Scripture focus
Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.
1 Kings 8:43 — KJV
Do according to all. How different was the spirit of Solomon on this occasion from that which actuated the Hebrew people in succeeding years! God’s covenant was to include, not only one nation, but all. His grace was not for the Hebrews only but for all who were willing to acknowledge Him. When the Temple was first established, Solomon remembered the strangers of other lands, that they too might hear of God’s covenant of grace and come to the Temple to worship Him. Israel was to be a light that was to enlighten the world. Had they been faithful to their divine mission, the nation would not have perished, but would have continued to grow till it embraced all the nations of earth, till Jerusalem would have become the world’s metropolis, and its Temple would have become the source of a river of life to bring health and healing to all (Zech. 14:8).
