Like the Tabernacle, I am (once again) fascinated by the specific instructions that were given to David and passed on to his son (Solomon) regarding building the Temple of the Lord. David wanted to build the temple to edify God but God told him that his son would be the one to actually build it. Solomon completed the project but learned that God would not be living in the Temple but rather in heaven. Nonetheless, the building was a magnificent testament to the blessings that God had provided to David and the chosen people of God.
