Listen "13. Did Yahweh Yawn at Solomon’s Temple?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Wise Counsel, we explore one of the most significant themes in biblical theology: the concept of God's temple and His presence among His people. From the grandiosity of Solomon's Temple to the more subdued Second Temple, we examine whether Yahweh was ever truly impressed with these monumental structures or if He had something greater in mind all along. We’ll dive into the theological implications of the temple, unpacking why God never really needed a physical structure to dwell with His people. Instead, His presence has always been about relationship, not buildings. Join us as we discuss the transition from the tabernacle to the temple, the absence of God's glory in the Second Temple, and the revolutionary idea that the true temple is now in us, the people of God. Don't miss this deep dive into God’s presence, His sacred space, and what it means for us today.
