What does the Bible say about the glory of the latter house?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former due to the presence of Christ.

In Haggai 2:9, God promises that the glory of the latter house will surpass that of the former. This is significant because the former house, Solomon's temple, was marked by visible glory, like the Shekinah. However, the latter house points to Christ, who is the fulfillment of what the temple foreshadowed. Though the second temple lacked physical symbols like the Ark of the Covenant, it was in this very building that Jesus walked and taught, fulfilling the presence of God in a way that transcended the old symbols, thereby establishing the greater glory.
