The Glory of the Temple: OR, Solomon's TEMPLE, And all the Materials thereof, SPIRITUAIZ'D.
I. Where the Temple was Built.
THE Temple was built at Jerusalem, on Mount Moriah, in the Threshing-floor of Arnon the Jebusite. Whereabout Abraham offered up Isaac, there where David met the Angel of the Lord when he came with his drawn Sword in his hand, to cut off the people at Jerusalem, for the sin which David committed in his disorderly numbering the people. Gen. 22.3, 4, 5. 1 Chron. 21.15. Chap. 22.1. 2 Chron. 3.1.
There Abraham received his Isaac from the dead. There the Lord was intreated by David to take away the Plague, and to return to Israel again in Mercy: from whence also David gathered, That There Gods Temple must be built. This (said he,) is the house of the Lord God, and this is the Altar of the Burnt-Offering for Israel. 1 Chron. 21.28. Chap. 22.1. Chap. 3.1.
This Mount Moriah therefore, was a Type of the Son of God, the Mountain of the Lords house, the Rock against which the gates of Hell cannot prevail.
II. Who built the Temple.
THe Temple was builded by Solomon, a man peaceable and quiet; and that in Name, by Nature, and in Governing. For so God had before told David, namely, that such a one the Builder of the Temple should be.
Behold, saith he, a Son shall be born unto thee, who shall be a man of Rest; and I will give him Rest from all his Enemies round about; for his Name shall be called Solomon, and I will give Peace and Quietness to Israel in his days: He shall build an house for my Name, and he shall be my Son, and I will be his Father. 1 Chron. 22.9, 10. Psal. 72.1, 2, 3, 4.
As therefore, Mount Moriah was a Type of Christ, as the Foundation: So Solomon was a Type of Him, as the Builder of his Church. The Mount was signal, for that thereon the Lord God before Abraham and David, did display his Mercy. And as Solomon built this Temple, so Christ doth build his House; Yea, He shall build the Everlasting Temple, and He shall bear the Glory. Heb. 3.3, 4. Zach. 6 12, 13.
And in that Solomon was called Peaceable, it was to shew with what peaceable Doctrine and Wayes Christs House and Church should be built; Isa. 9.6. Mich. 7.2, 3, 4.
III. How the Temple was Built.
THe Temple was built, not meerly by the Dictates of Solomon, though he was wiser than Ethan, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, and all men, 1 King. 4.31. But it was built by Rules, prescribed by, or in a written Word; and as so, delivered to him by his Father David.
For when David gave to Solomon his Son, a charge to build the Temple of God; with that charge, he gave him also the pattern of all in Writing; Even a pattern of the Porch, House, Chambers, Treasuries, Parlours, &c. And of the place for the Mercy-seat, which pattern David had of God: nor would God trust his Memory with it. The Lord made me, said he, understand in Writing, by his hand upon me, even all the Work of this Pattern. Thus therefore David gave to Solomon his Son, the pattern of all; and thus Solomon his Son built the House of God. See 1 Chron 28. from Verse 9. to Vers. 20.
And answerable to this, Christ Jesus the Builder of his own House, whose House are We, doth build his holy Habitation for him to dwell in; even according to the Commandment of God the Father. For saith he, I have not spoken of my self, but the Father which sent me, He gave me a Commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And hence 'tis said, God gave him the Revelation, and again That he took the Book out of the hand of Him that sat on the Throne, and so acted, as to the building up of his Church. John 12.40, 41. Rev. 1.1. chap. 5.5.
