And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. Haggai 2:7
"Christ’s first advent was glorious.
His presence in the Temple was the glory promised by the prophet Haggai (Hag 2:7).
In that wonderful closing prayer with His disciples, Jesus stated, “I have glorified You on the earth” (John 17:4).
Then He prayed that His life would reveal even more glory, “And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was” (John 17:5).
God answered that prayer with the glory streaming from the cross (Gal 6:14)—the glory of self-sacrificing love.
But this glory of Christ’s first advent was a far different glory than most Jews expected, desired, or could appreciate."
