ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it.
[19] Is the
seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree,
hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
[20] And again the word of the LORD came unto
Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
[21] Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah,
saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
[22] And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I
will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that
ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
[23]
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel,
saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.
