Horatius Bonar explores the significance of the temple site chosen by God, revealing how David's sin led to the identification of Moriah as the resting place for God's name. He emphasizes that this location symbolizes the intersection of judgment and grace, where life begins and death is halted. Bonar highlights the importance of the Gentile connection to the temple, illustrating that all nations have a place in God's plan. He also notes that the temple's establishment was a divine response to human pride and sin, and that God honors the ordinary work of individuals like Oman, transforming their labor into a sacred space. Ultimately, Bonar reflects on the transition from the tabernacle to the temple, marking a new era in God's relationship with His people.
