Haggai 2 - Introduction

Chapter 2. God Will Restore His People.

This second chapter divides up into three parts, conveying three promises:

1). The promise that God will take this seemingly inadequate Temple that they have built and will make it more glorious than they could ever have dreamed of, so that it will bring blessing to all nations (Haggai 2:1).

2). The promise that from now on God will bless them in contrast with what has gone before because of their obedience (Haggai 2:10).

3). The promise of the establishment of the everlasting kingdom of which Zerubbabel, as the chosen Davidic heir, is the signet ring (Haggai 2:20).
