The Temple is the focal point for Jewish worship for almost 350 years. From time to time, the people fall away from God and begin serving idols. However, whenever there is a period of revival and reformation, often it involves the Temple. We see evidence of this in the days of Solomon, Rehoboam, Hezekiah, and Josiah. Scriptures referenced include Psalm 85:6; 2 Chronicles 2:2; Ephesians 2:22; 1 Peter 2:56; 2 Chronicles 7:14; 2 Chronicles 12; 2 Chronicles 15; 2 Chronicles 29; 2 Chronicles 30; and 2 Chronicles 34.
