A house for the Name of Our God – 1 Chronicles 28 vs 2, Matt21:13

The book of Psalms written by David, Asaph and Ethan the Ezratite, somewhere we see the maskil (Psalm 32, 34), ascents, dedication of the temple (Psalm 30), wedding songs (Psalm 45), Mik tam (Psalm 57) contains both stories like in Psalm (2, 18) which tells of his escape from Absalom, a prayer (Psalm 86, 90), we see praise (Psalm 100), he talks about who God is from Aleph to Taw Psalm 119.
As a director of music (Psalm 64, 65, 66, 67, 77) using stringed instruments. He writes about his circumstances, situation, praise, prayer using pipe and stringed instruments (Psalm 6), he makes a petition (Psalm 38), circumstances (Psalm 51), Sabbath (Psalm 92) and more?
What picture does this give us? It shows us the PICTURE of the vision David had in his heart.

The songs of David – we worship in the house of the lord; the prayer of David – we pray in the house of the Lord, circumstances of David – the church is a place we bring our problems to; we have ministers like Asaph and Ethan in the house of God, Instruments in the house of God, Director of music in the house of God (David). We share testimonies and praise God. Most of all David prayer all through his circumstances reveals his relationship with Elohim, hence is why Jesus calls his father’s house a house of Prayer.

Thus, 1 Chronicles 28: 2 David first had the picture of the first CHURCH (House of Prayer): saying I had it in my heart to build a HOUSE as a place of REST for the ARK of the covenant of the LORD, a footstool of our God = Build a house for my name (House of God).

We have a new covenant in Christ Jesus, who gives us rest from all our troubles; The house of God is like its owner; where we praise, make petition, where God is to hear his testimony at the footstool of Elohim.

Summary

The book of Psalms, authored by David, Asaph, and Ethan the Ezratite, encompasses a rich variety of themes and forms. It includes the maskil (Psalm 32, 34), songs of ascent, temple dedications (Psalm 30), wedding songs (Psalm 45), and Mik tam (Psalm 57), each weaving narratives such as David’s escape from Absalom (Psalm 2, 18), prayers (Psalm 86, 90), praises (Psalm 100), and an extensive exploration of God’s attributes from Aleph to Taw in Psalm 119.

David, serving as a director of music (Psalm 64, 65, 66, 67, 77) using stringed instruments, explores his circumstances, offering praise, prayers with pipe and stringed instruments (Psalm 6), petitions (Psalm 38), repentance (Psalm 51), and reflections on the Sabbath (Psalm 92).

These Psalms collectively depict David’s spiritual journey and vision. They portray worship and prayer in the house of the Lord, where believers bring their troubles (Psalm 6), share testimonies, and offer praises. Ministers like Asaph and Ethan serve alongside David, directing music and praising God. David’s prayers throughout his trials reveal his deep relationship with Elohim, reflecting Jesus’ declaration of the temple as a house of prayer.

In 1 Chronicles 28:2, David’s vision to build the first house of prayer underscores his desire to provide a place of rest for the Ark of the Covenant, symbolizing God’s presence.

Under the new covenant in Christ, believers find rest and redemption. The house of God embodies its owner’s character, a sanctuary for worship, petitions, and testimony at the footstool of Elohim.
