for your house will

Noticed something interesting in 2Chron2, and that's whom Solomon is building the temple for. v1 tells us that Solomon "decided to build a house for the name of the Lord". Not for the Lord, but for the name of the Lord. He confirms this in v4, and the same in IKing5.

The interpretations behind his choice of words? If you consider His name to be His actual name, Solomon is building a temple of such grandeur as to be worthy of the designation; if you consider His name to be His reputation, Solomon is building a temple whose congregation will spread His name to unbelievers; if you consider His name to be akin to His namesake, just a franchise, Solomon is simply building a house of worship to be remembered by all.

What if you consider His name to be another nickname for God Almighty? That this temple and the holy of holies is where the actual representation of God will dwell? Don't skimp on the pomegranates and bronze, then, because He's coming.
