The Pulpit Commentary - Haggai 2:7

God's temple filled with glory. "And I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts." I. VIEW THIS DIVINE PROMISE AS FULFILLED IN THE ADVENT OF CHRIST TO THIS PARTICULAR SANCTUARY FOR GOD . 1 . Thither the Child Jesus was taken in his infancy by Joseph and Mary, that they might present him before the Lord. So far as material splendour was concerned, no trace of it was to be seen in this introduction of the Child Jesus to that house. The... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Haggai 2:5

The words which I covenanted - The words stand more forcibly, because abruptly. It is an exclamation which cannot be forced into any grammatical relation with the preceding. The more exact idiom would have been “Remember,” “take to heart.” But the prophet points to it the more energetically, because he casts it, as it were, into the midst, not bound up with any one verb. This would be the rather done in speaking to the people, as David to his followers (1 Samuel 30:23, which Ewald compares,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Haggai 2:6

Yet once, it is a little while - This, the rendering of Paul to the Hebrews, is alone grammatical . “Yet once.” By the word yet he looks back to the first great shaking of the moral world, when God’s revelation by Moses and to His people broke upon the darkness of the pagan world, to be a monument against pagan error until Christ should come; once looks on, and conveys that God would again shake the world, but once only, under the one dispensation of the Gospel, which should endure to the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Haggai 2:7

And the desire of all nations shall come - The words can only mean this, the central longing of all nations He whom they longed for, either through the knowledge of Him spread by the Jews in their dispersion, or mutely by the aching craving of the human heart, longing for the restoration from its decay. “The earnest expectation of the creature” did not begin with the Coming of Christ, nor was it limited to those, who actually came to Him Romans 8:19-22. “The whole creation,” Paul saith,... read more

Haggai 2:4-5. Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel Do thou and all the rest of you exert yourselves, and proceed in rebuilding the temple with spirit and pleasure; for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts And will enable you to bring the work to a happy issue. According to the word that I covenanted with you I will fulfil to you what I promised to your ancestors, namely, that I would be their God, and that it should be well with them, if they obeyed my voice; that I would keep them from... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Haggai 2:6-7

Haggai 2:6-7. Yet once Or, once more, ετι απαξ , as the LXX. render it, whom St. Paul follows, Hebrews 12:26. The phrase implies such an alteration, or change of things, as should be permanent, and should not give place to any other, as the apostle there expounds it. The expression, says Bishop Newcome, “has a clear sense, if understood of the evangelical age: for many political revolutions succeeded, as the conquest of Darius Codomanus, and the various fortunes of Alexander’s successors;... 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

saith = hath said. once = first; as in Haggai 1:1 with Haggai 2:1 . Hebrew. 'chad = one of several. See note on Deuteronomy 6:4 . There had been shakings before; but this one would be extreme and final. Quoted in Hebrews 12:26 , Hebrews 12:27 . Greek. hapax = once for all: i.e. first, before the fulfillment of the promise given in the clause which follows. It is feminine here, and cannot agree with "little" (one little, or a little) because me'at is masculine. I will shake. See the... read more

the desire. Put by Figure of speech Metonymy (of the Adjunct), App-6 , for the object of desire, which cannot be "things", for hemdath is feminine, singular, and refers to Him Who alone can satisfy the desire of all nations. Compare 1 Samuel 9:20 . 2 Chronicles 21:20 . shall come. The verb is plural: hence some would refer it to the treasures of "silver and gold" of Haggai 2:8 . But when two nouns stand together (as here) the verb may agree in member with either noun. Here it agrees with... read more
