Abarbinel affirms that the [Greek or Hebrew], Christian Doctors, would argue and prove § 22 from hence, that it is not th• Temple of the Jews, but their own House of Worship, that is intended in these words, and that because there was no such confluence of the Nations unto the Jews, either under the first, or second Temple, as is here promised: ⟨p. 164⟩But unto their Church and Faith, all Nations were converted. But he mistakes, and confounds things, as all of them constantly do, in their Disputations against Christians. We contend not, that it is the Christian Church, that is here intended by the House, that Glory was to come unto. Only we say, that he to whom the Nations or Gentiles were to be gathered, whom they were shaken and stirred up to receive, did actually come unto the Temple at Jerusalem, and thereby gave it a greater Glory then what ever the Temple of Solomon received. This first Circumstance then clears our intention from this Text.
