Haggai 2:6-9
Living Bible
6 “For the Lord Almighty says, ‘In just a little while I will begin to shake the heavens and earth—and the oceans, too, and the dry land. 7 I will shake all nations, and the Desire of All Nations[a] shall come to this Temple, and I will fill this place with my glory,’ says the Lord Almighty. 8-9 ‘The future splendor of this Temple will be greater than the splendor of the first one! For I have plenty of silver and gold to do it! And here I will give peace,’[b] says the Lord.”

- Haggai 2:7 the Desire of All Nations, i.e., Christ the Messiah, literally, “the Treasures” or “that which is choice.” But many commentators prefer this rendering: “the treasures of the nations will pour into this Temple, and I will fill it with splendor.”
- Haggai 2:8 I will give peace, i.e., peace with God through Christ who, 500 years later, came often to this Temple.
