Commentary on Haggai 2:6

Theological / Devotional

Lord of hosts. See on Jer. 7:3.

Yet once. Or, “once again.” That the people might learn to accept and value highly the Second Temple, Haggai predicts that in the future its glory will greatly surpass that of Solomon’s Temple. By the use of the word “yet” or “again,” the prophet refers back to previous manifestations of God’s power, including probably the shaking of the earth in connection with the giving of the law on Mt. Sinai (see on Ps. 68:7, 8).
