1 | Temple building | 1 Chr 28:6 | Natoochton | 156306 | ||
Hello all, Never in the scriptures does God condone building a temple, he has them build the tabernacle, but never the temple. WHy is this? My first thought was that God wanted to set them apart, but I don't know. Is it similar to that of their desire to have a King, instead of the true King they already had? |

2 | Temple building | 1 Chr 28:6 | Wild Olive Shoot | 156307 | ||
Natoochton, God did condone the building of the temple. 1 Chronicles 28 (NIV) 1 David summoned all the officials of Israel to assemble at Jerusalem: the officers over the tribes, the commanders of the divisions in the service of the king, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and the officials in charge of all the property and livestock belonging to the king and his sons, together with the palace officials, the mighty men and all the brave warriors. 2 King David rose to his feet and said: "Listen to me, my brothers and my people. I had it in my heart to build a house as a place of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, for the footstool of our God, and I made plans to build it. 3 But God said to me, 'You are not to build a house for my Name, because you are a warrior and have shed blood.' 4 "Yet the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me from my whole family to be king over Israel forever. He chose Judah as leader, and from the house of Judah he chose my family, and from my father's sons he was pleased to make me king over all Israel. 5 Of all my sons—and the LORD has given me many—he has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel. 6 He said to me: 'Solomon your son is the one who will build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. 7 I will establish his kingdom forever if he is unswerving in carrying out my commands and laws, as is being done at this time.' 2 Samuel 7:12-14(NIV) 12 When your days are over and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with the rod of men, with floggings inflicted by men. WOS |

3 | Temple building | 1 Chr 28:6 | Natoochton | 156310 | ||
I understand, but what I see in this passage is not God telling the Israelites to build him a temple. God did not tell them to build a temple, it was only after David told Him "I will build you a temple" that God allowed for this to happen. In my mind I see this passage to have a great deal of similarity with that of electing a King. God did not tell the Israelites to have a King, He was their King, and it was only after they persisted that he allowed for a King to be chosen. Also, it seems as if in both these circumstances they are rejecting God and taking on the customs of pagans, who ahd a King? the pagans/everyone else, the same as true as far as the temple is concerned. Now I'm not sure about the tabernacle, as far as I understand though, the tabernacle like the one at Shiloh was one of its kind, in that it was God ordered. | ||||||

Hi, Nato... Don't you think it was within the providence of God to place that desire in the heart of David? Also, if God had not been in favor of the construction of the temple, would He have honored it with His presence (1 King 8:11)? In Him, Doc |
