Wednesday, June 28

I will shake all the nations, and the precious things of all the nations will come in.—Hag. 2:7.

 

“Within minutes, the shops and old buildings started falling.” “There was panic everywhere . . . A lot of people said it lasted for about two minutes. To me, it seemed like forever.” Those are the comments of some who survived an earthquake that struck Nepal in 2015. We are, however, at this very moment experiencing a different kind of shaking—one that involves all the nations. The prophet Haggai wrote: “This is what Jehovah of armies says, ‘Yet once more—in a little while—and I will shake the heavens and the earth.’” (Hag. 2:6) The shaking that Haggai describes is not like a literal earthquake, which brings only destruction. Instead, it produces good results. Jehovah himself tells us: “I will shake all the nations, and the precious things of all the nations will come in; and I will fill this house with glory.” w21.09 14 ¶1-3
