2 Chronicles 5:2-14
Then Solomon summoned to 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 City of David.
The priests then brought the ark of the Lord’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim. The cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and covered the ark and its carrying poles.
The priests then withdrew from the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had consecrated themselves, regardless of their divisions.
They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets. The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang: “He is good; his love endures forever.”
Then the temple of the Lord was filled with the cloud, and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of God.
The Ark is installed with joyful music and singing and great thanksgiving. The glory of God's presence fills the Temple. Solomon speaks to the people.
Why?
Every priest has to consecrate themselves when they came to the Lord for service, for God is Holy. We have to get rid of sins and with a clean heart to serve the Lord.
Paise the Lord with song and trumpets and accompanied by cymbals and other instruments, this is a great praise team of worship.
God is good and his love endures forever. Even Israelites had left the way of the Lord, a few years later God brought them back to Jerusalem, so the love of the Lord is with them. So as to every Christian.
------------------------
聖殿的建造其實大多由大衛完成的。
所羅門最重要是迎接約櫃,迎接神的同在。
人看到神首先看到就是神與人立的約。耶和華本為善,祂的慈愛常存。良善代表公義與慈愛。人也要成為聖潔的。
眾以色列長老領袖都到了,利未人才抬約櫃,同樣今天教會敬拜與講道是全會眾的參與,雖然服事的人是少數人。
同聲讚美歌頌神時,神就與我們同在。讚美感謝敬拜時。
How?
Follow God's way and honor his name, for God's love endure forever.
