6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
Haggai 2 (KJV)

He states in his book (anacalypsis) -Page 679- about the desire of all nations on Haggai 2:7 which pronounced HAMDAH in Hebrew:
"HMD, From this root, the pretended prophet mohammed or mohamet had his name, here Mohammed is expressly foretold by haggai ,and by name , there is no interpolation here . there is no evading this clear text and its meaning."

Moreover, Haggai 2:9 is clearly pointing another house will be greater than the former house (The temple of Jerusalem that was destroyed) ... This verse is obviously pointing the sacred house of God in Mecca.
"in this land will I give peace": Jerusalem did not know peace in history, but Mecca is the safest land on the world. No wars touched Mecca in its history !!
Here Muhammad peace be upon him is prophesied by name according to western archelogists and biblical lexicographers. In addition, the prophecy of the latter house of God in the safe land Mecca is great confirmation of this clear prophecy.
If you want clear prophecies about Muhammad in Bible, here is one:
“And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred
and three-score days, clothed in sackcloth.”[25] By these two witnesses are intended Muḥammad the
Messenger of God and ‘Alí the son of Abú Ṭálib. In the Qur’án it is said that God addressed
Muḥammad, saying, “We made Thee a witness, a herald, and a warner”;[26] that is, We have
established Thee as one Who bears witness, Who imparts the glad-tidings of that which is to come,
and Who warns of the wrath of God. A “witness” means one by whose affirmation matters are
ascertained. The commandments of these two witnesses were to be followed for 1,260 days, each
day corresponding to a year. Now, Muḥammad was the root and ‘Alí the branch, like Moses and
Joshua. It is said they were “clothed in sackcloth”, meaning that they appeared to wear not a new
raiment but an old one. In other words, they would initially appear to be of no consequence in the
eyes of other peoples and their Cause would not seem new. For the spiritual principles of the
religion of Muḥammad correspond to those of Christ in the Gospel, and His material
commandments correspond for the most part to those of the Torah. This is the symbolism of the old
raiment.
“These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.”[27]
These two Souls have been likened to olive trees, since all the lamps of that time were lit at night
with olive oil. In other words, these are two Souls from whom the oil of divine wisdom—which is
the cause of the illumination of the world—will appear, and through whom the lights of God will
shine bright and resplendent. Thus have they also been likened to candlesticks. The candlestick is
the locus of the light and the place from whence it emanates. In the same way, the light of guidance
would shine resplendent from these luminous Countenances.
They are “standing before God”—that is, they have arisen in His service and are educating His
creatures. For instance, they so educated the barbarous, desert-dwelling tribes of the Arabian
Peninsula as to cause them to attain the loftiest heights of human civilization at the time and to
spread their fame and renown throughout the world.
“And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their
enemies.”[28] This means that no soul would be able to withstand their might. That is, should anyone
seek to subvert their teachings or their law, he would be overcome and defeated by virtue of that
law which proceeds, whether in brief or in full, from their mouth. In other words, they would issue
a command that would destroy any enemy that would attempt to harm or oppose them. And so it
came to pass, for their opponents were all vanquished, dispersed, and destroyed, and these two
witnesses were outwardly assisted by the power of God.
“These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy.”[29] This means
that they would rule supreme in that age. In other words, the law and teachings of Muḥammad, and
the exposition and commentaries of ‘Alí, are a heavenly grace. Should they wish to bestow this
grace, it is in their power to do so, and should they wish otherwise, no rain will fall, and by “rain” is
meant here the outpouring grace.....
