V.1-12 The house of the king was over 4 times bigger than the temple and took Solomon almost twice as long to build it. Do we learn something from this? But in the day when all this is fulfilled on earth, we believers will be with Christ, sharing not only heavenly blessings, but His rule over the earth, as “the bride, the Lamb’s wife” (Rev. 21:9-27).
V.7 Here also Solomon gave decisions on all matters concerning the kingdom. It is all a picture of the reign of Christ during the millennium, when the Lord shall rule the world through Israel.
V.15-22 Two pillars “Jachin” (meaning “He will establish”) and “Boaz” (meaning “in Him is strength”), both beautifully decorated. Christ will fulfill both in His own blessed Person in the millennium. He alone can be the same for us Christians now.
