It was built by King Solomon and became a focal point for Jewish religious life. The temple's significance is rooted in its role as the dwelling place of God on earth, where sacrifices and offerings were made. This phrase highlights the temple's influence and the reverence it commanded among surrounding nations. The temple's location in Jerusalem, a city chosen by God, underscores its importance. Theologically, the temple foreshadows Jesus Christ, who referred to His body as the temple (<a href="/john/2-19.htm">John 2:19-21</a>), indicating that He is the ultimate dwelling place of God among humanity.<p><b>kings will bring You gifts</b><br>This phrase reflects the practice of foreign kings bringing tribute to honor a greater king, acknowledging his power and seeking favor. Historically, this was common in the ancient Near East, where vassal states would bring gifts to more powerful empires. In the biblical context, it signifies the recognition of God's sovereignty by the nations. This imagery is prophetic, pointing to the future Messianic kingdom where all nations will acknowledge and worship God. It also connects to the visit of the Magi in <a href="/matthew/2-11.htm">Matthew 2:11</a>, who brought gifts to Jesus, recognizing Him as King. This act of bringing gifts symbolizes submission and reverence to God's authority and foreshadows the ultimate reign of Christ, where every knee will bow (<a href="/philippians/2-10.htm">Philippians 2:10</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/temple_at_jerusalem.htm">Temple at Jerusalem</a></b><br>The central place of worship for the Israelites, symbolizing God's presence among His people.
