Shaking Nations

I will shake all nations,

and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations

 Haggai 2:7  

Today's Bible Reading: Haggai 2:1-9.

The “Desire of All Nations,” is one of those many titles of the Lord Jesus. The Bible passage before us today, is linked with Hebrews 12:26-27 in the New Testament, and is about the coming of the Messiah. Taken together, it tells us that God shook the earth when He gave His Law and He will shake it again when the Messiah returns. One day, this world with its false religions, its dead works and its ever-increasing injustice and iniquity will be shaken to pieces, and it will fall at the feet of the Messiah!

Right now, at this time, everywhere we look, we can see that the world is in turmoil. This has been the way of the world for thousands of years. The Persians toppled the Babylonians. The Greeks defeated the Persians. The Romans conquered the Greeks, and so on. The nations of the world are in a constant state of agitation. But, a day is coming when the Lord will shake this world system to its foundation! He will topple every king and earthly power, and He will rule over this world that mocks and rejects Him today!

What will be left in that day? The things that cannot be shaken! His Kingdom will stand (Heb 12:28). The things of the Spirit will stand. The truth of God's Word will stand; And Your soul will stand too if your trust is in the Messiah, Jesus Christ! Now that is a future worth looking forward to!

Prayer: Father God, forgive me for not always being ready for Your return for Your Church. Father, help me to live my life like I believe that Your Son is returning soon for His Church. In His name I pray. Amen.
