The Coming Glory of the Temple

2In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by the hand of Haggai the prophet,H7637H259H6242H2320H1697H3068H3027H5030H2292H559 2"Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say,H559H2216H1121H7597H6346H3063H3091H1121H3087H1419H3548H7611H5971H559 3'Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not as nothing in your eyes?H7604H7200H1004H7223H3519H7200H5869H3644 4Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares the LORD. Be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the LORD. Work, for I am with you, declares the LORD of hosts,H2388H2216H5002H3068H2388H3091H1121H3087H1419H3548H2388H5971H776H5002H3068H6213H5002H3068H6635 5according to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. My Spirit remains in your midst. Fear not.H1697H3772H3318H4714H7307H5975H8432H3372 6For thus says the LORD of hosts: Yet once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land.H559H3068H6635H259H4592H7493H8064H776H3220H2724 7And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of hosts.H7493H1471H2532H1471H935H4390H1004H3519H559H3068H6635 8The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the LORD of hosts.H3701H2091H5002H3068H6635 9The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, declares the LORD of hosts.'"H3519H314H1004H1419H7223H5002H3068H6635H4725H5414H7965H559H3068H6635

Blessings for a Defiled People

10On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet,H702H6242H8671H8147H8141H1867H1697H3068H3027H2292H5030H559 11"Thus says the LORD of hosts: Ask the priests about the law:H559H3068H6635H7592H3548H8451H559 12'If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment and touches with his fold bread or stew or wine or oil or any kind of food, does it become holy?'" The priests answered and said, "No."H376H5375H6944H1320H3671H899H3671H5060H3899H5138H3196H8081H3978H6942H3548H6030H559 13Then Haggai said, "If someone who is unclean by contact with a dead body touches any of these, does it become unclean?" The priests answered and said, "It does become unclean."H559H2292H2931H5315H5060H2930H3548H6030H559H2930 14Then Haggai answered and said, "So is it with this people, and with this nation before me, declares the LORD, and so with every work of their hands. And what they offer there is unclean.H6030H2292H559H5971H1471H6440H5002H3068H4639H3027H7126H2931 15Now then, consider from this day onward. Before stone was placed upon stone in the temple of the LORD,H7760H3824H3117H4605H2962H68H7760H68H1964H3068 16how did you fare? When one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty.H935H6194H6242H6235H935H3342H2834H2572H6333H6242 17I struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and with mildew and with hail, yet you did not turn to me, declares the LORD.H5221H7711H3420H1259H4639H3027H5002H3068 18Consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider:H7760H3824H3117H4605H702H6242H3117H8671H3117H3245H3068H1964H7760H3824 19Is the seed yet in the barn? Indeed, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have yielded nothing. But from this day on I will bless you."H2233H4035H1612H8384H7416H2132H6086H5375H3117H1288

Zerubbabel Chosen as a Signet

20The word of the LORD came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month,H8145H1697H3068H2292H702H6242H2320H559 21"Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I am about to shake the heavens and the earth,H559H2216H6346H3063H559H7493H8064H776 22and to overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, and overthrow the chariots and their riders. And the horses and their riders shall go down, every one by the sword of his brother.H2015H3678H4467H8045H2392H4467H1471H2015H4818H7392H5483H7392H3381H376H2719H251 23On that day, declares the LORD of hosts, I will take you, O Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel, declares the LORD, and make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you, declares the LORD of hosts."H3117H5002H3068H6635H3947H2216H5650H1121H7597H5002H3068H7760H2368H977H5002H3068H6635
