The Latter Glory Greater Than the Former

'The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former' — the prophecy fulfilled when Yeshua, the glory of Elohim incarnate, walked through the rebuilt temple's courts.

  1. The Greater Glory of This Temple

    The older builders weep because the new temple seems inferior. But Elohim says: be strong, My Ruach is with you.

  2. 1In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, YHWH’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
  3. 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,
  4. 3‘Who is left amongst you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Isn’t it in your eyes as nothing?
  5. 4Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says YHWH. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ says YHWH, ‘and work, for I am with you,’ says YHWH Tzeva'ot.
  6. 5This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Ruach lived amongst you. ‘Don’t be afraid.’
  7. The Desire of All Nations Will Come — the Hope of Mashiach

    The desire of all nations will come, and Elohim will fill this house with glory. This points to Yeshua entering the temple.

  8. 6For this is what YHWH Tzeva'ot says: ‘Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land;Fulfilled · Ivrim 12:26
  9. 7and I will shake all nations. The treasure of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says YHWH Tzeva'ot.
  10. 8The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says YHWH Tzeva'ot.
  11. 9‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says YHWH Tzeva'ot; ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ says YHWH Tzeva'ot.”Fulfilled · Yochanan 14:27
  12. Kodesh and Unclean

    A lesson from the priests: holiness doesn't transfer by contact, but uncleanness does. Guard your heart.

  13. 10In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, YHWH’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
  14. 11“YHWH Tzeva'ot says: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
  15. 12‘If someone carries kodesh meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become kodesh?’” The priests answered, “No.”
  16. 13Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” The priests answered, “It will be unclean.”
  17. 14Then Haggai answered, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before me,’ says YHWH; ‘and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean.
  18. 15Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in YHWH’s temple.
  19. 16Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only twenty.
  20. 17I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you didn’t turn to me,’ says YHWH.
  21. 18‘Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of YHWH’s temple was laid, consider it.
  22. 19Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven’t produced. From today I will bless you.’”
  23. Elohim Will Shake the Heavens and the Earth

    Elohim will shake the heavens and the earth. In the final shaking, only His kingdom remains unshakeable.

  24. 20YHWH’s word came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
  25. 21“Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, ‘I will shake the heavens and the earth.
  26. 22I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.
  27. 23In that day, says YHWH Tzeva'ot, I will take you, Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says YHWH, ‘and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ says YHWH Tzeva'ot.”
