Why didn't God allow David to build the Temple?

I remember the killings by the king was under GOD's instruction, save for Uriah's stuff and perhaps a few others.
 
.
1 Ch 28:2 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:

1 Ch 28:3 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood.
 
Did God ever ask for a temple ? or did God follow the wishes of man... Something down the lines of when He gave them a king...

thats a very good point never gave it much thought.. could be much like peter wanting to build booths at the transfiguration . nobble idea but was it necessary {or did God follow the wishes of man} i am thinking God allowed the wishes could be wring i have been before
 
Amo_9:11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

While I was reading your above post above, I have been thinking of the same thing below

There was a theme to set up and continue later. Judgment and then blessings.

David was judgement and Soloman was blessings.

Elijah was judgement and Elisha was blessings.

Moses was judgement and Joshua was blessings.

John the Baptist was judgement and Jesus was blessings.
 
I Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

If we open the door now, he will come in to us; just like David (in shadow form of the heart) (he comes into our hearts and minds). In the heart (of our flesh ) it takes the crucified Christ to deal with our desperately wicked heart transformation. In our mind the resurrected Christ Jesus rules our mind.
Romans 7:25
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

The tabernacle of David (IMHO) is our flesh, which has the promise of being changed at the last trump. The mind already comprehends the work of the risen Jesus of the cross, that moves the spirit (of our mind)

I John 2:27
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Romans 8:29
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth whatis the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God).

God works in our heart and mind.
Hebrews 8:10
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

That began in the NT / NC.
I John 2:27
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

If all this is not now working, then should we not now stop posting and await a future day?

The restoration is accomplished by Jesus.
I Peter 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Still (IMHO) still dealing with mind and flesh.

David and the tabernacle, Solomon and the temple? We done a dove off into deep theology. Symbols, shadows, types and all this while wearing welding goggles and trying to read under a 40 watt bulb.
