Haggai 2:9 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

latter house

In a sense all the temples (i.e Solomon's; Ezra's; Herod's; that which will be used by the unbelieving Jews under covenant with the Beast (Daniel 9:27); (Matthew 24:15); (2 Thessalonians 2:3); (2 Thessalonians 2:4) and Ezekiel's future kingdom temple Ezekiel 40-47), are treated as one "house" -- the "house of the Lord," since they all profess to be that. For that reason Christ purified the temple of His day, erected though it was by an Idumean usurper to please the Jews. (Matthew 21:12); (Matthew 21:13).

glory

Or, the future glory of this house shall be greater than the former.

Haggai 2:9

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.
