“The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former. . . . And in this place I will give peace."

“The house that is to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and glory throughout all lands.”—The glory of the Lord filled the Lord's house.

“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” . . . But he was speaking about the temple of his body.—Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it.—And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.—In these last days [God] has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”—Prince of Peace.—For he himself is our peace.—And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
