The Names of God - Desire of All Nations

Desire of All Nations
Haggai 2:7 (KJV) And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.

The word desire can be given as “hope,” Jeremiah describes Jehovah as “The Hope of Israel” (14:8; 17:13). Christ is not only the Desire or Hope of all nations, He is the Hope of His redeemed Church. Paul describes the Rapture of the Church at Christ’s return as “the Blessed Hope” (Titus 2:13).

Jesus, though nations do not presently desire you, yet you are the only One who can satisfy the yearning desires within the heart of man. There will come a time when you will shake all nations and then you alone will usher in world peace. For without you, there will be no peace in this world.
