2 Chronicles 5:11 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place:(for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course: — 2 Chronicles 5:11
Source Coverage: 2 Chronicles 5:11-14
God took possession of the temple; he filled it with a cloud. Thus he signified his acceptance of this temple, to be the same to him that the tabernacle of Moses was, and assured his people that he would be the same in it. Would we have God dwell in our hearts, we must leave room for him; every thing else must give way. The Word was made flesh; and when he comes to his temple, like a refiner's fire, who may abide the day of his coming? May he prepare us for that day.
