2 Chronicles 7:14 (New International Version)
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
The Ques is... Who is Solomon's LORD when the LORD speaks to him that night? Was It Jesus? Or God?
Why does David or Solomon or anybody before Jesus NEVER mention the name "Jesus Christ" if he's the LORD the Almighty? They are the great messenger of God right?

It was God. Solomon was before Jesus was born. After Jesus died on the cross they call it the holy trinity. The father, the son, and the holy spirit (3-in-1). When you pray, you should always pray in the name of Jesus your savior that died on the cross for your sins. Jesus was the sacrifice and it says in the Bible that no one can come to the father but through him. Solomon spoke directly to God because back then, (before Jesus) they had to sacrifice sheep for their sins. David and Solomon never mentioned Jesus because it was thousands of years before Christ. They did know of a King or savior if you will that would come to earth to save them but I believe they spoke directly to God.

jesus isn't mentioned in the old testiment because he didn't exist yet. God was the one calling for solomon....to me this is common knowledge....so i'm confused as to what you are trying to figure out here. Jesus didn't come along till the new testiment, which is why he is not mentioned in the old testiment. think of the trilogy like a triagle....there is God, Jesus (son of God) and the the holy spirit and the 3 are one....just like we are made up of a mind, body and soul....we have 3 parts, he has 3 parts...

That is a great verse...
Solomon's Lord was God...Who, later, is incarnate in Jesus Christ.
Now, for you to think about:
Who do you think Job is referring to, when he says
"For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he shall stand at the latter [day] upon the earth:
Job 19:26 And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in my flesh shall I see God" Job 19:25 (KJV)

Jesus Christ was given a earthly name when he came to earth. He was called many names in the Old Test if you look it up. That is a great scripture, but would have been better quoted from KJV.

It was Jesus & God. They are one!
There is much prophecy about Jesus in the Old Testament. You must remember Jesus has many names. In the O.T. He is referred to as Messiah, Savior, LORD, Lamb, the Prince, etc.

He simply talking about his 'god.' He would have no knowledge of Christ at that point.
