Yitzhak, you make a good point here. I was overstating it when I said
the text was "clear." The translators appear to be divided over the
possible messianic significance of Haggai 2:7. Some take it as messianic
and others say the prophet is simply talking about a future time when the
treasures of the nations would flow into the Second Temple. But even so,
wouldn't such a scenario be necessarily messianic? Isn't it in messianic
times that the nations will bring tribute to Jerusalem and honor Israel's
King Messiah?
