1 Kings 6
Concise Complete
The building of Solomon's temple. (1-10) Promise given
concerning the temple. (11-14) Particulars respecting the temple. (15-38)
Verses 1-10 The
temple is called the house of the Lord, because it was directed and modelled by
him, and was to be employed in his service. This gave it the beauty of holiness,
that it was the house of the Lord, which was far beyond all other beauties. It
was to be the temple of the God of peace, therefore no iron tool must be heard;
quietness and silence suit and help religious exercises. God's work should be
done with much care and little noise. Clamour and violence often hinder, but
never further the work of God. Thus the kingdom of God in the heart of man grows
up in silence,
mark 5:27.
Verses 11-14
None employ themselves for God, without having his eye upon them. But God
plainly let Solomon know that all the charge for building this temple, would
neither excuse from obedience to the law of God, nor shelter from his judgments,
in case of disobedience.
Verses 15-38 See
what was typified by this temple. 1. Christ is the true Temple. In him dwells
all the fulness of the Godhead; in him meet all God's spiritual Israel; through
him we have access with confidence to God. 2. Every believer is a living temple,
in
1 corinthians built upon Christ as its Foundation, and will be perfect in due time. 3. The
gospel church is the mystical temple. It grows to a holy temple in the Lord,
enriched and beautified with the gifts and graces of the Spirit. This temple is
built firm, upon a Rock. 4. Heaven is the everlasting temple. There the church
will be fixed. All that shall be stones in that building, must, in the present
state of preparation, be fitted and made ready for it. Let sinners come to Jesus
as the living Foundation, that they may be built on him, a part of this
spiritual house, consecrated in body and soul to the glory of God.
