Theological / Devotional

Let the house. The Temple place was an ancient, holy site, chosen by God Himself. It was the place to which God directed Abraham when he went forth to sacrifice his son (Gen. 22:2), where the angel stood and stayed the pestilence in David’s time (2 Sam. 24:16, 17), and where “the glory of the Lord filled the house” in Solomon’s day (2 Chron. 7:1).
