Gentiles Building God's House
Commentators like Spurgeon and Gill see a profound prophecy in this verse. The fact that Gentiles—the Sidonians and Tyrians—provided essential materials for God's temple foreshadows the New Testament reality. It points to a future when non-Jews would be welcomed and used by God to help build His spiritual house, the Church, offering a 'door of hope' to all nations.
