Haggai 2:7 – “I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

Haggai, like many of the prophets, gave wonderful revelations about the Messiah who would come later.  This was the Lord Jesus, of course.  In this passage, Haggai points to the last days, when God’s judgment is poured out in full measure on the world, as described in the Book of Revelation.  This warning of judgment, though, contains a precious promise of grace and redemption: at the time that all nations are being shaken, the Lord Jesus will return, who is the fulfillment of every heart’s longing.
