Hag 2:21 | MHM | STEP | v. 21-22 : God told Haggai to speak directly to Zerubbabel. He warned that there would soon be great changes and troubles among the nations: I will shake the heavens and the earth (Haggai 2:21 ). This message was repeated from earlier (Haggai 2:6-7 ). God said that the kingdoms of the world would be overthrown. Even strong nations would lose their power; their chariots and armies would be defeated, and even their closest allies would turn against each other. God wanted Zerubbabel to know that, even if the world seemed full of chaos, God was in control. This is a warning to all who oppose God and a promise that God will one day defeat all evil and set up His kingdom. It also points forward to Jesus defeating sin and evil forever (1 Corinthians 15:24 ).
