 25Jesus answered, I told you, and ye believe not. The works which I do in the name of my Father, these bear witness of me;
 26but ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep.
 27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
 28and I give them life eternal, and they shall in no wise ever perish, and no one shall seize them out of my hand.

• After mature consideration and research I cannot doubt that this phrase, “the desire of all nations,” points to the Messiah. (“Haggai 2” by W. Kelly)
• It is a fair inquiry in what sense the Messiah could be the desire of all the nations or Gentiles. Not it seems that He must needs be said to be subjectively their desire; but objectively He is, and will be one day owned as, the precious treasure of all nations; for indeed in the past or present which of them have prized Him as they ought? He is not only the hope of Israel, but will be the means of true riches and blessing to all other nations. There never can be the full happiness of the world till He comes. (“Haggai 2” by W. Kelly)
• He shakes the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. Now this is the very scripture that is referred to by Paul as unfulfilled in Hebrews 12—“Whose voice then shook the earth: but now He hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.” Thus all can understand that Jehovah will fill the house with glory. Herod’s great porticoes in the outer court, and any offerings of gold and silver in his days, utterly fail to reach up to this promise. (“Haggai 2” by W. Kelly)
• If it be a great priest, prophet, or king; if it be a Savior, conqueror, or judge, always the One whom the Holy Spirit contemplates from beginning to end is Christ; and it will be the same with our interpretation, where the Holy Spirit identifies our spiritual affections with Christ, and forms our minds according to God’s purposes and ways. (“Haggai 2” by W. Kelly)

Or, "object of desire, of all the Gentiles," as it is literally. After mature consideration and research, I cannot doubt that this phrase, "the desire of all nations" (vs. 7), points to the Messiah, though there are difficulties about it.
