Solomon Asks for His Prayer to Be Answered

The general thought of all seven prayers is that they are all done in or toward the house of God. It is “the prayer [offered] in this place” (2Chr 6:40). The answer of God in the next chapter connects to this (2Chr 7:15-16).

Solomon concludes his prayer (2Chr 6:41-42). He does so with a few words of David (Psa 132:8-10). Earlier the word “arise” (2Chr 6:41) is spoken to the ark of the covenant when the people of Israel began their journey through the wilderness (Num 10:35). Later David speaks these words when bringing up the ark from Kiriath-jearim to Zion (Psa 132:8). Here Solomon speaks these words when the ark gets its final resting place in the temple on Mount Moria.

The fact that the ark has been given its resting place is reason to speak about the priests and their garments. The priestly garments are “salvation”. It indicates that the Lord Jesus has taken His place in the heavenly sanctuary. The believers as priests may now enter in the consciousness of full assurance of salvation. That salvation is not based on anything in themselves, but is entirely the result of God’s acceptance of Christ and His work. We, as ‘godly ones’, as beneficiaries, may “rejoice in what is good”. It indicates complete satisfaction as a result of all that God has given us in Christ.

Solomon mentions the pleading ground (2Chr 6:42). He pleads on the ground of Whom the Anointed, that is Christ, is before God, for the people and the Anointed belong together. If the Anointed is heard, then the people are accepted. In ourselves there is no righteousness. Our righteousness can only be found in the Anointed.
