2 Chronicles 6:1 "Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness"
The cherubim set up in the tabernacle and first temple were enveloped in a cloud of thick darkness.a At night, the cloud, which was visible without the former, appeared like a blaze of fire;b but in the day, it towered aloft as a pillar of cloud. Darkness and fire were frequent accompaniments of the divine presence; indeed, always so upon great occasions. The presence, of the Lord upon Mount Sinai was a magnificent and terrible example; and when Jesus expired in blood, Judea was veiled in darkness, and God looked upon it.
