2 Chronicles 6:18-21

2 CHRONICLES—NOTE ON 2 Chronicles 6:18 Prayers offered in or toward the temple will come before God in his heavenly dwelling place because his name is on the temple (vv. 2 Chronicles 6:20, 2 Chronicles 6:34, 2 Chronicles 6:38). This signifies both God’s spiritual presence in the temple and his ownership of it. (See note on 2:1.) The NT equivalent is prayer offered in Jesus’ name (see John 14:13).
