When the Prophet Haggai had delivered his message from the Lord of Hosts, unto Zerubbabel, Joshua and the remnant of the people; the fruit of this message from the Lord is here set down, what effect it wrought in the hearts of the hearers, not only of Zerubbabel, and Joshua, but even of the people also. The principal effects that followed upon the Prophets Sermon are here noted to be two, one of Obedience. They all obeyed the voice of the Lord, Another of reverence, And the people did fear before the Lord.
WHen the Prophet Haggai had delivered his message from the Lord of Hosts, unto Zerubbabel, Joshua and the remnant of the people; the fruit of this message from the Lord is here set downe, what effect it wrought in the hearts of the hearers, not only of Zerubbabel, and Joshua, but even of the people also. The principall effects that followed upon the Prophets Sermon are here noted to be two, one of Obedience. They all obeyed the voice of the Lord, Another of reverence, And the people did feare before the Lord.
The word of the Lord by the messenger of the Lord, had brought some fear and reverence upon them, to cause them to stoop unto the will of God, and this fear had wrought some desire in their hearts to yield themselves in obedience, to do the work of the Lord in the building of the Temple also. It is said of Christ Isai. 11 Chapter That the fear of the Lord should rest upon 1him! and so it may be likewise of all true Christians, that the fear of the Lord is before them, not that fear which John speaks of, which is a fear that hath painfulness wherewith the wicked are vexed, dreading punishment, that being a slavish and a 2servile fear: but such a fear as Abraham had, when he would have offered his dear son for a sacrifice to the Lord, fear arising from faith and love, and drawing us on to obedience. 3
