Three thousand years ago the Lord gave David, as King of Israel, the vision of building the temple in Jerusalem. David, because he had been involved in so much warfare, against his enemies, God forbade him to build his temple. This marvellous work was placed in the hands of David's son, Solomon. The temple in Jerusalem was one of the most magnificent and costly structures, built by man, in the ancient world. God no longer lives in temples made by men's hands. Each born again, blood bought child of God, is a new temple of the Holy Spirit.
