Note.—About 500 years after the completion of the temple by Ezra, the edifice sadly needed repairing. Herod the Great, desirous of ingratiating himself with the Jews, decided to rebuild it. The old one was pulled down to its foundation, and the building of the new begun B. C. 19. It was completed in A. D. 27. It was to this building that the Jews referred when they said to the Saviour at his first passover, in the spring of A. D. 28, "Forty and six years was this temple in building." John 2:20. According to Haggai's prophecy, the Desire of all nations had now come to this temple.
