Bible Note: Hi Holmes, I will deal with this one last question but I feel the forum will have had enough of this argument. If you are determined to believe in a future Temple you may of course do so. But as I have shown none of your verses say that there will be. If you wish to discuss it with me further give me your email address and i will contact you. I wrote: “But all that is by the way because Haggai was not referring to Solomon’s Temple at all. He was comparing the Second Temple to the one that was coming, that is, to Herod’s Temple. Solomon’s Temple had nothing to do with it.” Holmes says: See Haggai 2:3 “Who is left among you who saw this temple in its former glory? There was only one “former temple.” If God had been referring to the 2nd temple He would have said, “The latter glory of this house will be greater than the present (the one you are currently working on).” my reply. So you are now telling God how He should have written the Scriptures? You are a brave man indeed. Verse 2 does not use the same wording as verse 9. There is no mention in verse 2 of a former house and a latter house. It is therefore irrelevant. But let us take your point. You are saying that Solomon's Temple was the former house, and that the second Temple was the latter house? That's fine. Thus verse 9 does not mention a future Temple! Holmes says You wrote: I am interested to know how you know what was in Herod’s mind. From Unger’s Bible Dictionary: “Herod was not only an Idumaean in race and a Jew in religion, but he was a heathen in practice and a monster in character. During his administration as king he proved himself to be exceedingly crafty, jealous, cruel, and revengeful. He exercised his kingly power with the disposition of a very despot.” And those are just his good features! my reply All this is irrelevant. No one is suggesting that Herod's glory mattered. The physical glory of the Temple was undoubted. It was a wonder of the world at that time. As for cruelty, I would suggest you look at Solomon's behaviour when he wanted his house building. Forced labour which would have been enforced in cruel ways, sapping the country of its wealth. Solomon was nothing to write home about when it came to compassion and kindness. But all this is irrelevant. It is arguing for the sake of arguing. No one doubts the glory of Herod's Temple. And Jesus commented on it. And He never ran down the Temple merely because it had been built under Herod But as I have pointed out its glory was greater than that of any previous Temple for another reason, because in it walked and preached the Son of God. It was the place where God uniquely revealed Himself on earth. God had come to His Temple and entered into it, giving it a glory far beyond any other. It really cannot be doubted. And on that note I suggest that we draw this correspondence to an end. Best wishes |
