What does Haggai 2:10 Mean?

Verse Meaning

Another prophecy came from the Lord on the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month of520 B.C. (Kislev24 , December18). This date holds particular significance because it was on this day, five years later, that the temple was rededicated.The Jews celebrated this event with the Feast of Chanukah (lit. Dedication) and still do.During the two months between this prophecy and the former one ( Haggai 2:1-9), Zechariah began his ministry in Jerusalem ( Zechariah 1:1).

Context Summary

Haggai 2:10-23 - God's Judgment Upon The Nations
Two months after the foregoing prophecy, the prophet again remonstrated with the people for still neglecting the Temple, though they appear to have maintained religious rites. As the holy flesh did not sanctify what it touched, so religious observance did not compensate for neglecting the Temple; such neglect would make their service unclean, Haggai 2:14. The earnest toils of the people had met with persistent unsuccess because God was against them, but from the moment of their repentance He would bless them, Haggai 2:18-19. Amid all the upheavals described in Haggai 2:7 the Jews would be preserved, and their safety guaranteed. Disturbances preceded the Savior's first advent, as they will the second; but amid the shaking and overthrowing that are ushering in the new era, let us not fear. All that cannot be shaken will remain; and as God remembered Noah amid the tossings of the deluge, He will care for us, not because of our deserts, but because of His grace. We did not choose Him, but He us [source]
