     * glory.
     # Ps 24:7-10; Joh 1:14; 2Co 3:9,10; 1Ti 3:16; Jas 2:1|
     * saith.
       Whoever compares the description of the temple of Solomon, in
       the first book of Kings, with the most splendid accounts of
       the second temple, however adorned with costly stones and
       other magnificent decorations in after ages, must perceive
       that the former, being wholly overlaid with pure gold, was
       incomparably more glorious than the latter in its greatest
       magnificence; and the Jews themselves allow that the ark of
       the covenant, fire from heaven, the {Urim} and {Thummim,} the
       anointing oil, the {Shechinah,} or visible glory, and the
       spirit of prophecy, which distinguished the former temple,
       were wanting in this.  In nothing, in fact, could the second
       temple excel the first in glory, except in the personal
       presence of "the Desire of all nations,"  He who is "the glory
       of the Lord," and the true temple, "in whom dwells all the
       fulness of the Godhead bodily," and who was the true
       {Shechinah,} of which that of Solomon's temple was merely a
       type.  And if it be admitted that the presence of the promised
       Messiah was intended, then it will follow that "Jesus of
       Nazareth" was He; for the second temple, in which as the
       "Prince of peace" he preached peace and reconciliation with
       God, has been utterly destroyed for upwards of seventeen
       hundred years.
