Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Haggai 2:20-23

After Haggai's sermon ad populum?to the people, here follows one, the same day, ad magistratum?to the magistrates, a word directed particularly to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, who was a leading active man in this good work which the people now set about, and therefore he shall have some particular marks put upon him (Hag. 2:21): Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, speak to him by himself. He has thoughts in his head far above those of the common people, as wise princes are wont to... read more

The final message. We gather from this last recorded message of this prophet, and addressed to Zerubbabel— I. THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF JUDGING RESPECTING THE FUTURE FROM PRESENT APPEARANCES . The seer referred to coming commotions and upheavings in national life ( Haggai 2:21 , Haggai 2:22 ); but at the time he gave utterance to these intimations all was peace and tranquillity.

A personal message for Zerubbabel (2:20-23)Later the same day Haggai delivered another encouraging message, this time to Zerubbabel the governor (20). Zerubbabel was a descendant of David in the line of kings who reigned in Jerusalem, and he was entitled to the throne of Israel (Matthew 1:6-12). But because Israel was still under Persian rule he was allowed to be only governor.Despite these restrictions, Haggai encouraged Zerubbabel with the assurance that he was still God’s specially chosen... read more
