December 18th -- Haggai 2
THE FUTURE TEMPLE

WHEN therefore Haggai said, "This house shall befilled with glory," he did not refer to the temple which Jesus frequented but to the temple to stand upon the same site which is described by Ezekiel, into which "the glory of the God of Israel," even the Son of Man in the glory of the Father, "shall come from the way of the east," and cause the neighbouring earth itself to shine (Ezekiel 43:2). This is the only interpretation the prophecy will admit of; for when Jesus came, he was neither "the desire of all nations," nor was he in glory. The glory of the God of Israel left the temple when the Chaldees were about to destroy it; and it will not return until Jesus shall sit upon the throne and bear the glory in the era of "the regeneration."
