The Coming Glory of God’s House
2 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, the word of the Lord came 1by Haggai the prophet, saying: 2 “Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying: 3 a‘Who is left among you who saw this 2temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? In comparison with it, bis this not in your eyes as nothing? 4 Yet now cbe strong, Zerubbabel,’ says the Lord; ‘and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the Lord, ‘and work; for I am with you,’ says the Lord of hosts. 5 d‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so eMy Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’
6 “For thus says the Lord of hosts: f‘Once more (it is a little while) gI will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to hthe 3Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this 4temple with iglory,’ says the Lord of hosts. 8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. 9 j‘The glory of this latter 5temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give kpeace,’ says the Lord of hosts.”

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
