The Lord promises to shake and dethrone nations and kingdoms and the strength of their armies in order to exalt His servant leaders as His chosen representatives of His kingdom.

The people of God have been defiled by their neglect of God's temple while being busy with building their own houses, resulting in disappointing crops and harvests, but the relaying of the temple's foundation will restore His blessing upon His people. Let us then revive our hope in the restoration of the fortunes of God's people as we prioritize the building of God's house.

The rebuilding of God's house is accomplished by God strengthening His people by His Spirit. Let God renew our strength in the task of rebuilding His house by revealing His plan to shake the nations so that the treasures held by these nations will be loosened for the glory of His name.

When God is pleased and glorified, we experience His presence, blessing and favor.
