              in His advent. Their minds are blind to the true meaning of the
            
            
              prophet’s words.
            
            
              God honored the second temple, not with the cloud of His glory,
            
            
              but with the presence of the One in whom was “all the fullness of
            
            
              the Godhead bodily”—God “manifested in the flesh.”
            
            
              Colossians
            
            
              2:9
            
            
              ;
            
            
              1 Timothy 3:16
            
            
              . In this alone did the second temple exceed the
            
            
              first in glory. The “Desire of All Nations” had indeed come to His
            
            
              temple when the Man of Nazareth taught and healed in its sacred
            
            
              courts.
