What is a modern Baptist Church building supposed to look like?

I'm willing to cede the point,

I guess I should have put a smiley face after saying "Solomon's temple sounds good."  I wasn't wanting to make a point that it should be "Solomon's".  Because we are N.T. I love it being the house of the Lord in the Old Testament and the verses you pointed out about the glory of the LORD filling the temple.  The high priest was the only one allowed into the holy of holies.  So the significance of the temple veil being rent after our Savior's death is just so awesome!  I am a priest now.  I have permission to go to God having Christ as my mediator.  It doesn't get any better than that!  Christ in me, no need for a "holy of holies."  It was the house of the LORD, now I am!  Gives ya goose bumps, doesn't it?

Haggai 2:3-9 Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? 4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts: 5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not. 6 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. 9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

The house is little compared to the Glory. The second temple will have Christ Himself walk in it, if I understand Haggai correctly.
