Haiku of splendour
Very specific;
the date of the prophecy.
Must be important
Haggai, the prophet
brings the long awaited word
of restoration.
Does anyone here
remember the great glory
that was the temple?
People, take courage,
the Lord fulfils the promise
made at your release.
My spirit is here
among you; there is no need
for any to fear.
It’s time for shaking;
heaven and earth, sea and land,
and the nations too.
The nations shall come
bringing all of their treasure
as homage to God
Creation’s glory,
all the silver, all the gold,
belongs to the Lord.
The temple’s splendour
in the past was great; it shall
be even greater.
