Haggai 2:9 meaning
In a time of great difficulty for the Israelites, Haggai offered a powerful message of hope and promise. The people, having returned from Babylonian exile, faced tremendous discouragement as they began to rebuild the temple which was far less glorious than Solomon's original. In Haggai's proclamation, God reassured them that even though the current temple appeared modest, its glory would ultimately surpass that of the former structure. This promise serves not only as encouragement for the builders but also as a foreshadowing of the greater blessings that would come with the future presence of the Messiah.
