Haggai 2:1-7 · KJV

In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying, Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying, Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts: According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not. For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.

Receive the word

Contemplation

In the battle of life, the Lord has thought us to put our trust in Him and wait for the full manifestation of the victory that comes from God alone. Sometimes, the enemy tries to frustrate our efforts to make it look like there is no success in what we have believed in, but the Lord our God is too faithful to fail. Our God is mightily at work beyond our calculations and to Him alone be all the glory honor and adoration. Amen. The word of the Lord says, in the book of Haggai chapter 2 from verse one, “In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, in the second year of Darius king [of Persia], came the word of the Lord by the prophet Haggai, saying, 2 Speak now to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remainder of the people, saying, 3 Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? And how do you see it now? Is not this in your sight as nothing in comparison to that?” It was in the second year of Darius the king of Persia that the word of the Lord was documented to have come through Haggai His servant. This further substantiated that these people are people who lived in the time of the Lord and who saw this house in its former glory. Beloved, if anyone had the divine word from the Lord, where they had the opportunity to speak to the people of God. If you saw the glory of the former house, you will understand why they rejoice after this glory, because this is nothing compared to what they have missed. There are dimensions of glory that seem too impossible to be real, but the truth is that they were once upon a time, the house of the Lord on earth. It seems so impossible now but the Lord says 4, “Yet now be strong, alert, and courageous, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; be strong, alert, and courageous, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, alert, and courageous, all you people of the land, says the Lord, and work! For I am with you, says the Lord of hosts.” The major opportunity is the fact that it is the Lord who was with the people in the former glory that is now with us. The dimension of the manifestation is so different but the Lord in His mercies decide to glorify His name. In verse 5 the Spirit of the Lord said, “According to the promise that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit stands and abides in the midst of you; fear not. 6 For thus says the Lord of hosts: Yet once more, in a little while, I will shake and make tremble the [starry] heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land;” Beloved, God Almighty has a great and glorious plan that will shock everyone. When we have the opportunity to see this beautiful and glorious temple, it will become obvious that there will be no fear of us missing it again, for no unclean will be found there. Hallelujah! In verse 7 the word of the Lord says to us, “And I will shake all nations and the desire and the precious things of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with splendor, says the Lord of hosts.” If the Lord of Host decides to shake a place and fill it with glory, there is nothing anyone can do to stop God Almighty. There is a degree of glory unfolding before the Lord right now, please don’t miss it for any reason.

Practical issues

There is a dimension of glory that is far greater than that which has been seen on the face of the earth by anyone. The amazing thing is that in the presence of the Lord, it will be so abundant like the dust of the earth. Please don’t miss this for any reason. Shalom!
