The Temple of Solomon - prefiguring the "man child" in Revelation

 

Haggai 2:6-9

"This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.

I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty.

'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD Almighty.

'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the LORD Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the LORD Almighty."

The ten plagues shook the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. The Israelites were able to take silver and gold from Egyptians before they left, owning the desired of all nations since Joseph was the prime minister.

Exodus 11:1-2

Now the LORD had said to Moses, "I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely.

Tell the people that men and women alike are to ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold."

The Israelites established the first house for God in the desert, that is, the Tent of Moses. Furniture in the tent, such as the ark, the censer, the lampstand and the robe, needed to be made of gold so that they might show the glory and nobility of God.

People could observe the seven feasts set up by the Lord after the establishment of the tent, celebrating three times a year. In fact, these feasts make up the timetable for the child to grow up.

Deuteronomy 16:16

Three times a year all your men must appear before the LORD your God at the place he will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Tabernacles. No man should appear before the LORD empty-handed.

The Israelites entered Canaan, defeated 33 cities there and established Israel. Their military power was the greatest when David was the king. Nations paid tributes to them every year.

Israel was very wealthy when Solomon was the king. The most glorious temple, the Holy Temple of Solomon, was built at that time.

However, all the tents and the temple mentioned above are symbols of the church that will be established by the Lord Jesus later.

The church is the male child mentioned in Revelation 12. It’s the most glorious bridal church in the last days.

Revelation 12:5

She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.

The woman in this verse refers to Israel. Her male child represents the most glorious church in the last days. That will be a church snatched up to God like Enoch and Elijah. Like the Lord Jesus, they will rule nations with an iron scepter.

God will shake the heaven and earth, the sea and dry land to provide them with wealth to build a more glorious holy temple than Solomon’s.

Not only that, just like the building of Solomon’s holy temple, no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool will be heard when the most glorious holy temple is building in the last days until all works are finished.

1 Kings 6:7

In building the temple, only blocks dressed at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool was heard at the temple site while it was being built.

When the temple of the last days is building, it will be just like the child hidden in the woman’s womb. No one outside could see him until he is fully grown and delivered.

The church that is expected to be great must have all kinds of power, wisdom, knowledge and wealth so that the greatest glory will be shown once the child is born and the Good News will be delivered widely.

This church will be caught up to God in a short period of time so that an even greater restoration will occur during the seven years of disaster.

The 2012 sermons are the final call to the child, for this is the time of Haggai, meaning that God is shaking the heaven and earth, the sea and dry land.

Therefore, God’s glory will be shown to human beings shortly. Rapture will come shortly too!

Haggai 2:6-9

"This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.

I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty.

'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD Almighty.

'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the LORD Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the LORD Almighty."
