Be strong for God is with me

Haggai 2:1-9
7/21 the word of the Lord came by the had of Haggai the prophet.
Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? Is it not as nothing in your eyes?
Be strong (3 times), work, for I am with you, according to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt.
The later glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts.
Why?
Solomon's fabulous Temple had been demolished 70 years. Few of those now building would have seen it - but all had heard of it. And its glory had lost nothing in the telling.
The new Temple seems a feeble thing in comparison. But let the builders take heart.
The present building is just a foretaste of the splendour and glory of the end-time, the era of peace and prosperity to which the prophets all looked forward.
The new Temple is built in our heart through Jesus Christ and our believeing.
Be strong for Gos is with us, according to the word of Jesus Christ and help of the Holy Spirit.
How?
Be strong, do what the Lord earged me to do, honor Jesus's name!
