How does God fill His house with glory?

Answered in 1 source

God fills His house with glory through the presence of Christ and the gathering of His elect from all nations.

The glory of God filling His house is a central theme in the biblical narrative, commencing with the coming of Christ to the temple as recorded in Luke 2:21-38. This glory surpasses all previous expressions, including those found in the tabernacle and Solomon's temple. As Haggai 2:9 states, the glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former, as it embodies the actual presence of Christ, the incarnate Word. This glory is fulfilled as the elect from all nations, tongues, and peoples gather and offer themselves to God, bringing their riches in Christ. It is a beautiful picture of redemption that culminates in the New Jerusalem, where believers will dwell eternally in His presence, filled with His glory (Revelation 21:10-11).
