His rebuke to the people: YOU DWELL IN PANELED HOUSES WHILE MY HOUSE LIES IN RUINS

His promise of the latter house: ITS GLORY SHALL BE GREATER THAN THE FORMER

Remarks:

The subject prophesied to the returned exiles who had let the rebuilding of the temple stall for years while they saw to their own houses.

He rebuked them: they dwelt in paneled houses while the house of the LORD lay in ruins, and their labor did not prosper because they had neglected God's house. Consider your ways, he said.

The people, with Zerubbabel the governor and Joshua the high priest, obeyed the voice of the LORD, and the work on the temple resumed.

When some wept that the new temple seemed less than Solomon's, the subject brought the LORD's encouragement: be strong and work, for I am with you, and the glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former.

He spoke of the LORD shaking the nations, and of Zerubbabel as a signet ring, pointing beyond the rebuilt house to a greater hope.

Do not build your own house while God's house lies neglected.
Consider your ways and put first things first.
The LORD is with His people and stirs them up to work.
