Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
And in this place will I give peace - שלום shalom a peace-offering, as well as peace itself; or Jesus Christ, who is called the Prince of peace, through whom peace is proclaimed between God and man, between man and his fellows; and through whom peace is established in the disconsolate soul. And at this temple this peace was first promulgated and proclaimed. But it is said that the glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former. Now this cannot be said because Jesus Christ made his personal appearance in that temple, or rather in that built by Herod; for, though we allow that Jesus Christ is equal with God, we do not grant that he is greater. Now the first temple was the dwelling-place of God: here he manifested his glory between the cherubim, and it was his constant residence for more than four hundred years. But the glory of this latter house was greater because under it the grand scheme of human salvation was exhibited, and the redemption price paid down for a lost world. As all probably applies to the Christian Church, the real house of God, its glory was most certainly greater than any glory which was ever possessed by that of the Jews. See on Hag 2:22-23 (note).
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
The glory of this latter house . . . greater than of the former--namely, through the presence of Messiah, in (whose) face is given the light of the knowledge of the glory of God (Co2 4:6; compare Heb 1:2), and who said of Himself, "in this place is one greater than the temple" (Mat 12:6), and who "sat daily teaching in it" (Mat 26:55). Though Zerubbabel's temple was taken down to the foundations when Herod rebuilt the temple, the latter was considered, in a religious point of view, as not a third temple, but virtually the second temple. in this place . . . peace--namely, at Jerusalem, the metropolis of the kingdom of God, whose seat was the temple: where Messiah "made peace through the blood of His cross" (Col 1:20). Thus the "glory" consists in this "peace." This peace begins by the removal of the difficulty in the way of the just God accepting the guilty (Psa 85:8, Psa 85:10; Isa 9:6-7; Isa 53:5; Zac 6:13; Co2 5:18-19); then it creates peace in the sinner's own heart (Isa 57:19; Act 10:36; Rom 5:1; Rom 14:17; Eph 2:13-17; Phi 4:7); then peace in the whole earth (Mic 5:5; Luk 2:14). First peace between God and man, then between man and God, then between man and man (Isa 2:4; Hos 2:18; Zac 9:10). As "Shiloh" (Gen 49:10) means peace, this verse confirms the view that Hag 2:7, "the desire of all nations," refers to Shiloh or Messiah, foretold in Gen 49:10.
John Gill Bible Commentary
In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month,.... The month Chisleu, which answers to part of November, and part of December: this was two months and three days after the former discourse or prophecy, and just three months from the time the Jews began to work in the house of the Lord, Hag 1:14 in the second year of Darius; the same year that all the former discourses and prophecies were delivered in: came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet; for what he delivered was not his own, but from the Lord; he was only his minister and messenger. The Vulgate Latin version, and so Munster, render it, "unto Haggai the prophet"; and indeed what is said following seems to be directed to him, and he is the only person that put the questions directed to: saying; as follows:
Tyndale Open Study Notes
2:9 future glory: Haggai might have in mind the Messiah’s coming to his Temple (see Mal 3:1). Jesus was presented in the Lord’s Temple as an infant (Luke 2:22), and he taught there as an adult (Luke 19:45-47). Jesus, the human Word of God, is greater than the Temple (Matt 12:6; see John 2:13-22). Although it was recognized by only a few, Jesus’ presence in the Temple far outshone the glory in the Tabernacle at the time of Moses and in Solomon’s Temple (cp. Luke 2:29-32). • in this place I will bring peace: The priestly benediction (Num 6:24-26) was pronounced as part of the Temple liturgy. In the last days, God would make a covenant of peace with Israel (Ezek 34:25; 37:26). The good result of rebuilding the Temple was a guarantee on that future peace.
Haggai 2:9
The Coming Glory of God’s House
8The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, declares the LORD of Hosts. 9The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former, says the LORD of Hosts. And in this place I will provide peace, declares the LORD of Hosts.”

By Major Ian Thomas5.9K1:19:03Ark Of The CovenantDEU 12:72CH 5:14HAG 2:5HAG 2:9HEB 9:2In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the need for a radical transformation of character through the power of God.

The preacher highlights the importance of moving forward and enjoying the blessings that God has provided, rather than dwelling on the past. He also references the book of Deuteronomy, where Moses instructs the people to observe God's statutes and judgments in the land they were given.

Through the Bible - Zephaniah, Haggai
By Zac Poonen2.9K55:46Through The BibleHAG 1:3HAG 1:8HAG 2:3HAG 2:9ZEC 8:16JHN 3:16ACT 20:35In this sermon, the speaker addresses the issue of leaders in the church who are seeking their own gain and focusing on money. He emphasizes that these leaders are not representing the true Jesus who taught that it is more blessed to give than to receive. The speaker also highlights the importance of leaders being obedient to God's commands and not being indifferent to sin. He encourages building a body ministry where everyone functions together, rather than having a one-man show. The sermon concludes with the reminder that to be a messenger of the Lord, one must first allow God to work in their own life.

By Roy Hession1.6K47:28RebuildingLEV 25:2EZR 3:1PSA 85:10HAG 2:91PE 2:24The video shown in the sermon was a documentary made by a television network in America, showcasing testimonies of people who had been reached by Jesus. The speaker was deeply moved by the revelations shared in the film, witnessing the transformation and grace that had reached these individuals. However, the sermon also highlights the danger of looking back and being obsessed with the past, rather than embracing the new things that God is doing in the present. The sermon then transitions to discussing the period of restoration after the captivity of the Israelites, emphasizing God's continued purpose of grace despite their failures.

Will the Real Messiah Please Rise?
By Michael L. Brown1.0K1:23:50ISA 42:10ISA 49:6ISA 52:13DAN 9:24HAG 2:9MAL 3:1MAT 6:33In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding the prophecies about the Gentiles and the Messiah. He challenges the audience to examine their lives and see if they are living in accordance with the reality of who the Messiah is. The speaker highlights that seeking God requires earnest and honest effort, and that the Messiah is the ideal Israel who will fulfill what Israel was created to do. Despite the rejection and ignorance of many Jewish people towards Jesus, the speaker imagines the Messiah looking out at the lost sheep of Israel and feeling a sense of waste, but ultimately trusting in God's plan to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel.

By being rooted and grounded in love, believers can experience the fullness of God and comprehend the depth of His love. The sermon also touches on the concept of finding rest in Jesus and the need for preparation in order to fulfill God's intentions.
Like the Cedars of Lebanon
By Charles E. Cowman0PSA 48:12ISA 62:3HAG 2:9JHN 13:7Charles E. Cowman preaches about the mystery of God's plan in our lives, using the analogy of the cedar tree from Lebanon being cut down to be placed in the Temple of God. Just like the cedar tree, God's dealings in our lives may seem dark and mysterious, but He has a noble purpose to make us pillars in His Heavenly Zion. Despite not understanding the trials we face, we are called to trust in God's guidance and follow Him faithfully, knowing that He has a greater glory in store for us.
The Pattern of the Tent
By George Warnock0EXO 25:40HAG 2:9JHN 2:19EPH 1:22HEB 8:5HEB 10:1George Warnock delves into the significance of the heavenly pattern shown to Moses on the mount, emphasizing that the Levitical order was a shadow of heavenly things, not the perfect representation. He challenges the notion that Christ's sacrifice is insufficient by highlighting the full efficacy of the blood of Christ to take away all sin. Warnock explores the evolving patterns of God's temples and tabernacles, culminating in Christ as the ultimate manifestation of the heavenly Temple. He stresses the importance of God's new order and the greater glory He has in mind, urging believers to anticipate and align with God's unfolding plans.
