Commentary

Commentary on Haggai 2:23

Theological / Devotional

Signet. Heb. chotham, a “seal,” or “a seal ring”; regarded as an object of great importance, authority, and value (see on Jer. 22:24). These wonderful words of promise to Zerubbabel should bring encouragement to all of God’s children. “God will not suffer one of His truehearted workers to be left alone to struggle against great odds and be overcome. He preserves as a precious jewel everyone whose life is hid with Christ in God. Of every such an one He says: ‘I . . . will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee’” (7T 67).

Lord of hosts. See on Jer. 7:3. These words of promise are spoken by the Commander of the armies of the universe, an assurance that His promises will be fulfilled.
