12 Y oyó Zorobabel hijo de Sealtiel, y Josué hijo de Josadac, gran sacerdote, y todo el demás pueblo, la voz de Jehová su Dios, y las palabras del porfeta Haggeo, como lo había enviado Jehová el Dios de ellos; y temió el pueblo delante de Jehová.

Commentary

 

Rain

  

'To rain' signifies influx. In Genesis 2:5-6, Exodus 34:25-27, and Hosea 6:3, 'rain' signifies the tranquility of peace when the combat of temptation ceases. 'An inundating rain' signifies the vastation of truth, as in Ezekiel 3:11-14. 38:23, and temptation, as in Matthew 7:24-27. In Genesis 7:4, 'rain' signifies temptation and vastation. 'Rain,' in a positive sense, denotes blessing, but in the opposite sense, damnation

Genesis 2:5-6

5 No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,

6 but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
