Commentaries on Haggai 2:6
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens - When the law was given on Mount Sinai, there was an earthquake that shook the whole mountain, Exodus 19:18. "The political or religious revolutions which were to be effected in the world, or both, are here," says Abp. Newcome, "referred to; compare Exodus 19:21, Exodus 19:22; Matthew 24:29; Hebrews 12:26-28. The political ones began in the overthrow of the Persian monarchy by Alexander, within…Read the comment

Haggai likely saw God's ultimate judgment hinted at in events after his time, such as the fall of Persia to Greece and Greece to Rome (see Daniel 2:39–45).Read the comment
