Bible Question: 1 Kings 8:12, Solomon is dedicating the Temple and he prays " The Lord said that He would dwell in thick darkness. What does that mean? |
Bible Answer: Greetings, Actually, it's not a darkness, but a cloud. It's referring to Exodus 19:9. One of the common forms God took in the Old Testament to signify his presence was that of a cloud. In the days of the Exodus, God used and spoke through a cloud. In the temple, as long as a cloud was viewed above the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies, then God's presence was there. Jalek |
