Verse 9 of 23
Commentary
Commentary on Haggai 2:9
Theological / DevotionalGlory. Because of the presence of Christ the “glory” of the Second Temple (see on v. 7) was “greater” than that of the former. The Second Temple was honored with the living presence of One in whom “dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Col. 2:9). For a discussion of God’s purpose for the Jews following their return from captivity see pp. 27-30.
Peace. The presence of “the Prince of Peace” would bring to mankind all the blessings that accompany peace (see on Jer. 6:14). The announcement of the birth of Jesus, made by the angelic host to the shepherds of Bethlehem, was a message of peace: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:14).
