God’s wisdom was displayed through Solomon in the decision about who was the mother of the baby. All Israel marveled at Solomon’s decision. It also showed us that Solomon was a personal king who sincerely cared about his people. Most kings wouldn’t have cared about the fate of the baby of a prostitute, but Solomon took the women’s concerns serious. Solomon is a type of Jesus in the Millennium when he sets up his earthly kingdom.
Solomon was a king of peace. He recognized the friendship of Hiram and his father and knew that Hiram had something he would need for his temple, and that was cedar. Solomon had something that Hiram needed for his people and that was food. He made a trade that was fair and made both men pleased. Hiram sent a craftsman named Huram-abi who was extremely talented in working with metals and fabric. We will still be using our talents during the millennium.
The temple was built on Mt. Moriah at the exact place where David saw the plague stop. He bought the land from Araunah. This was the same place that Jesus died on the cross stopping the plague of sin. Araunah means to shout for joy! We will do that when we see the temple rebuilt on that very spot.
I wish I could see a picture of the two angels that were in the fashioned for the Most Holy Place. They were placed side by side making their wing spans 30 feet wide. The room was only 30 feet so they touched both sides. They completely filled the room with their presence which is what the presence of the Lord does.
Lord, let you presence fill our rooms and our hearts.
