Solomon Prayed and Fire Came from Heaven, part d

2 Chronicles 7:1-7

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 the LORD filled the house. And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house. And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD. 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 God. And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.

The servants of God could not enter the House of God filled with the Shekinah Glory, why? Because they were afraid as the Children of Adam to be in the presence of a Holy God (Exodus 19:16-18; Exodus 40:34-38; I Kings 6:13). Shekinah is not written in the Bible but there is theological evidence of its meaning as introduced by Jewish rabbis. The etymology (history of the word) of “Shekinah” is from the Hebrew word shākan, which means “to reside or permanently stay.” Christianty.com God told Moses that it would not serve him well to see God's Face, (Exodus 33:20). The account of God as Jesus leading them out of the wilderness was a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night (Exodus 13:20-22). Christ represents the Shekinah Glory as He is the both God and man in one person, so He could be the embodiment of the redemption of our sin (Colossians 2:9-10). We would be foolish to take sin (self-inflicted nonsense) into the presence of God Almighty.

Jehovah Elohim Tsaba, LORD God of Hosts- Psalm 59:5; we thank You for being The Lord God of Host. We praise You for showing us the Fire of Your Grace and the Kindness of Your Presence. Therefore, we decree and declare the blessing (the indwelling of the Holy Spirit) upon those who ask for forgiveness of our sins; so that, we who are purged by fire will do Your Will knowing the Shekinah Glory of Your Presence. Now, for the Kingdom and Glory of God, we petition, with the anointing of the Holy Ghost, in the authority of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.
