Read 1 Kings 9; 2 Chron. 8
Solomon has established his kingdom and built his house and the house for the Lord. God once again promised to continue His favor to David’s posterity as long as the people remain true to God. This covenant was conditional and they eventually broke it and suffered the consequences.
Solomon took his wife, daughter of Pharaoh, and moved her from the city of David to her house. His wife is a type of the Bride. She will be Gentile and come out of Satan’s kingdom into God’s. We are called out of darkness and sin and brought into God’s marvelous light.
Since Solomon’s reign is a type of the millennial reign we see that we will once again observe God’s feasts as a people.
The ones who had to pay tribute were the unregenerate people who are still alive. There will be non-Christians on the earth during the last millennium. They will be subject to Christ and his rules. God’s people will be tax-exempt!
Lord, give us eyes to see that the future is not in this realm or in this time but in eternity. Let us live today with eternity in our hearts.
