Haggai 2:6-9

Gods’ mercies are new every morning. And in His house there will be peace.


This is a new day, a new beginning, that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it!


Haggai 2:6-9

6 “For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts. 8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. 9 ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.”


The coming of Yahweh is figuratively described as an earthquake. It indicates a future period in which all nations will come to Jerusalem to worship. The future temple will once again be filled with His glory. Since Yahweh will be king over the whole earth, the silver and gold are rightfully His. Peace will be the result of the coming of the King. Faithlife Bible.


The purpose of the day of the Lord is to prepare the earth for the glorious reign of Jesus Christ on earth. Some interpret these words as a messianic title that speaks of the joy of the redeemed of the nations at the time of the rule of King Jesus. 


God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, the gold in all coffers, and the wealth of all nations.


Peace includes good health, well-being, and an abundant life. The term speaks of everything being as it ought to be. NKJ Bible.


The shaking of nations implies judgments of wrath on the foes of God’s people, to precede the reign of the Prince of peace. The kingdoms of the world are but the scaffolding for God’s spiritual temple, to be thrown down when their purpose is accomplished. The transitoriness of all that is earthly should lead men to seek “peace” in Messiah’s everlasting kingdom. Moore


Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak, for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.


Psalm 85:9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land.


Isaiah 60:7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall ascend with acceptance on My altar, and I will glorify the house of My glory.
