Review Haggai 2:6-9

1. There is in the Body of Christ, a teaching that right before the second coming of Christ there is going to be a huge transfer of wealth that is going to enable the Body of Christ to finance the end time  effort to preach the gospel in all the earth.

2. One of the passages used to teach this is Haggai 2:6-9.

3. The chronological context of verse 6 specifically the shaking of “the heavens and the earth” point to the end of the millennial reign of Christ. This is because the inspired writer of Hebrews interprets the shaking of “the heavens and the earth” with their removal which connects it to the removal of the heavens and earth at the Great White Throne Judgment in Revelation 20:11-21. [Cp. 2 Peter 3:7-13].

4. The phrase shaking heaven and earth is used 3 times in Scripture. It is used in Haggai twice, Haggai 2:6 and 2:21. The passage in Haggai 2:21 is   referring to the second coming of Christ and the millennial. In Isaiah 13:13, the shaking takes place on the day of the Lord. In Joel 3:16 the context is Armageddon, Joel 3:9-16, [Cp. Revelation 14:17-20].

5. In Haggai 2:7, the Lord speaks of shaking the nations, causing the desired wealth of the nations to be brought to fill the temple of Haggai’s day.

6. From the context of Haggai 2:3, 7, 8, 9 it is clear the LORD is speaking of material wealth.

7. The trouble is that the Scriptures that mention wealth coming in, Zechariah 14:14; Isaiah 60:9-11 and Isaiah 61:4-6 point to either the second coming of Christ, or during the millennial or the end of the millennial reign of Christ.
