This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
O Jerusalem, though thou and thy temple are yet in some sort in your ruins, and desolate and contemptible not only to thine enemies, but also in the eyes of thine own people, yet comfort thyself with these great and glorious things foretold concerning thee in the holy prophets, as Isa_62:1,7 65:18, &c.; Isa_66:10, &c.; Zec_1:14, &c.; Zec_2:4,12 8:3, &c. Zec_12:2, &c. Among other things, it was foretold that the glory of the latter house should be greater than of the former, Hag_2:9. All which prophecies are to be understood, as this place also is, of a spiritual and evangelical glory accruing to Jerusalem; as by the birth and presence of Christ in it, so also by the accession of all people and nations to it, of which he speaks in the next verse.
