- Haggai 2:7 the Desire of All Nations, i.e., Christ the Messiah, literally, “the Treasures” or “that which is choice.” But many commentators prefer this rendering: “the treasures of the nations will pour into this Temple, and I will fill it with splendor.”
- Haggai 2:8 I will give peace, i.e., peace with God through Christ who, 500 years later, came often to this Temple.
