Trace the Development and Change in the Place of Worship...

So we can say that the beginning of worship started first with sacrifice Since the sacrifice is practice of worship. which we can see in the Genesis 4:3-4(And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering). Another sacrificial worship we find that Noah making sacrifice and God is pleased in it in Genesis 8:20-21(And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the†¦show more content†¦Books of Exodus and Leviticus gives detail and specific instruction on how to carry the worship and sacrifice service.

Exodus 33:10 says, When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would arise and worship, each at the entrance of his tent.). From Moses to till the time of Kind David, the worship place was temporary. King David expressed his desire to to build a permanent place of worship. However God didn’t permit to build since he was man of war, who had shed much human blood(1 Chronicles 22:7-9 7 David said to Solomon: My son, I had it in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God. 8 But this word of the LORD came to me: You have shed much blood and have fought many wars. You are not to build a house for my Name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight. 9 But you will have a son who will be a man of peace and rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon, and I will grant Israel pea ce and quiet during his reign.) So Solomon carries this duty to build temple.The temple was similar to the tabernacle in that they were largely devoted to sacrificial worship. But they were also places for prayers (1 Kings 8:22-53; Isaiah 56:7;
