“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

1 John 2: 2

And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

If we, the bride, the church will grow in grace and truth and live truthfully then Christ will shine from within us and will manifest as he who saves many sinners.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that we, the bride, the church should be as those who carefully safeguard the wisdom that we have received from God. 

Next what we are meditating upon is that 1 Kings 10: 15 - 29 besides that from the traveling merchants, from the income of traders, from all the kings of Arabia, and from the governors of the country.

And King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. 

He also made three hundred shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. 

The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round at the back; there were armrests on either side of the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the armrests. 

Twelve lions stood there, one on each side of the six steps; nothing like this had been made for any other kingdom.

All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Not one was silver, for this was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon. 

For the king had merchant ships at sea with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the merchant ships came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and monkeys. 

So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

Now all the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 

Each man brought his present: articles of silver and gold, garments, armor, spices, horses, and mules, at a set rate year by year.

And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; he had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem. 

The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar trees as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland.

Also Solomon had horses imported from Egypt and Keveh; the king’s merchants bought them in Keveh at the current price. 

Now a chariot that was imported from Egypt cost six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse one hundred and fifty; and thus, through their agents, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.

In the above-mentioned verses, King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. He also made three hundred shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon. Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round at the back; there were armrests on either side of the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the armrests. Twelve lions stood there, one on each side of the six steps; nothing like this had been made for any other kingdom. All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Not one was silver, for this was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon. For the king had merchant ships at sea with the fleet of Hiram.

My dear people, the above-mentioned things are shown as a pattern for Christ, the bride, the church. That is, the throne of Christ is being kept within us and in the place where he sits two arm rests were kept and two lions stood beside the armrests and around it twelve lions were kept and the reason for making it in this manner is that on both his sides two people who have received anointing will be standing and with the experience of heaven they are standing along with him and God is explaining that. That is in Zechariah 4: 11 – 14 Then I answered and said to him, “What are these two olive trees—at the right of the lampstand and at its left?” 

And I further answered and said to him, “What are these two olive branches that drip into the receptacles of the two gold pipes from which the golden oil drains?”

Then he answered me and said, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”

So he said, “These are the two anointed ones, who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth.”

The above-mentioned thing as an example of this, God is explaining to us. Also, twelve lions were kept means they are a pattern of the forefathers of the twelve tribes and in the middle of them Christ as one who has worn the armour is revealed and God is showing this as a pattern. Also, regarding this the explanation in Revelation 11: 4 – 6 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. 

And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. 

These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.

Also, the grace and truth of Christ are the large shields and shields that Solomon made with hammered gold. These are the good deeds in our soul. In this manner, for everything to be filled by the glory of God he is explaining it to us. But within us, as the drinking vessels of the Lord we must be as those who give place to the Holy Supper in our soul. But when Hiram comes with many expensive things and things for foreign worship to destroy our holy place we must be as those who utilize discernment. In this manner, if we are before God truthfully then he will deliver those who are living in the bondage of sin and will put on the garment of salvation for them and in this manner, he is obtaining us as the current price. In this manner, he is manifesting as one who is powerful to save all kinds of tribes. Let us submit ourselves as those who obey his will in this manner. 

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
