I don't wish to butt in because I haven't followed this conversation. But you referred Isaiah 60. I looked this up and it states:

Isa 60:6-7 "A multitude of camels will cover you, The young camels of Midian and Ephah; All those from Sheba will come; They will bring gold and frankincense, And will bear good news of the praises of the LORD. All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you, The rams of Nebaioth will minister to you; They will go up with acceptance on My altar, And I shall glorify My glorious house."

Isa 60:13 "The glory of Lebanon will come to you, The juniper, the box tree and the cypress together, To beautify the place of My sanctuary; And I shall make the place of My feet glorious.

Perhaps this is why I don't study eschatology. How in the @%#&#% does one get the "system of sacrifice" out of these verses??? If anything, I recall an event in the New Testament where gold, frankincense, and praise was indeed brought as referenced by Ish 60:6-7 but it wasn't in regards to the final coming.

As far as "I shall glorify my glorious house" why would people presume this means "the temple"? It could reference many things:

Mat 2:11 After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

or how about:

2Co 5:1 For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Sorry, I cannot see how this refers to some future temple. I think it's a stretch.

"All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you, The rams of Nebaioth will minister to you; They will go up with acceptance on My altar, And I shall glorify My glorious house."

Isaiah 2:1-5 and 60 are referring to the last days and the temple that will be rebuilt. Isaiah 60 is saying that there will be an altar and the above quote from vs 6 says that the flocks and rams will be sacrificed, "go up with acceptance on My altar", on that altar in the last days.

Couple more questions like that Harley and Buggman and topcat54 will have to give you the password like they gave me and then all this prophetic stuff will be clear and what is not clear, the password gives you authority to "interpret", "allegorize" and/or "spiritualize" with impunity. Then you too can be like Saul among the prophets. Neat huh?
