They were discouraged because the temple they were building was not as magnificent as Solomon's. God, through the prophet Haggai, reminds them that this new temple will be His present dwelling. He encourages them further by revealing that they are part of something even greater that is coming. There is a greater temple coming in the ministry of Jesus Christ that will shake the world both spiritually and physically. God is speaking here of a pure and permanent place that He will inhabit. The takeaway here is that what we are going through today is the divine providential plan of God that is laying the groundwork for glory that is to come. There will be a glory far outweighing than anything we have already seen and are going to see that will come during the millennial reign of Christ.
