The glory of the latter days
Haggai 2:9 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.
In these divine words, we are reminded that our Heavenly Father promises a glory in the latter days that surpasses all that has come before. It is a message of hope, renewal, and God's unwavering faithfulness to His people.
Considering the historical context of Haggai's prophecy. The Israelites had returned from exile, and they were tasked with rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem.
Despite the challenges and the memories of the former glory of Solomon's temple, God speaks through Haggai to assure them that the glory of the latter days will exceed anything they have known.
Today, we, too, find ourselves in a world filled with challenges and uncertainties. The struggles we face may seem insurmountable, and the glory of the past may cast a shadow over our present circumstances. However, let us hold onto the promise that God has something greater in store for us.
The latter days are not only a future promise but a call to action in the present. As we navigate the complexities of life, let us be diligent in building our spiritual "temples", the dwelling places of God within us. Our commitment to faith, love, and compassion is the foundation upon which the glory of the latter days will be built.
In our individual and collective journeys, let us remember that God's glory is not confined to the grandeur of external structures but resides within the hearts of His people. The glory of the latter days is an invitation to deepen our relationship with God, to seek His guidance, and to trust in His promises.
As we embark on this spiritual journey together, let us embrace the challenges with faith and perseverance. Just as the Israelites faced obstacles in rebuilding the temple, we may encounter trials in our lives. Yet, through it all, let us trust that God's promise of peace will prevail.
In conclusion, God never fails in His promises to His people, we should not be overwhelmed with by the challenges and falls we experienced in the past, but we should hold unto God's word and wait for its fulfilment, for whatever He has promised us will surely come to pass.
God bless you.
