From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Desire of all nations       (Hag. 2:7), usually interpreted as a title of the Messiah. The       Revised Version, however, more correctly renders "the desirable       things of all nations;" i.e., the choicest treasures of the       Gentiles shall be consecrated to the Lord.
