yesss last exam tomorrow! can't wait for it to be over..
Day 137.
So the temple is completed and now the ark of the covenent of the Lord is being brought into the temple. As the Levites and the elders were bringing the ark into the temple, it is recorded that King Solomon and the entire congregation of Israel who were assembled before the ark were sacrificing sheep and oxen, and they sacrificed so many of them that it couldn't even be counted! haha i found that pretty cool.. Goes to show how big of an importance it was to them. Then it goes on in 2 Chronicles 5:11-14, saying that after the ark was in the temple, the priest came out of the Most Holy Place and the Levites along with the musicians started praising and thanking God in song.
13 indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying:
“For He is good,
For His mercy endures forever,"

that the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.
It was really cool in v14, how the priests couldn't minister anymore because the glory of the Lord filled the whole place in a form of a cloud. It must've been a pretty thick cloud to actually stop them from ministering! Hopefully i will be in a place like that one day too! But the amazing fact is that what caused the glory of the Lord to fill the house of God in the first place was their worship! They were singing, and praising God and in the process, God's glory just fell in that place. How awesome is that.
