THE GLORY OF THE LATTER HOUSE
Key Scriptures:
Book of Haggai 2:9
Gospel of Matthew 11:11
First Epistle of Peter 1:12 "The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former..." (Haggai 2:9)
Jesus said "Among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist."
John was the greatest of the Old Testament prophets. He stood at the threshold between two covenants. He saw the Messiah and introduced Him to the world.
Yet Jesus added, "But he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."
This means that the lowest-ranking believer in the New Covenant possesses privileges greater than the greatest prophet of the Old Covenant.
John preached about the Kingdom, but believers today live in the Kingdom.
John announced Christ, but Christ lives in us.
John saw the promise, but we experience the fulfillment.
1 Peter 1:12 says
"...things which angels desire to look into."
The prophets prophesied about this time. The apostles preached about. The Holy Spirit revealed it. Even angels marvel at it.
What angels observe from afar, believers experience personally
John the Baptist was the greatest man produced by the former house, yet the least believer in Christ is greater because he belongs to the latter house.
The prophets longed to see this day. The angels desire to understand it. We, the Church, live it.
Therefore, the glory of the latter house is greater than the former.
