Hi Seeker, Your fifth quote was Haggai 2.7, 9, ‘I will shake all nations, and the desirable things of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory -- the latter glory of this house will be greater than the former --- and in this place will I give peace. According to verse 23 this shaking of the nations is connected with Zerubbabel. Thus it refers to the activities of the Persian Empire, which God had raised up in order that His people might return to their land. With regard to the desirable things of the nations coming see my previous post on Isaiah 60.14 re the riches that poured in to Jerusalem. They specifically came to the Temple of which Haggai was speaking. And the latter house was greater than the former when Herod built his magnificent structure, which was the admiration of the world. People gasped when they saw its beauty. But more wonderful than all was the Temple Whom God sent, Who was destroyed and raised in three days (John 2). And through Him came peace for the world.

God's day to you, biblicalman, Can you say "God (has) built the Temple"? I am curious why man has to build the altar. Searcher |

Hi Searcher, The altar had to be built because it was the means by which the heavenly Temple was accessed. The people as a whole could not see the heavenly Temple just as the people arounnd Elisha could not see the angelic army. But they did need something that they could see to offer sacrifices on. This altar was built in Ezra 3.2-3. It replaced an altar that had previously been built (Jeremiah 41.5). The Temple of the Lord in Jeremiah 41.5 must mean the site with an altar as the Temple had been destroyed. There may of course have been some of its ruins still standing. Yes God built (set up, brought into being) the heavenly Temple, but of course being heavenly it was not of this world. How He did it He was not pleased to tell us. It probably came down already 'built'. Best wishes |
