The Resolution of Re-Creating the World(Haggai 2:1~9)
‘I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory’, says the LORD Almighty. (7)
Hymn #344 Trav'ling Life's Road by Our Faith
The resolution of re-creating the world is the decision of having "re-creation" take place. In Thailand and Japan, where idol shrines are located in various places, spiritual problems are quite serious. In the U.S., churches have disappeared and Masonic temples have become regional landmarks. Temples are the method to change you, your region, the world, and time. One month after the temple was built, God saw the nation of Israel weakening, so He spoke to Haggai, "Your houses are beautifully built, but only the house of the Lord is missing." Afterward, He instructed them to arise and rebuild the temple. "I will shake the heavens, the earth, the seas, and the nations." He promised that the 237 nations would rise up and be healed, and that the posterity would rise as the Summit. Although the Israelites thought that they didn't have anything, they possessed three vital factors. They were the covenant of "those who remained," the covenant of the Exodus, and the Spirit of God who had remained. At this time, there are three evidences that you must hold onto.
1. Hold onto the Sure Evidences of the Word
When the Israelites left Egypt, they held onto the covenant, and through the ten miracles, Egypt was overturned. Whenever Babylon tried to destroy the nation of Israel, God worked. King Cyrus told the Israelites to go back and rebuild the temple. The time schedule came.
2. Hold onto the Evidences of the Power of Oneness
When the Israelites held onto the covenant and had "Oneness," the Red Sea and the Jordan River were divided; Jericho was captured; the united Amorite forces were defeated; and the hill country of Anak was conquered. When Esther made her resolution, all the Israelites fasted and prayed, and a miracle arose. Like this, the prayer of "Oneness" raises miracles.
3. Give the Future
"Be strong."(Haggai 2:4) "The silver is mine, and the gold is mine."(Haggai 2:8) "The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house."(Haggai 2:9) You must hold onto these covenants.
You must grab hold of these covenants and restore "237-Healing Summit.” In other words, you must restore these three courtyards.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, I give you my life, place my future in Your hands, and entrust the posterity and world evangelization in Your mighty hands. May I possess the resolution regarding my life. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
