Footnotes

  1. 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.”
  2. Haggai 2:8 I will give peace, i.e., peace with God through Christ who, 500 years later, came often to this Temple.

I will shake all nations, and what is desired(A) by all nations will come, and I will fill this house(B) with glory,(C)’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘The silver is mine and the gold(D) is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘The glory(E) of this present house(F) will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,(G)’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
