to this circumstance, and contains a promise of some glory to be conferred on... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Haggai 2:9

9. The glory of this latter house . . . greater than of the former—namely, through the presence of Messiah, in (whose) face is given the light of the knowledge of the glory of God ( :-; compare Hebrews 1:2), and who said of Himself, "in this place is one greater than the temple" (Matthew 12:6), and who "sat daily teaching in it" (Matthew 12:6- :). Though Zerubbabel's temple was taken down to the foundations when Herod rebuilt the temple, the latter was considered, in a religious point of view,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Haggai 2:9

Even though the present temple was less glorious than Solomon’s temple, the Lord promised that the final glory of the temple would be greater than its former glory. The Lord also promised to bring peace to the site of the temple, Jerusalem. Neither of these things has happened yet, so the fulfillment must be future (millennial). Lasting peace will only come when Messiah returns to rule and reign (cf. Isaiah 2:4; Isaiah 9:6; Zechariah 9:9-10). Jesus Christ’s adornment of the second temple, as... read more
