We looked at God’s promise of blessing and also warning to Solomon of what would happen if he turned aside from following God. This happened when God appeared to Solomon a second time after the dedication of the temple. The warning even extended to his children. But there was also the promise of blessing if Solomon remained faithful and followed God like David his father did. God promised to extend the same blessing He had given David to establish his throne forever. The warning came with the promise of judgement on the nation of Israel and the temple building itself if the people go and serve and worship other gods. This was done to be a declaration of the importance of fidelity to God to all the surrounding nations. That the world would know they faced judgement because they abandoned God. This same type of warning extends to the church. We looked at how passages in James and Hebrews speak to the importance of being true to God and not playing a game of externalized religion. God is the same yesterday today
