The temple-building narrative of 1 Kings 5 addresses the 'soul dissonance' believers feel as foreigners in this world by tracing God's promise of a dwelling place from David through Solomon to Jesus, the true temple, showing that the cure for this dissonance is gospel purpose and gospel hope while awaiting Christ's return.
