house in her first glory
The prophet calls upon the old men who remembered Solomon's temple to witness to the new generation how greatly that structure exceeded the present in magnificence; and then utters a prophecy (Haggai 1:7-9) which can only refer to the future kingdom temple described by Ezekiel. It is certain that the restoration temple and all subsequent structures, including Herod's, were far inferior in costliness and splendour to Solomon's. The present period is described in (Hosea 3:4); (Hosea 3:5).
Verse 6 (Daniel 2:6) is quoted in (Hebrews 12:26); (Hebrews 12:27).
Verse 7 (Daniel 2:7): "I will shake all nations," refers to the great tribulation and is followed by the coming of Christ in glory, as in (Matthew 24:29); (Matthew 24:30).
"The desire of all nations" is Christ.
( See Scofield) - (Malachi 3:1).
