Hageo 2:18 Meaning and Commentary

Haggai 2:18

Consider now from this day and upward
Or forward; for time to come, as the Vulgate Latin version: from the four and twentieth day of the ninth [month];
before observed, ( Haggai 2:10 Haggai 2:15 ) : even from the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid,
consider [it];
not from the time it was first laid after their return upon the proclamation of Cyrus, but from the time they began to clear that foundation, and to build upon it; and which having lain so long neglected, the renewal of it is represented as a fresh laying of it: now the prophet, as he had directed them to consider what adversity and calamities had attended them from the time of their neglect unto this time; so he would have them particularly observe what blessings they would enjoy from henceforward; by which it would appear how pleasing it was to the Lord that they had begun and were going on with the building.

Hageo 2:18 In-Context

16 ¿cómo les iba? Cuando alguien se acercaba a un montón de grano esperando encontrar veinte medidas, solo hallaba diez; y si se iba al lagar esperando sacar cincuenta medidas de la artesa del mosto, solo sacaba veinte.
17 Herí sus campos con quemazón y con plaga, y con granizo toda obra de sus manos. Pero ustedes no se volvieron a mí —afirma el SEÑOR—.
18 Reflexionen desde hoy en adelante, desde el día veinticuatro del mes noveno, día en que se colocaron los cimientos de la casa del SEÑOR. Reflexionen:
19 ¿Queda todavía alguna semilla en el granero? ¿Todavía no producen nada la vid ni la higuera, ni el granado ni el olivo? ¡Pues a partir de hoy yo los bendeciré!»
20 El día veinticuatro del mismo mes vino por segunda vez palabra del SEÑOR a Hageo:
