This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Go up, delay no longer, speed ye up to the mountain; Moriah, or Zion, better Lebanon, where best and greatest store of cedars were to be had, whence came the goodly cedars which built Solomon’s temple, 1Ki_5:14,15, and where they had (before the building was forbidden) furnished themselves, Ezr_3:7.
Bring wood; provide all sorts of lumber for this future edifice.
Build; go on with the work, the foundation whereof hath been laid some years, but the superstructure omitted.
The house of God, the holy temple.
I will take pleasure in it: this a very gracious promise revived, an assurance that God will dwell in it, and afford his presence there; I will meet you there, and there I will bless you, there I will accept your offerings, hear your prayers, forgive your sins, and satisfy you with the fatness of my house: much the same promise with that, 1Ki_8:29 9:3.
I will be glorified; show my majesty, and account myself glorified by you also.
