As soon as Solomon finished the Temple dedication prayer, God signified the approval of his prayer and sacrifices by consuming it with fire.
The Priests could not enter the Temple because of the intensity of God’s glory in the Temple, and the people bowed down in worship and gave thanks.
At the end of the 14-day festive event, which involved great animal sacrifice, the people returned to their homes glad and joyful for God's good deeds to David, Solomon, and Israel.
For the second time, God appeared to Solomon in a dream, affirming his approval of the Temple as a place where God would listen when they repented of their sins.
God extends to Solomon his covenant to David, but on the grounds of obedience to His decrees and commands.
God also warned that Solomon’s rebellion would lead to the rejection of the people and the Temple, and be accompanied by disasters.
Apostle Paul, in his pastoral letter to Timothy, charged him to warn the people against petty controversial words, as they only ruin those who listen
Timothy must do his best to be approved by God, not indulge in shameful works, but correctly interpret the word of truth
Substandard teaching is an infectious pox; it accumulates as poison in the soul
Like Hymenaeus and Philetus, who are bad examples, they mislead people by claiming the resurrection of the dead has already occurred
These words are written on God’s firm foundation: “God knows who belongs to him” and “All who belong to God must turn away from evil.”
Turning away from evil is the way to stay pure, maintain a clean life, and be a special vessel for honorable use
It makes people holy, useful to the Master, and prepared to do any good work
