Haggaeus 2

Studie

   

1 In die vigesima et quarta mensis, in sexto mense, in anno secundo Darii regis.

2 In septimo mense, vigesima et prima mensis, factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggæi prophetæ, dicens :

3 Loquere ad Zorobabel, filium Salathiel, ducem Juda, et ad Jesum, filium Josedec, sacerdotem magnum, et ad reliquos populi, dicens :

4 Quis in vobis est derelictus, qui vidit domum istam in gloria sua prima ? et quid vos videtis hanc nunc ? numquid non ita est, quasi non sit in oculis vestris ?

5 Et nunc confortare, Zorobabel, dicit Dominus ; et confortare, Jesu, fili Josedec, sacerdos magne ; et confortare, omnis populus terræ, dicit Dominus exercituum : et facite (quoniam ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus exercituum)

6 verbum quod pepigi vobiscum cum egrederemini de terra Ægypti : et spiritus meus erit in medio vestrum : nolite timere.

7 Quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Adhuc unum modicum est, et ego commovebo cælum, et terram, et mare, et aridam.

8 Et movebo omnes gentes, et veniet desideratus cunctis gentibus : et implebo domum istam gloria, dicit Dominus exercituum.

9 Meum est argentum, et meum est aurum, dicit Dominus exercituum.

10 Magna erit gloria domus istius novissimæ plus quam primæ, dicit Dominus exercituum : et in loco isto dabo pacem, dicit Dominus exercituum.

11 In vigesima et quarta noni mensis, in anno secundo Darii regis, factum est verbum Domini ad Aggæum prophetam, dicens :

12 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Interroga sacerdotes legem, dicens :

13 Si tulerit homo carnem sanctificatam in ora vestimenti sui, et tetigerit de summitate ejus panem, aut pulmentum, aut vinum, aut oleum, aut omnem cibum, numquid sanctificabitur ? Respondentes autem sacerdotes, dixerunt : Non.

14 Et dixit Aggæus : Si tetigerit pollutus in anima ex omnibus his, numquid contaminabitur ? Et responderunt sacerdotes, et dixerunt : Contaminabitur.

15 Et respondit Aggæus, et dixit : Sic populus iste, et sic gens ista ante faciem meam, dicit Dominus, et sic omne opus manuum eorum : et omnia quæ obtulerunt ibi, contaminata erunt.

16 Et nunc ponite corda vestra a die hac et supra, antequam poneretur lapis super lapidem in templo Domini.

17 Cum accederetis ad acervum viginti modiorum, et fierent decem ; et intraretis ad torcular, ut exprimeretis quinquaginta lagenas, et fiebant viginti.

18 Percussi vos vento urente, et aurugine, et grandine omnia opera manuum vestrarum : et non fuit in vobis qui reverteretur ad me, dicit Dominus.

19 Ponite corda vestra ex die ista, et in futurum, a die vigesima et quarta noni mensis : a die qua fundamenta jacta sunt templi Domini, ponite super cor vestrum.

20 Numquid jam semen in germine est, et adhuc vinea, et ficus, et malogranatum, et lignum olivæ non floruit ? ex die ista benedicam.

21 Et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad Aggæum in vigesima et quarta mensis, dicens :

22 Loquere ad Zorobabel ducem Juda, dicens : Ego movebo cælum pariter et terram,

23 et subvertam solium regnorum, et conteram fortitudinem regni gentium : et subvertam quadrigam et ascensorem ejus, et descendent equi, et ascensores eorum, vir in gladio fratris sui.

24 In die illa, dicit Dominus exercituum, assumam te, Zorobabel, fili Salathiel, serve meus, dicit Dominus : et ponam te quasi signaculum, quia te elegi, dicit Dominus exercituum.

Exploring the Meaning of Haggai 2

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff

In Chapter 2, Haggai comes a second time to Zerubbabel and Joshua, saying,

"Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?"

In verses 4-5 he encourages the people to be strong and persevere and in verses 6-9, he promises a great change coming. The Lord will bring about this change because an external church, a church that is just performing rituals, is of no use.

Only a church that leads people to do well in their lives, and in in their thoughts, because that is what the Lord says, is of any use. Once this truth has been falsified, or made “unclean” there is not much left of the church (verses 10-14).

Although there are abundant truths in the Word, in a church that is only external they are not found, because there is no use for them. In spite of the peoples' hardships, no one has bothered to question what they might be doing wrong.

From verse 18 Haggai’s prophecy becomes triumphant. "The seed is yet in the barn and the fig tree and the vine will come." The promise in verse 6 is repeated, "I will shake the heavens and the earth, and the sea and the dry land", i.e. He will overthrow all those who follow their own doctrine and their own false ideas.

The Lord will bring another church that is not the reconstructed ancient church or its representation, but a church built from a new knowledge of the Lord, and a new set of people. This, though not soon, will be the coming of the Lord himself. Zerubbabel is used to represent this as a shining signet, because, though governor, he was not of the Jewish people.

Haggai 2:10-14

Studie

      

10 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,

11 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,

12 If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.

13 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.

14 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
