The Daily Light

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, and in this place will I give peace.
  • The house that is to be builded for the Lord must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. -- The glory of the Lord ... filled the Lord's house.
  • Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. He spake of the temple of his body. -- That which was made glorious had no glory in this respect by reason of the glory that excelleth. -- The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth. -- God ... hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.
  • Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. -- The Prince of Peace. -- He is our peace. -- The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
