Cross-References
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
God called the dry ground "land" and the waters "seas." And God saw that it was good.
And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.
This is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth. When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth. For the Lord God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate the soil.
Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he placed the man he had made.
The first branch, called the Pishon, flowed around the entire land of Havilah, where gold is found.
The second branch, called the Gihon, flowed around the entire land of Cush.
For in six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.
It is a permanent sign of my covenant with the people of Israel. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day he stopped working and was refreshed.'"
Gill's Notes on the Bible
In the seventh [month],.... The month Tisri, which answers to part of September and part of October:
in the one and twentieth [day] of the month; being a month, wanting three days, from the time the Jews came and worked in the house of the Lord, Haggai 1:14 it was toward the close of the feast of tabernacles: see Leviticus 23:34:
came the word of the Lord by the Prophet Haggai; the word of prophecy, as the Targum: this was from the Lord, not from the prophet himself; he was only the messenger sent with it to deliver it:
saying; to him the prophet, giving him orders as follow:
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month - This was the seventh day of the feast of tabernacles, Leviticus 23:34, Leviticus 23:36, Leviticus 23:40-42. and its close. The eighth day was to be a sabbath, with its “holy convocation,” but the commemorative feast, the dwelling in booths, in memory of God’s bringing them out of Egypt, was to last seven days. The close then of this feast could not but revive their sadness at the glories of their first deliverance by God’s “mighly hand and outstretched arm,” and their present fewness and poverty. This depression could not but bring with it heavy thoughts about the work, in which they were, in obedience to God, engaged; and that, all the more, since Isaiah and Ezekiel had prophesied of the glories of the Christian Church under the symbol of the temple. This despondency Haggai is sent to relieve, owning plainly the reality of its present grounds, but renewing, on God’s part, the pledge of the glories of this second temple, which should be thereafter.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER II
When this prophecy was uttered, about four years before the
temple was finished, and sixty-eight after the former one was
destroyed, it appears that some old men among the Jews were
greatly dispirited on account of its being so much inferior in
magnificence to that of Solomon. Compare Ezra 3:12.
To raise the spirits of the people, and encourage them to
proceed with the work, the prophet assures them that the glory
of the second temple should be greater than that of the first,
alluding perhaps to the glorious doctrines which should be
preached in it by Jesus Christ and his apostles, 1-9.
He then shows the people that the oblations brought by their
priests could not sanctify them while they were unclean by
their neglect of the temple; and to convince them that the
difficult times they had experienced during that neglect
proceeded from this cause, he promises fruitful seasons from
that day forward, 10-19.
The concluding verses contain a prediction of the mighty
revolutions that should take place by the setting up of the
kingdom of Christ under the type of Zerubbabel, 20-23.
As the time which elapsed between the date of the prophecy and
the dreadful concussion of nations is termed in Haggai 2:6,
A LITTLE WHILE, the words may likewise have reference to some
temporal revolutions then near, such as the commotions of
Babylon in the reign of Darius, the Macedonian conquests in
Persia, and the wars between the successors of Alexander; but
the aspect of the prophecy is more directly to the amazing
victories of the Romans, who, in the time of Haggai and
Zechariah, were on the VERY EVE of their successful career, and
in the lapse of a few centuries subjugated the whole habitable
globe; and therefore, in a very good sense, God may be said by
these people to have shaken "the heavens, and the earth, and
the sea, and the dry land;" and thus to have prepared the way
for the opening of the Gospel dispensation. See Hebrews 12:25-29.
Others have referred this prophecy to the period of our Lord's
second advent, to which there is no doubt it is also
applicable; and when it will be in the most signal manner
fulfilled. That the convulsion of the nations introducing this
most stupendous event will be very great and terrible, is
sufficiently plain from Isaiah xxxiv., xxxv., as well as from
many other passages of holy writ.
