1 Kings 8:27 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

But will — Is it possible that the great, and high, and lofty God should stoop so low, as to take up his dwelling amongst men? The heaven — All this vast space of the visible heaven. And heaven, &c. — The third and highest, and therefore the largest heaven, called the heaven of heavens for its eminency and comprehensiveness. Contain — For thy essence reacheth far beyond them, being omnipresent. Much less — This house therefore was not built as if it were proportionable to thy greatness, or could contain thee, but only that therein we might serve and glorify thee.
