2 Chronicles 7:15 (KJV) Our Place is a Person

2 Chronicles 7:15 (KJV)
Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

Solomon’s prayer had everything to do with the place they had built to worship God. Therefore, the idea that it would be “exceeding magnifical”[1] makes sense because the people of God, in the Old Testament, essentially rested their faith upon that Temple.

While I believe true faith rested upon the Lord, even in the Old Testament.[2] God endorsed the concept of resting their faith in the Temple in our text. He would indeed be attentive unto the prayer made in that place.

Jesus is the reason for that. The Temple was a shadow of the Person, Jesus Christ. God’s eyes are open, and His ears are attent unto the prayers of His people when they pray in faith and in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. 

We do not hope in a place, a building, a ritual, or a location that represents our faith. Our faith looks to Jesus. 

• God sees that. 
• God hears that. 
• God answers that.

[1] 1 Chronicles 22:5 (KJV)
And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

[2] The Psalms make that clear.
