Be strong, all you people of the land

Haggai 2:1-9
But now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. 
The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.
Solomon's fabulous Temple had been demolished 70 years before. 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 splendor and glory of the end-time, the era of peace and prosperity to which the prophets all looked forward.
Why?
Be strong and work for God is with me. When I follow the word of the Lord God will be with me. His glory and his grace will be with me. God is the fountain of blessing.
The silver is God's and the gold is God's and the glory of this church will be greater than the glory before. For the Lord make new things and his way beyond our mind and imagination.

所建的殿實在不能和以前相比，自己覺得灰心失望，神怎會住在這聖殿。
因此神鼓勵他們。
當沒有資源時萬國拿珍寶來，這個聖殿的榮耀大過先前的榮耀。人總要看見自己的工作成果。最後人會灰心。聖殿有榮耀是因為有神，因為人完全的靠主。為主大發熱心，卻依靠自己，則必灰心。
How?
Be strong and preach the word of the Lord and honor the Holy Name of the Lord!
