All the nations You have made will come to bow down before You, O Hashem, and they will pay honor to Your name Psalms 86:9 (The Israel Bible™)
כָּל־גּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָ יָבוֹאוּ וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְפָנֶיךָ אֲדֹנָי וִיכַבְּדוּ לִשְׁמֶךָ Hear the verse in Hebrew
kol go-YIM a-SHER a-SEE-ta ya-VO-u v’-yish-ta-kha-VU l’-fa-NE-kha a-do-NAI vee-kha-b’-DU lish-ME-kha
King Solomon built the Temple in a unique way which allowed all the nations of the world to come and be inspired by the light of Hashem. The tradition teaches that the windows of the Temple were constructed to allow the light from inside to shine outwards symbolizing the divine light emanating from the holy temple.
