Singing, Weeping, Hoping

Introduction to Matthew:
Haggai 2:1b-9 "Singing, Weeping, Hoping"

Three questions that Haggai gives to the people:

1. Who is left among you that saw the temple in its former glory? (Former glory)
2. How does it look to you now? (Present disappointment)
3. Does it not seem to you like nothing? (Honest comparison)

But now, take courage and work!

What is glory coming back?

• Ezekiel 43:1-5

Haggai 2:20-23:

• This is future oriented prophecy
• v.23 is a New Covenant prophetic pointer
• Being fulfilled in Hebrews 12:25-29
