" This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more
shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come,
and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty.
'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD Almighty.
'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory
of the former house,' says the LORD Almighty.
'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the LORD Almighty."
- Haggai 2: 6-9
