II Chronicles
Chapter 7
1
Now when Solomon had made an end of praying,
the
fire came down from heaven,
and
consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices;
and
the glory of Jehovah/God filled the house.
2
And the priests could not enter into
the
house of Jehovah/God,
because
the glory of Jehovah/God
had
filled the Jehovah/God's house.
3
And when all the children of Israel
saw
how the fire came down,
and
the glory of Jehovah/God upon the house,
they
bowed themselves with their faces to the ground
upon
the pavement, and worshipped,
and
praised Jehovah/God, saying,
For
He is good;
for
His mercy/'acts of grace'
endures
forever.
4
Then the king and all the people
offered
sacrifices before Jehovah/God.
5
And king Solomon offered a sacrifice
of
twenty and two thousand oxen,
and
an hundred and twenty thousand sheep . . .
so
the king and all the people
dedicated
the house of 'Elohiym/Godhead.
6
And the priests waited on their offices . . .
the
Levites also with instruments of music of Jehovah/God,
which
David the king had made to praise Jehovah/God,
because
His mercy/'acts of grace' endures forever,
when
David praised by their ministry;
and
the priests sounded trumpets before them,
and
all Israel stood.
7
Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court
that
was before the house of Jehovah/God . . .
for
there he offered burnt offerings,
and
the fat of the peace offerings,
because
the brazen altar
which
Solomon had made
was
not able to receive the burnt offerings,
and
the meat offerings, and the fat.
8
Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days,
and
all Israel with him, a very great congregation,
from
the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.
9
And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly . . .
for
they kept the dedication of the altar seven days,
and
the feast seven days.
10
And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month
he
sent the people away into their tents,
glad
and merry in heart/'right lobe'
for
the goodness that Jehovah/God had showed unto David,
and
to Solomon, and to Israel His people.
11
Thus Solomon finished the house of Jehovah/God, and the king's house
and
all that came into Solomon's heart/'right lobe'
to
make in the house of Jehovah/God,
and
in his own house,
he
prosperously effected.
12
And Jehovah/God appeared to Solomon by night,
and
said unto him,
I
have heard your prayer,
and
have chosen this place to Myself
for
an house of sacrifice.
13
If I shut up heaven that there be no rain,
or
if I command the locusts to devour the land,
or
if I send pestilence among My people . . . 14~~
{Documentation for Client Nation to God Status}
If
My people {client nation to God},
who
are called by My Name/Person
{in the Church Age, is the Church},
shall
humble themselves, and pray, and seek My Face
{idiom meaning wanting to get to know God.
Means 'Occupation with Christ},
and
turn from their evil ways {rebound},
then
I {God} will hear from heaven,
and
will forgive their sin,
and
will restore/heal their land.
15
Now My eyes shall be open,
and
My ears attentive unto the prayer
that
is made in this place.
16
For now have I chosen and sanctified this house,
that
My Name/Reputation/Person may be there forever
and
My eyes and My heart/'right lobe'
shall
be there perpetually.
17
And as for you,
if
You will walk before Me,
as
David your father walked,
and
do according to all that I have commanded you,
and
shall observe My statutes and My judgments;
18
Then will I establish the throne of your kingdom,
according
as I have covenanted with David your father, saying,
There
shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.
19
But if you turn away,
and
forsake My statutes and My commandments,
which
I have set before you,
and
shall go and serve other gods/'elohiym,
and
worship them; 20
then
will I pluck them up by the roots
out
of my land which I have given them;
and
this house, which I have sanctified for My Name,
will
I cast out of My sight,
and
will make it to be a proverb
and
a byword among all nations.
21
And this house, which is high,
shall
be an astonishment to every one
who
passes by it;
so
that he shall say,
Why
has Jehovah/God done thus unto this land,
and
unto this house?
22
And it shall be answered,
Because
they forsook the Jehovah/God
'Elohiym/Godhead
of their fathers,
Who
brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,
and
laid hold on other gods/'elohiym,
and
worshipped them, and served them . . .
therefore
has He brought all this evil upon them.
