Haggai 2:18-22

‘Do consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the Lord was founded, consider:

Is the seed still in the barn? Even including the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree, it has not produced fruit. Yet from this day on I will bless you.’ ”

Then the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,

“Speak to Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, ‘I am going to shake the heavens and the earth.

And I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the horses and their riders will go down, every one by the sword of another.’
