See Haggai 2:15. Make you observation from the day when you began to build on the old foundation laid many years ago in the time of Cyrus. Consider it; let that be the precise day from which you begin your reckoning. By this the prophet excites them to believe and wait, since he doth in the name of the Lord so expressly promise a blessing, and tells them when it shall begin to come unto them, and would have them observe how truly he speaks.
