2 Chronicles 5:11-14

Heaven and earth are  filled with Your glory.

Hosanna in the highest blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.

With the coming of the Messiah, and fulfillment of the Scriptures, God’s glory is no longer restricted to a man made temple. Through Jesus’s salvation on the cross we become living temples made without hands. The glory of God now resides in us in the person of Holy Spirit.

2 Chronicles 5:11-14

11 And it came to pass when the priests came out of the Most Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without keeping to their divisions), 12 and the Levites who were the singers, all those of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, stood at the east end of the altar, clothed in white linen, having cymbals, stringed instruments and harps, and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets—13 indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying: “For He is good, For His mercy endures forever,” that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God. The New King James Version

On this day of inaugurating the temple all the priests participated in the services regardless of their priestly divisions. From then on they would serve in rotation according to their division. The Most Holy Place was normally restricted to the high priest only on this occasion the regular priests had entered it to bring in the ark. Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun were the heads of the divisions of Levitical musicians. The east end of the altar was between the east gate of the inner court and the great bronze altar. Altogether there were far more than one hundred and twenty priests; the ones numbered here were probably a select group of instrumentalists. It suggests, the cloud was a manifestation of God’s glory. In a sense, the cloud both revealed and concealed the glory of God, which is too awesome for human eyes to see. The NKJV Study Bible

God took possession of the temple; he filled it with a cloud. Thus he signified his acceptance of this temple, to be the same to him that the tabernacle of Moses was, and assured his people that he would be the same in it. 

Would we have God dwell in our hearts, we must leave room for him; every thing else must give way. The Word was made flesh; and when he comes to his temple, like a refiner’s fire, who may abide the day of his coming? May he prepare us for that day. Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary

Exodus 40:34 Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

1 Chronicles 13:8 Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.

2 Chronicles 7:3 When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the LORD, saying:“For He is good, for His mercy endures forever.”
