TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

God’s Name on His Temple

In his prayer of dedication, Solomon declared that the Temple was the house where God’s name would be present (2 Chr 6:20; cp. 6:5-6). God had promised David that he would place his own name on the Temple in Jerusalem (2 Sam 7:4-17). When God puts his name in a place, it signifies his possession of it.

For the people of Israel, the Temple embodied the land God promised to them and marked by his name. It was the ultimate symbol of God’s relationship with Israel. So Solomon prayed that God would remember his relationship with Israel and hear their prayers at this Temple. Solomon’s prayer uses God’s personal name (Lord=Yahweh; see Exod 3:13-15) to make the Temple the definitive symbol of Israel’s faith. The Temple was the chosen place where the covenant was preserved, where the people of Israel called on God’s name and acknowledged God in confession and praise.

The fulfillment of God’s promise to put his name on his Temple is now to be found in the “living temple,” the community of God’s people. Peter urges believers to come “to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God’s temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor. And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God” (1 Pet 2:4-5). God’s name rests on his church as it did on his Temple.
