Haggai 2

God sends Haggai back to encourage the people when they grow discouraged by the temple project, realizing it is far less glorious than Solomon's original temple. God promises that despite its humble appearance, He will shake the heavens and the earth, and the future glory of this house will be greater than the former. God promises that in this place, He will grant peace. Haggai concludes by specifically encouraging Governor Zerubbabel, assuring him that God has chosen him and will make him like a signet ring (a symbol of authority).
