The Coming Glory of the Temple

2^cIn the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet: ²“Speak now to ^dZerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to ^dJoshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say, ^3e‘Who is left among you who saw this house ^fin its former glory? How do you see it now? ^gIs it not as nothing in your eyes? ⁴Yet now ^hbe strong, O ^dZerubbabel, declares the Lord. ^hBe strong, O ^dJoshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. ^hBe strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. ⁱWork, for ^jI am with you, declares the Lord of hosts, ^5kaccording to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. ^lMy Spirit remains in your midst. ^mFear not. ⁶For thus says the Lord of hosts: ⁿYet once more, in a little while, ^oI 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 ^pI will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts. ^8qThe silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts. ^9rThe latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And ^sin this place I will give peace, declares the Lord of hosts.’ ”
