Zerubbabel and Jeshua set up the alter, long before the corner stone is placed for the temple. When the alter is set up daily sacrifices, celebrations, and free will offerings are now starting up again. The people begin to worship before a temple is in place. We must learn that we worship at our alters every day, no matter what we make our alters too. Do we worship at the alter of netflix, movies, sports, food, comfort, money? We have many alters. Then the cornerstone is laid at the place of the temple, and something incredible happens, the people shout! Some groan, and cry, and some shout for joy. Worship always evokes a reaction!
