Hag 2:20 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for Hag 2:20-23: 2:20-23 Haggai’s final message is perhaps the most important; it reestablishes the prominence of David’s descendant in Israel’s religious and political life. The dynasty of David was key to restoring the Hebrew people after the Babylonian exile (see Jer 23:5 ; Ezek 37:24 ). God had cursed David’s descendant, King Jehoiachin, at the time of the Exile (Jer 22:24-30 ), but Haggai’s last message overturns that curse and reinstates the covenant with David (see 2 Sam 7:4-17 ) as the means by which God will carry out his promises to bless and restore Israel.
