START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV Haggai 2:3
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?
THIS HOUSE IN ITS FORMER GLORY / HAGGAI 2:3
When the new temple was completed, some people were discouraged and disheartened because they remembered the splendor of the temple that had been destroyed over 70 years earlier. Many of these older Jews viewed the present temple as “nothing” compared to the magnificence of the first temple built by Solomon. But God encouraged the people with three promises:
- God Himself would be with them to fulfill all the promises made to their faithful ancestors (Haggai 2:4).
- God’s Spirit would remain among the people (Haggai 2:5).
The glory of God’s house in the future would be greater than anything in the past. That was because of the powerful things that eventually would take place in that temple (Haggai 2:9), including the ministry of Jesus and His followers as recorder in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) and the book of Acts. Christ Himself eventually would enter that temple when He was on earth, bringing God’s presence there in a more powerful and literal way than ever before.
