THE SONDM SCHOOL, Lesson XL—Fourth Quarter, For Dec. 13, 1908.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.

Text of the Lesson, I Kings viii, 1-11. Memory Verses, 10, 11—Golden Text, Ps. cxxii, 1—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M., Stearns. [Copyright, 1908, by American Press Association.] If we take the Christmas lesson next week instead of the story of Solomon’s downfall, this will be our last Old Testament study for two years to come, as 1909 will be given to the Acts and thg, Epistles and 1910 to the gospel by Matthew. May the Lord therefore give us a special blessing in this meditation. The lesson verses assigned tell of the bringing of the ark of the covenant from the tent which David had pitched for It to the holy of holies in the temple which Solomon had Just finished, and they brought the tabernacle and all its furniture from Gibeon, not for use, but to care for it somewhere in the temple (verse 4). All the temple furniture was new and grand and on a larger scale except the ark of the covenant, mentioned seven times In our lesson verses, and which contained at this time only the two tables of stone which Moses bad made and on which God had written the Ten Commandments (verse 9), although at one time it seems to have contained the golden pot of manna and Aaron’s rod that budded (Heb. ix, 4j. They made no mistake this time in having it carried In any other way than that of God’s appointment (verses 3, 4). When the priests had come out from setting the ark in its place, then the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord, and no man could stand In Ills presence (verse 11]. “The fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the house” (II Chron. vii, 1). At first God walked with man In Eden, then in a tent with Israel, at the time of our lesson In the temple, later in the bodj’ prepared for Him, even In Christ; now In the bodies of all believers, for we are Ills temple (I Cor. vi, 19, 20; II Cor. vi. 10). And the time is coming when the whole earth shall be filled with Ills glory and there shall be neither adversary nor evil occurrent (Num. xiv, 21; Isa. xl, 9; Hab. ii, 14; I Kings, v, 4). Then shall the holy city, the new Jerusalem, have descended from God out of heaven, of which the seer said. “I saw no temple herein, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it; * * * the glory of God did lighten It, and the Lamb is the light thereof” (Rev. xxi, 22, 23). Then shall the temple of God be opened in heaven and there shall be seen in Ills temple the ark of His testament (Rev. xi, 19). Very many are the Interesting facts concerning the temple of Solomon and the lessons to be learned from It. It was built on Mount Moriah, on the place which David purchased from Araunah, the Jebusite. the former reminding us of the death and resurrection of Isaac and the latter of satisfaction by blood and the Lord’s word. “It is enough” (Gen. xxii; II Sam. xxiv; II Chron. ill, 1). The house was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither, so that there was neither hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron heard in the house while It was in building (I Kings vi, 7). The foundation. like that of the tabernacle, suggests atonement, for every board of the tabernacle stood on sockets of silver obtained from the ransom money of the people (Ex. xxx). As we saw recently In Isa. xxviii, 1G; I Cor. ill, 11, there Is no possible standing ground for any sinner but the foundation which God has provided, even the precious blood of Christ. When we are redeemed by that precious blood, then we are stones for the building, but here in the quarry where we were found we are being made ready for our places in the building, and the great Master Workman (Prov. viii, 30, R. V.) is too wise to spend too much or too little labor on any stone. Let us therefore trust Him for grace to say under all circumstances, “This is fitting me for my place in His building.” Within the building all was covered with gold and cedar. “There was no stone seen” (I Kings vi, 18). The Lord alone must be exalted. No flesh shall glory in His presence. Note for study the cherubim and palm trees carved on walls and doors, the pillars Jachin and Boaz In the porch of the temple, the two large olive wood cherubim covered with gold which In the holy of holies overshadowed the ark with its cherubim of pure gold, the 480 years from the exodus until Solomon began to build the temple, the seven years In which he was building it, the thirtyfour years until it was first plundered, the 153,000 strangers who helped. Study the prayer of dedication, each section of It, and notice I Kings viii, 43, GO, “That all the people of the earth may know thy name, may know that the Lord Is God, to fear Thee as do Thy people Israel.” Note especially verse 56, “There hath not failed one word of all His good promise w’hich He promised by the hand of Moses, His serv ant.” Compare Josh, xxiii, 14. Notice the word of the Lord to Solomon concerning his prayer, “I have hallowed this house which thou hast built to put My name there forever, and Mine eyes and Mine heart shall be there perpetually” (I Kings lx, 3). That being true of a mass of wood and stone, we who are living temples may surely n.ppropriate the words and re- i Jolce greatly in I Pet. v, 7-
