Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Haggai 2:1-9

Haggai 2:1-1 Samuel : . Haggai’ s Sermon on October 21. Haggai 2:1 f. is mainly editorial. The work begun on Sep. 24 had consisted mainly of preparation, the actual rebuilding is now begun. Haggai 2:3 has reference to the simplicity of the design which was necessitated by the builders’ poverty. Ezra 3:12 f. is probably a picturesque inference from this passage. Ezra 1:6-1 Kings :; Ezra 6:8 ff. are at variance with the natural meaning of Haggai’ s words. Haggai 2:5 a seems to be a mutilated... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Haggai 2:9

The glory, which God intends to put upon this temple. Solomon. and a rich people, with incredible spoils taken from conquered nations, gave a glory to the first house, but God himself will give the glory of this house. This latter house, which poor captives and feudatory governors do build, this second temple: the prophet speaks of it as if it were already a house, whereas it was now to be built. What God accounts a glory, must be somewhat better than silver and gold. Greater than of the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Haggai 2:9

Haggai 2:9 I. These words refer to the first and the second temple at Jerusalem. The first temple was burnt by the Chaldees, and the wall of Jerusalem was broken down, and the people carried captive to Babylon, and it was more than fifty years after that the foundation of the second house was laid. It was an occasion to stir up mixed feelings among the people. The glory of their nation had passed away. They came back as exiles, by the permission of a foreign power, to the land that their... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Haggai 2:9

latter house In a sense all the temples (i.e Solomon's; Ezra's; Herod's; that which will be used by the unbelieving Jews under covenant with the Beast Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:3; 2 Thessalonians 2:4 and Ezekiel's future kingdom temple Ez 40.-47.), are treated as one "house"-- the "house of the Lord," since they all profess to be that. For that reason Christ purified the temple of His day, erected though it was by an Idumean usurper to please the Jews. Matthew 21:12; Matthew... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Haggai 2:1-23

Chapter 2Now in the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Haggai, saying, Speak now to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, to Joshua, and to the residue of the people, saying, Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how does it look to you now? is it not in your eyes in comparison as of nothing ( Haggai 2:1-3 )?The temple of Solomon, of course, was an extremely glorious building. It was destroyed by... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Haggai 2:1-23

Haggai 2:3 . Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? Is it not in your eyes as nothing? Josephus properly ascribes this to the poverty and weak state of the jews. The simile is a hyperbole, a figure common to all writers. Erasmus in Naufragium, describing a tempest at sea, asks his friend, Did you ever see the Alps? Being answered in the affirmative, he adds, Those mountains are mere molehills compared with the swells of the ocean. Haggai 2:4-5 . Be strong, all ye... read more

Haggai 2:8-9The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former.The superiority of the latter houseThe prophet’s declaration that the silver is the Lord’s and the gold is the Lord’s is full of comfort to those who are disquieted about their own work, if they will receive it rightly. You who are poor, who have no gold and no silver to give, is it not a comfort that God does not need silver and gold from you? Rich as some may be in the eyes of the world, and in their own eyes, in... read more

Haggai 2:9In this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.The nature, source, and means of spiritual, peaceInquire--I. Into the nature of the peace here spoken of. It includes peace with God, i.e, forgiveness, acceptance, reconciliation with Him. When this is witnessed to the soul by the Spirit of God the enmity is removed, or the will is subdued, and the affections are brought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Peace of conscience, arising from pardon of past sin, and power... read more
