Reading – 1 Kings 8
Highlight Verse:
“The priests and Levites brought up the Ark of the Lord along with the special tent and all the sacred items that had been in it.”
1 Kings 8:4 NLT
You might be thinking that moving the Ark to the Temple is not that big of a deal since God’s temple is now in our hearts.
The tent and the ark were the places where God met with mankind. To bring these to a permanent home at the seat of government for the Nation of Israel was a statement of dedication on Solomon’s part. God honored that statement by bringing His presence to the place.
It was not just a step in the right direction, but it was a necessary step toward bringing the Messiah to Earth.
God has been working throughout the ages to bring redemption to the people on the earth.
I, for one, am inclined to honor Solomon for making this part of the plan of redemption work.
Are you aware of the progression of God’s plan of redemption?”
Did you know those plans go way back hundreds of years?”
