(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
saith = hath said.
once = first; as in Hag_1:1 with Hag_2:1. Hebrew. 'chad = one of several. See note on Deu_6:4. There had been shakings before; but this one would be extreme and final. Quoted in Heb_12:26, Heb_12:27. Greek. hapax = once for all: i.e. first, before the fulfillment of the promise given in the clause which follows. It is feminine here, and cannot agree with "little" (one little, or a little) because me'at is masculine.
I will shake. See the Structure, below (Hag_2:21). Not "convert"; but shake violently, as in Psa_46:3; Psa_77:18. Jer_10:10, &c.
and. Note the Figure of speech Polysyndeton (App-6): emphasizing the universality of this last shaking, in contrast with all former shakings. It refers to the great tribulation (Mat_24:29, Mat_24:30). Compare Isa_13:13; Isa_24:18.
