We will now begin to look at two different versions of the construction of Solomon’s Temple in 1 Kings 6. Four hundred and eighty years after the Exodus the work begins. We are given a detailed description of this structure.
Once again, however, there is a message from Jehovah that contains an “If” clause. They must obey everything He has commanded if they wanted Him to continue to abide there. No matter how beautiful the building, for God to stay, we must follow his instructions for our lives. Even if we take seven years or more for the construction.
Fire comes down from Yahweh in 2 Chronicles 7. After the Lord consumes the first sacrifice that is offered, many others are presented. This was just the start of the two-week party.
Solomon hears from Jehovah a second time. The blessings and the curses that were given to Moses are given to the King. He is told to follow God’s laws and his throne will be established. It ended at his death. We will look at the transgressions that caused this later.
We thank Jehovah in Psalm 136 for His goodness, creation, mercy, and miracles. His power and glory are great. His love endues forever, and we should thank Him for that.
