Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
This closing chapter is the summary Isaiah's prophecies as to the last days: hence, the similarity of its sentiments with what went before.
The heaven (is) my throne ... where is the house that ye build unto me? The same sentiment is expressed, as a precautionary proviso for the majesty of God in deigning to own any earthly temple as His, as if He could be circumscribed by space (1 Kings 8:27) in inaugurating the temple of stone; next, as to the temple of the Holy Spirit (Acts 7:48-49 ); lastly here, as to the millennial temple ( Isaiah 2:2-3; Ezekiel 43:4; Ezekiel 43:7).
Where - rather [ 'eey ( H335 )], 'what is this house that ye are building? etc.; what place is this for my rest?' (Vitringa.) So the Vulgate, Septuagynt, Chaldaic, Arabic, and Syriac.
