1 Kings 8:27: "But in fact, God dwell on earth? Behold, heaven, and even heaven of heaven, cannot contain you, the less this house I have built." This verse is part of Solomon's prayer and recognizes that God is too great to be contained in one place, like the temple.

1 Kings 8:41-43: "And also, about the foreigner, that it is not of your people Israel, when it comes with remote lands, for the sake of your name (for they will hear from your greatness, and your strong hand, and of Your extended arm), and pray for this house, hear you in the heavens, place of your dwelling, and do according to all that the foreigner asks you; so that all the peoples of the earth know your name, to you fear like your Israel people. " These verses are part of Solomon's prayer, asking God to hear the prayers of those who come from other countries to worship him in the temple and that all peoples know the greatness of God.

Psalm 132:13-14: "For the Lord has chosen Zion; he desired it to his dwelling, saying, This is my place of rest forever; here I will dwell, for I wished it." These verses show God's desire to dwell in Zion, where Solomon's temple was built.

" These verses show how worship of God is not limited to a physical place, but it must be in spirit and in truth.
