How do you see it now? #[Zech. 4:10]Is it not as nothing in your eyes? 4Yet now #Zech. 8:9; [Zech. 4:6, 7] be strong, O #[See ver. 2 above] Zerubbabel, declares the Lord. #Zech. 8:9; [Zech. 4:6, 7] Be strong, O #[See ver. 2 above] Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. #Zech. 8:9; [Zech. 4:6, 7] Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. #[ch. 1:14] Work, for #ch. 1:13I am with you, declares the Lord of hosts, 5#See Ex. 29:45 according to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. #Neh. 9:20 My Spirit remains in your midst. #Zech. 8:13, 15Fear not. 6For thus says the Lord of hosts: #Cited Heb. 12:26 Yet once more, in a little while, #ver. 21I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. 7And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and #[Isa. 60:1]I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts. 8#[1 Chr. 29:14, 16]The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts. 9#[ch. 1:8] The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And #[Zech. 6:13; Eph. 2:14]in this place I will give peace, declares the Lord of hosts.’”
Blessings for a Defiled People
10 # ver. 18, 20 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, #ch. 1:1in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, 11“Thus says the Lord of hosts: #See Lev. 10:10, 11Ask the priests about the law: 12‘If someone carries #Jer. 11:15 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, #[ver. 14]“No.” 13Then Haggai said, #Lev. 22:4, 6 “If someone who is unclean by contact with a dead body #[Num. 19:22]touches any of these, does it become unclean?” The priests answered and said, “It does become unclean.” 14Then Haggai answered and said, #[Isa. 64:6]“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. 15Now then, #[ch. 1:5]consider from this day onward.#2:15 Or backward; also verse 18 Before stone was placed upon stone in the temple of the Lord, 16how did you fare? #[ch. 1:6]When#2:16 Probable reading (compare Septuagint); Hebrew Lord, since they were. 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. 17#Amos 4:9; [ch. 1:9; Deut. 28:22] I struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and with mildew and with hail, #Jer. 5:3; Amos 4:6yet you did not turn to me, declares the Lord. 18#[See ver. 15 above] Consider from this day onward, #ver. 10 from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since #Ezra 3:10; Zech. 8:9the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, #[See ver. 15 above] consider: 19#[Zech. 8:12] Is 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 #Joel 2:14I will bless you.”
Zerubbabel Chosen as a Signet
20The word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai #[See ver. 18 above]on the twenty-fourth day of the month, 21“Speak to #ch. 1:1; [Zech. 4:6] Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, #ver. 6I am about to shake the heavens and the earth, 22and #Dan. 2:44; Zech. 12:9; [Matt. 24:7] to overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, and #[Mic. 5:10] overthrow the chariots and their riders. And the horses and their riders shall go down, #[Zech. 14:13]every one by the sword of his brother. 23On that day, declares the Lord of hosts, I will take you, O #[See ver. 21 above] Zerubbabel #[Isa. 43:10] my servant, the son of #ch. 1:1 Shealtiel, declares the Lord, and make you #Jer. 22:24like a#2:23 Hebrew the signet ring, #[Isa. 43:10] for I have chosen you, declares the Lord of hosts.”
