Significance

Haggai 2:6 announces that God will "shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land" (הַיַּבָּשָׁה, hayyabbashah), echoing the Exodus vocabulary where God turned the sea into "dry land" (יַבָּשָׁה) at the Red Sea crossing (Exod 14:21). The shared term יַבָּשָׁה and the cosmic scope of God's intervention connect Haggai's eschatological shaking with the foundational redemptive act at the sea. By invoking Exodus imagery, Haggai frames the coming divine intervention for the second temple community as a new exodus-scale event, assuring the discouraged builders that the same God who shook the waters to deliver Israel will shake the nations to fill this house with glory. Exodus 14:21 specifies the means of that parting as a "strong east wind" (רוּחַ קָדִים עַזָּה, ruach qadim azzah), the localized instrument of redemption that Haggai's oracle expands into a universal, cosmic-scale shaking.
