Top Highlights
“If our priorities are wrong, nothing will satisfy us” (Haggai 1:5–6)
“This was the real problem—not that God’s people lived in paneled houses, but that they lived in such personal comfort and luxury while the temple was in ruins.” (Haggai 1:3–4)
“because He saw their excuses and poor priorities and noticed that they were not living like His people” (Haggai 1:2)
“They shall come to the Desire of All Nations: Through the centuries, most see this as a prophecy of the Messiah coming to this temple rebuilt in the days of Haggai and Ezra. This understanding began with the ancient rabbis and continued among Christians, and fits in well with the promise of filling the temple with glory.” (Haggai 2:6–9)
“Once more … I will shake heaven and earth: This is the only portion of Haggai quoted in the New Testament (Hebrews 12:26).” (Haggai 2:6–9)
