Any comments?

Haggai 2:6-7 "
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; and I will shake all nations; and the precious things of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts."
When in history has God shaken "the heavens, and the earth, and the sea and the dry land?" When did He "shake all nations", and when have the "precious things of all come"? They haven't. This prophesy of Haggai's has not yet been fulfilled. However, Christ Himself tells us when it will be...
Luke 21:25-27 "There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken." When is this? 27(When) "they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great glory.…"
Christ's Body is the Temple - and we are the Body of Christ. We are the one's filled by the Holy Spirit, as once the tabernacle was. The true Temple of God is not a building of hewn stone ornamented with images of Pomegranates and Angels (images carved against the strict prohibition of God - Exodus 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol, or
any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.", and Solomon's Temple was always just that - "Solomon's" Temple, not Jehovah Gods. Did not God say "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be?" (Isaiah 66:1, Acts 7:49).
