Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Haggai 2:8

_ _ The silver is mine — (Job 41:11; Psalms 50:12). Ye are disappointed at the absence of these precious metals in the adorning of this temple, as compared with the first temple: If I pleased I could adorn this temple with them, but I will adorn it with a “glory” (Haggai 2:7, Haggai 2:9) far more precious; namely, with the presence of My divine Son in His veiled glory first, and at His second coming with His revealed glory, accompanied with outward adornment of gold and silver, of which the golden covering within and without put on by Herod is the type. Then shall the nations bring offerings of those precious metals which ye now miss so much (Isaiah 2:3; Isaiah 60:3, Isaiah 60:6, Isaiah 60:7; Ezekiel 43:2, Ezekiel 43:4, Ezekiel 43:5; Ezekiel 44:4). The heavenly Jerusalem shall be similarly adorned, but shall need “no temple” (Revelation 21:10-22). Compare 1 Corinthians 3:12, where gold and silver represent the most precious things (Zechariah 2:5). The inward glory of New Testament redemption far exceeds the outward glory of the Old Testament dispensation. So, in the case of the individual poor believer, God, if He pleased, could bestow gold and silver, but He bestows far better treasures, the possession of which might be endangered by that of the former (James 2:5).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Haggai 2:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Haggai 2:8

The silver — The treasures of both: doubt not therefore but I will give enough to build this house.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Haggai 2:8

The (e) silver [is] mine, and the gold [is] mine, saith the LORD of hosts.

(e) Therefore when his time comes he can make all the treasures of the world to serve his purpose: but the glory of this second Temple does not consist of material things, neither can it be built.
