V.1-8 The laver was for the priests to wash their hands and feet. Every believer is a priest (1 Pet. 2:5). As priests we need constant washing to be kept clean by the Word of God (Eph. 5:2626That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, (Ephesians 5:26)). During the millennium, this is going to be a very important part of the operating of Christ’s glorious kingdom. Punishment against anyone who sins, will be carried out daily (Zeph. 3:55The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame. (Zephaniah 3:5)). So we see that the laver was very large in the temple.
V.9-18 These seem to be the articles made of brass. This metal is a picture of “testing” or “endurance.” The Lord Jesus completely endured the judgment of the cross. Who could ever measure this endurance?
V.19-22 Gold is a picture of God’s righteousness (perfect goodness). Only gold was used to make the pieces for the holiest of all and for the holy place. Brass was outside.
