Haggai

When the returning exiles turned all their strength to doing what God had commanded they received his blessing. He also made a promise for them. A promise through which we also have received fruit. God propmised that the glory of the new temple would exceed that of the old. I wonder if he was refering to the messiah's redemptive work or something else?
It took me almost 10 minutes to read the words of Haggai.
