A Vision for Repentance

All commentators agree that the primary purpose of showing Israel the vision of the new temple was to provoke shame and repentance. By seeing the glorious future God had planned, the people would realize how far their disobedience had taken them. This principle applies today; seeing God's holiness and His good plans for us should highlight our own shortcomings and lead us to turn back to Him.
