This then is the sense that Abarbinel would put on these words, It is yet a little while, and I will fill this House with Glory; that is, a very great while hence, longer hence then you have been a people in the world; I will cause another House to be built. (6.) To the Targum, and all the ancient Masters among the Jews themselves. (7.) To its self, for it is by his own confession promised, that the Messiah should come to the Temple, that is promised to be filled with Glory: but the other Third Temple that he fancies, is as he said, to be built by himself; so as he cannot be said to come unto it. So that this evasion will not yield the least relief to their obstinacy and unbelief. It is evidently the second Temple built by Zerubbabel, whose Glory is here foretold.

The Glory promised unto this house, is nextly to be considered. This is expressed § 5 absolutely, v. 7. I will fill this House with Glory: and comparatively, with reference unto the Temple of Solomon, which some of them had seen, v. 9. The Glory of this latter House, shall be greater then of the former. To understand aright this Promise, we must reflect a little upon the Glory of the first House, which the glory of this second was to excel. It would not answer our present design, to digress unto a particular description of Solomon's Temple: It is also done by others with great Judgement, Diligence, and Accuracy. I shall therefore only give a brief account of some of the heads of its excellency, which our present Argument doth require.
