Solomon’s Temple

Bible Reference: 1 Kings 5-10, Ezekiel 10

King David was given a vision and a heart to build a temple to honor God.
After moving the Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle to Mt. Zion, he gathered materials and items for his son and successor Solomon to complete the task.
Construction of the temple began in the four years of the reign of King Solomon and the project was completed in seven years, placing its completion in 959 BC.
Solomon’s Temple was built with the finest materials and followed the same general design as the tabernacle, but instead of being portable, this building was designed to reflect the greatness of God.
The presence of God and His glory came upon and stayed within the temple after the Ark of the Covenant was placed in the Holy of Holies.
The Prophet Ezekiel saw the glory of the Lord depart from the temple and never return when the city of Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians in 587 BC.
