* The glory.
That is, the cedar; and as the choice timber of Lebanon
beautified Solomon's temple, that footstool of Jehovah; so
shall the peculiar advantages of every nation, and of every
description of men, concur to beautify the church of Christ,
which He has determined to make glorious. The language then
becomes more energetic, and the images employed more grand and
magnificent; and nothing can answer to the glorious
description but some future exalted state of the church on
earth, or the church triumphant in heaven; though several
expressions seem to limit it to the church below.
