The Origin of Solomon and His 700 Wifes According To Scripture

The Origin of Solomon and His 700 Wifes According To Scripture

You are in the middle of the beautiful temple complex in Jerusalem, about 3,000 years ago. The hot sun in the Middle East shines off of shiny stones and tall towers. Along with the smell of incense, you can hear quiet prayers and the sound of traditional bells ringing every once in a while.

Standing at the heart of this meeting of gods, Solomon is a figure that is both wise and mysterious. Solomon is a complicated figure who is hard to pin down. He is king, a teacher, and a supposed magician. But what if I told you that behind his understanding of the world and amazing buildings is a story so mysterious that it goes beyond the everyday and touches the divine?

The sky above Gibeon at night was full of stars, and each one was a quiet witness to the divine play going on below. Solomon was sleeping. He was a young king who was still getting used to the weight of his new crown. God showed up to him in what is often called a theophany, and he was given an offer that very few people have ever gotten. Some sources, like the Gospel of Thomas, say that the conversation between God and Solomon may have been a spiritual introduction, setting the stage for a life that would always balance between the spiritual and the material.

Almighty God, I entrust my hopes, dreams, and aspirations to your loving care. May your guiding hand lead me closer to you, and may your presence be a constant source of strength and inspiration in my life. Amen.

[The__Witnesses]

Although Solomon became increasingly entrapped in occultism, he repented of his sins by acknowledging the emptiness of chasing the desires of this world.

With king Solomon enough was never enough. Remember that the all- mighty God who gave everything and took nothing, Solomon had it all and it was't enough. Lust was down fall.

I'm beginning to think a lot of sci-fi and anime super powers i.e john constantines and master roshi mafuba are based off these old stories whether true or not

Great Kings are there as history to be studied in order to not to repeat the same mistakes.

So Solomon was given supernatural wisdom directly from God? he was favored and rewarded for honoring God and now we’re supposed to believe that with all that favor and access to God, he needed a special ring to deal with demons? we’re also supposed to believe that God would be OK with someone who he blessed to interact and use evil forces as cheap labor? Somehow, I don’t think God would be OK with that. Cool story though.

It doesn’t sound Godly, ordering around demons to build a Temple!
The house that demons built? Does that sound good to anyone?

How can you get help from an unclean spirit and then say holy, holy, holy.

[gdas]

What!? Israel? At the times of Solomon? Now, that's gonna make some people's heads explode lol

[pattyblevins]

Google Solomon married Pharaoh’s daughter. God warned Solomon what could happen. It’s in the Bible.

This is why we need the new temple! When Jesus walked the earth, he went to the temple to pray. The holy can't have one temple on earth it"s been provenance time and time again. Demons are real ! The return of christ! We need a temple that is clean from unclean spirit's so, Jesus will be comfortable praying for spirit's.
