1 Kings9:3
3 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and thy supplication that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever , and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually .
I have my Glorious Presence in the Cloud, and by my Acceptation of thy Sacrifices Sanctified it to my proper use and Service.
As long as the Mosaical Dispensation lasts; whereas hitherto my Name and Worship hath been successively in several places.
i. e. My watchful and gracious Providence.
My true and tender Affection.
Shall be towards this Place and People.
Upon condition of your Obedience; as it here follows.
