The Temple

2 Chronicles 1-5

I'd always thought of the Temple of the Lord that Solomon built as being a huge building, but the overall measurements were only 30 feet by 90 feet... 2700 square feet... smaller than many houses these days. Looking at the further descriptions, it becomes apparent that the Temple is not the same thing as a modern church where services are held, but rather a dwelling place for God. There appears to be little space for people within the Temple, as it was to be filled with the presence of the Lord. Quite a difference from some (if not most) modern churches, where there is a lot of space for people, but precious little for God.
