Haggai 2

Haggai encourages Zerubbabel, Yehoshua, and the people on the 21st day of the seventh month to be strong in rebuilding the temple, promising that its latter glory will surpass the former as YHWH shakes the nations and fills the house with glory, granting shalom[1][3][5]. On the 24th day of the ninth month, he illustrates via priests that defilement spreads but holiness does not, declaring past neglect uncleaned their labor but now YHWH will bless them; he then chooses Zerubbabel as his signet ring after shaking heavens and earth[1][5].
