1 Kings 6:18,29• 18And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
 29And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without. (1 Kings 6:18,29)
• The veil is not mentioned here. A double door of olive wood (1 Kings 6:31) overlaid with gold replaces it — a free, large access, allowing one’s view to penetrate into the most holy place. (“The Temple: 1 Kings 6” by H.L. Rossier)
• Palm trees or palm branches also have their significance in the Word. When the Lord entered Jerusalem as the King of Peace, His disciples bore palm branches before Him. It is the sign of the peaceful triumph of a reign about to be inaugurated. Similarly, the immense multitude of Revelation 7 carry palm branches in their hands, celebrating the Lamb’s victory. The palm trees of Elim are the symbol of peaceful protection in the wilderness; the palm branch (Isa. 9:14), a protection and shelter. Palms were used at the Feast of Tabernacles (Lev. 23:40), symbolic of the millennial celebration where the people, dwelling beneath palms and the branches of other green trees, shall take part in the universal rest of the kingdom. (“The Temple: 1 Kings 6” by H.L. Rossier)
• The half-open flowers are the emblem of a new season, of the beginning of spring (Song of Sol. 2:12). (“The Temple: 1 Kings 6” by H.L. Rossier)
• On the doors of the oracle (1 Kings 6:32) were found cherubim with palm trees and flowers. This was the only spot within the holy place where the cherubim could be seen. Similarly to the veil which they take the place of, the doors represent Christ who by giving Himself has opened up access for us to God. In the sanctuary the wisdom of God only is contemplated. Christ crucified is the wisdom of God. By His cross we enter the sanctuary in full peace, in full joy, and there we can in an intelligent way praise the Lamb who was slain. (“The Temple: 1 Kings 6” by H.L. Rossier)
