fillets with gold.
Ex. 27:10• 10And the twenty pillars thereof and their twenty sockets shall be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver. (Ex. 27:10)
• They rested, however, upon sockets of brass, not silver. Brass, as we shall see in more detail when we come to the court, is figurative of the immutable word of God and of unyielding judgment. From the fact that the pillars do not stand upon silver, they do not seem to suggest believers. Their number is that of responsibility, and they speak of Him who, as the shittim wood and gold also remind us, was God and Man alone able to meet it, standing firmly upon the immutable word of God. (“The Linen Curtains - Their Dimensions and So Forth” by S. Ridout)
• They were of, gold, which seems to refer to the blessed fact that our Lord, having finished His blessed work, is now crowned with divine glory. “We see Jesus... crowned with glory and honor” (Heb. 2:9). And is it not fitting that the brass foundations should thus be connected with the golden crowns? “Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?” (Luke 24:26). As between the brass at the foot and the gold at the head hung the door, so now between the sufferings of Christ and the glory which is soon to follow is suspended the precious gospel of grace and love through Him. (“The Linen Curtains - Their Dimensions and So Forth” by S. Ridout)
