So, I am preaching through Haggai and I am at Haggai 2:6-9. I've been studying these verses for a couple of weeks now. I cannot get past these verses pointing to Christ.
Haggai and New Testament passage comparisons:
Any thoughts?
Haggai and New Testament passage comparisons:
- The "shaking of the heavens and earth" and "Immanuel, God with us" in the presence of Christ.
- The "latter glory of this house shall be greater than the formal." Jesus is the greater temple. (Matthew 12:6)
- The "treasures of all the nations coming into the temple" and the "strong man being bound and his goods being plundered" (Matthew 12:25-32) We've been plundered from the "domain of darkness" (Colossians 1:13) and united to Christ by faith.
- The "treasures of all the nations" are the elect of God from "every tribe, tongue and nation." (Revelation 7:9)
- "And in this place I will give peace." Since Jesus is the fulfillment of the temple and since peace can only be found in Him it seems to point to Jesus.
Any thoughts?
