A Glorious Future

In 586 BC, the Babylonians destroyed the Jewish temple built by Solomon! Now the tragedy that this represented in the eyes of the faithful Jew is hard to appreciate, until you consider a couple of passages. At the completion of the Solomonic Temple in 959 BC we read these words:

2 Chronicles 7:1-2, “Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house. And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD’S house.”
