7. What shaking work are we involved in today? Explain.

⁷ What does Haggai’s prophecy mean for us today? Once again Jehovah is shaking all the nations, and this time we are involved. Consider this fact: In 1914, Jehovah installed Jesus Christ as King of His heavenly Kingdom. (Ps. 2:6) The establishment of that Kingdom was bad news for world leaders. It meant that “the appointed times of the nations”​—the period during which there was no ruler directly representing Jehovah—​had been fulfilled, or had come to an end. (Luke 21:24) In recognition of that fact, particularly since 1919, Jehovah’s people have been pointing to God’s Kingdom as the only hope for mankind. This preaching of the “good news of the Kingdom” has shaken the whole world.​—Matt. 24:14.

10. What positive reaction to the shaking work is described at Haggai 2:7-9?

¹⁰ The figurative shaking that Haggai foretold has a positive effect on some people. He tells us that as a result of the shaking, “the precious things [honesthearted people] of all the nations will come” to worship Jehovah.c (Read Haggai 2:7-9.) Isaiah as well as Micah foretold similar developments that would occur “in the last days.”​—Isa. 2:2-4, ftn.; Mic. 4:1, 2, ftn.
