Commentaries on Haggai 2:9

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9And 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…Read the comment
