Ask Doc - Did God Really Want a Temple? Rethinking Solomon's Grand Project

Описание: Ask Doc – Did God Really Want a Temple? Rethinking Solomon’s Grand Project

Did God ever truly command the building of the Temple—or was it a concession to human ambition? This study traces the question from Exodus to Revelation, examining the Tabernacle, David’s intentions, Solomon’s construction, and Christ’s fulfillment as the true Temple of God. Through Scripture, theology, and archaeology, it exposes how the Temple was permitted, not commanded—replaced by Christ’s body and His indwelling Spirit within believers.

Explore the divine pattern: from the Tabernacle of Moses, to David’s tent of worship, to the living Temple of Christ and His Church. Learn why God’s presence was never meant to be confined to architecture, but to dwell in His people forever.
