In 2 Chronicles today we read about the work that Solomon had done in building the first temple. We know from other places in Scripture that it was breathtakingly beautiful and that nothing built since even compared to it! In Jerusalem today the scholars and craftsmen are busily at work re-creating the utensils to be used in the third temple. THIS temple will be used after the Church of Jesus Christ is removed from the earth and the last 7 years of Jewish history begins. Here is a picture of the Menorah that they have made:
This is all very exciting for the born again believer because it points toward the soon appearing of our Lord and Savior, Jesus! But I want to share something even more exciting for us at this present time. 2 Chronicles 5:13-14 tells us what happened when the temple Solomon built was dedicated:
13 And when the trumpeters and singers were joined in unison, making one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and other instruments for song and praised the Lord, saying, For He is good, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever, then the house of the Lord was filled with a cloud, 14 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.

16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? ESV
While we, the Church, are still here on the earth, we ARE the temple of the Living God! HE lives in US! He is present on earth in no other place! Where WE go, there HE goes! HE is counting on us to take His presence wherever there is a need and wherever the lost are so that they can be found! Be about your Father's business and all about taking His presence to the lost! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Oceans, Where Feet May Fail":
Shalom in Him!
