Dit is die stad, die opspringt van vreugde, die zeker woont, die in haar hart zegt: Ik ben het, en buiten mij is geen meer; hoe is zij geworden tot woestheid, een rustplaats van het gedierte! Een ieder, die daardoor trekt, zal ze aanfluiten, hij zal zijn hand bewegen.
Wat betekent dit?
In Haggai 2:7, God says He will shake all nations and bring the desire of all nations to His temple. This will fill the temple with glory. It's a promise about future events that will glorify God's house.
