Haggai 1:13

Then; when the people showed their obedience, and the willingness of their minds, then God encourageth them by his prophet. Messenger; legate or envoy, the Hebrew word signifieth also an angel; but this is not surf, clout to prove their opinion, who dream that Haggai was not a man, but an angel in the form of a man; the word here used (arising from a word that signifieth to send, and paraphrased by a word that primarily signifieth to send as messengers are sent) doth speak an angel from his office and work, as he ministereth before the Lord, and runneth swiftly on his errand; it speaketh not the nature or essence of angels, as they are spirits. The French version (which I use, printed at Rochelle, 1616) reads it, like ours, ambassador. So Haggai was God's messenger or ambassador to his people; no angel. In the Lord's message; as becometh an ambassador. in the words of his master, so Haggai delivered the Lord's message. Unto the people; not excluding the governors; but the people are only mentioned, for that the prophet spake to the whole assembly, or because the Lord would encourage them most, who most needed encouragement. I am with you; a great promise, and which contains all they can need or desire; it insureth God's presence always with them, and his assistance always to them, and his blessing always upon them. He will be always for, as well as always with them, and then Tatnai, Shethar-bozhal, Sanballat, and all other conspirators with them, shall not prevail to hinder the work. Such a promise as this, see Exodus 3:12, Exodus 4:11-13 Matthew 28:20 Romans 8:31 2 Corinthians 12:9. Saith the Lord: this solemn attestation addeth weight to the promise.
