wall . . . separation between . . . sanctuary and . . . profane—No longer shall the wall of partition be to separate the Jew and the Gentile (Ephesians 2:14), but to separate the sacred from the profane. The lowness of it renders it unfit for the purpose of defense (the object of the wall, Revelation 21:12). But its square form (as in the city, Revelation 21:16) is the emblem of the kingdom that cannot be shaken (Hebrews 12:28), resting on prophets and apostles, Jesus Christ being the chief corner-stone.
Everything was now ready for His reception. As the Shekinah glory was the peculiar distinction of the old temple, so it was to be in the new in a degree as much more transcendent as the proportions of the new exceeded those of the old. The fact that the Shekinah glory was not in the second temple proves that it cannot be that temple which is meant in the prophecy.
