• Unshakable Kingdom by Sandi Patty

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(28) Receiving a kingdom.--These words clearly contain a reference to Daniel 7:18, "The saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom." Nor can it well be doubted that the closing verses of Haggai 2 are also before the writer's mind; after Hebrews 12:21, which repeats the words of Hebrews 12:6, quoted above, the prophet declares the overthrow of earthly kingdoms, and continues to His servant Zerubbabel the Messianic promise. Christ has made His people kings; and when heaven and earth have passed away, they shall be found heirs of a kingdom that cannot be shaken (Hebrews 2:5-9).Let us have grace.--Many render the last word thankfulness, but the ordinary translation is preferable. There is for us a "throne of grace" to which we may draw near and "find grace" (Hebrews 4:16). The characteristic of our Christian state is that we "have grace," and have not "fallen back from the grace of God" (Hebrews 12:15). Let us continue in this state and thus be enabled to offer our priestly service unto God (Hebrews 9:14; Hebrews 13:15). . . .
