Pamphlet 1392 Haggai kc 4-2

"the time" of the "great shaking" is close at hand!

Question: Do you know why this message of Haggai is so important at this time? Because "the time" of the "great shaking" is close at hand! You see, the countdown has already begun on the final events of this flesh age and the "earthquake" of His coming, likened to the earthquake in the days of Uzziah (Amos 1:1, Zech. 14:5), draws ever so near! "Uzziah" means "Yah's Strength" for it is Yahveh Zaboath who does the shaking of the nations! Zech. 14:5 "And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee."

[6] For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
How long O Lord...(Rev. 6:10)? In a little while the FINAL, once and for all, shakedown WILL take place! This 6th verse in Haggai chapter 2 is quoted by Paul in his letter to the Hebrews.
Hebrews 12:22
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
What was that He said to us in Haggai 1:8... "Go up to the mountain..."?
[23] To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
[24] And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

[25] See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

[26] Whose voice then shook the earth: but now He hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

The Greek word for "Yet once" that Paul used here is "hapax" which means "once more", i.e. it will be the final shaking!
[27] And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
I hope you are not easily shaken! You see, "houses" whose foundations are built upon The Rock shall remain and withstand the shakings! All others shall be leveled! Luke 6:48 "He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock." So build a strong house! You know where to go to get the wood, don't you?
[28] Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

[29] For our God is a consuming fire.

Our Father wants His house completed before He comes and pours out His wrath and shakes this earth to its foundations! However, the work of Rev. 7:1-4 must be finished first. Knowing that He is patient and longsuffering, let's get to work! REMEMBER, He has promised to be with us, even through all the "shakings", and then shall the "Desire of all nations come"! Terrorists and all evil doers BEWARE of our Father and His Word for He is a consuming fire and you are stubble indeed!
Haggai 2:7
And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
The "desire of all nations" is Jesus Christ who WILL shake all nations and fill His house with His presence! He is THE GLORY thereof!
[8] The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
Remember what the LORD said in Haggai 1:8, "Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD"? Well, Haggai 2:8 makes reference to the gold and silver (glory) of the former temple, the magnificent temple of Solomon, emphasizing that the glory spoken of in vs. 7, which is Him, is far more glorious than all the gold and silver of the former house. In other words, the GLORY (analogous to gold and silver) is His, it belongs to Him! We therefore give Him all the glory!
[9] The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
There will be peace because The Prince of Peace, The Desire of Nations, will be there. Did you know that the very last words in the Book of Ezekiel are "Yahveh Shammah" which means "the LORD is there" (Ezek. 48:35)?

What a glorious time that will be!

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
