Haggai 2:1-9- IN THE SEVENTH MONTH, on the TWENTY-FIRST of the month, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying: “Speak now to Zerubbabel the Son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying:
‘Who is left among you show this temple (house) in its former glory? And how do you see it now? In comparison with it, is this not in your eyes as nothing? ‘Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says the Lord; ‘and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the Lord, ‘and work; for I am with you,’ says the Lord of hosts.
‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’ “For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; ‘and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the *Desire of All Nations* and I will fill this temple (house) with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts.
‘The Silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of Hosts.”
The seventh month is the “First” month of the spiritual new year and it is the 21st day! The “3rd” day from Christ is the same as the “7th” day from Adam. Three x Seven= ’21’! This third day of Grace is bringing in the glory of God, ready to manifest in the seventh month, or the completion of an old year and bringing in of a new!
This is why the Father had us begin our Apostolic Campaign 2014/2015!( overlapping of two years) in the middle of a year, the 7th month, in representing that He was ushering in a New Year, and even more important, He is bringing in a “NEW ERA!” This is the “EMERGING RELATIONAL APOSTLES”, who are not only relational in fellowship, but regional in stewardship!
This is why we are seeing not only a great shaking going on, not only in the world, but in the church, but we are seeing the monumental SHIFT that will literally thrust the “remnant of HIs people” into the forefront of this hour. The word of the Lord in Haggai 2:4b was, “and be strong, all you people of the land, says the Lord of hosts, and work; FOR I AM WITH YOU, says the Lord of Hosts.”
Everything that can be shaken is being shaken, so that only the things that cannot be shaken may remain. He’s shaking all the nations (people groups) to bring them to the ‘Desire of All Nations’, to His restored ecclesia, the glorious church in the earth! This third day of grace follows two days, or shouts of “GRACE, GRACE (Zech. 4:7) and in and on the third day His grace becomes GLORIOUS!
The only way He can bring the silver and gold to the church is only when it has been shaken at its very core! We have not known how to handle the “wealth of the wicked”, so therefore He will not allow it to be used or wasted as it has been in the past. He is purging the church and bringing about a new breed of apostles and leaders who will be able to steward all the silver and the gold, so that He can fill His house with His glory.
Hag. 7:9- “The glory of this latter house (restored ecclesia) shall be greater than the former (early church), says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I WILL GIVE PEACE,’ says the Lord of hosts.
