1 Kings 8:1-11
The King Solomon summoned into his presence at Jerusalem the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes and the chiefs of the Israelite families, to bring up the ark of the Lord's covenant from Zion.
The priest and Levites carried them up, and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had gathered about him were before the ark.
There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horen, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelite after they came out of Egypt.
When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the Lord.
Work complete, the Ark is brought from the citadel and installed in the inner sanctuary. And the whole Temple building shines with the light of God's presence - the same bright cloud that once rested on God's Tent in the desert.
Why?
The Ark have to be carried by priests , can't carry by car or other ways.
Inside the ark is the covenant of two tablets, it is the law between God and Israelite. It is the kernel of they worship. The cloud fill the temple means God's presence with them.
How?
Now we are the temple of the Lord, let God's word and Holy Spirit fills me is the only way to make glory of God from us.
