Once settled in Jerusalem, the people rebuild the altar first, offering sacrifices despite surrounding threats. They celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles and reinstate regular worship. Then the foundation of the temple is laid. Younger people shout for joy while older ones weep, remembering Solomon’s temple. Worship and emotion blend as Israel renews covenant life.
Christ-Foreshadowing: The laying of the new foundation points to Christ, the true foundation of God’s spiritual temple—the Church.
