John 14
2"In
My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have
told you; for (B)I go to prepare a place for you.
3"If
I go and prepare a place for you, (C)I will come again and receive you to
Myself, that (D)where I am, there you may be also.
Solomon: Jesus
Hiram king of Tyre: High ranking angel under Jesus
Cedar trees: a planning
of the Lord, pillars of the temple
1 Kings 5
1
And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed
him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
2
And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3
Thou knowest how that David my father could not build a house for the name
of Jehovah his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until
Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.
4
But now Jehovah my God hath given me rest on every side; there is neither
adversary, nor evil occurrence.
5
And, behold, I purpose to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God,
as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set
upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build the house for my name.
6
Now therefore command thou that they cut me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants;
and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt
say: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that knoweth how to
cut timber like unto the Sidonians.
7
And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced
greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who hath given unto David
a wise son over this great people.
8
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard the message which thou hast
sent unto me: I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning
timber of fir.
These trees are “chosen ones”
or the “elect” from which is a reference in Isaiah 16:3
“…that they might be called
trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.”
9
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea; and I will make them into
rafts to go by sea unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause
them to be broken up there, and thou shalt receive them;
and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
10
So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all
his desire.
11
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his
household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year
by year.
12
And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace
between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
13
And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
14
And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month
they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram
was over the men subject to taskwork.
15
And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore
thousand that were hewers in the mountains;
16
besides Solomon's chief officers that were over the work, three thousand
and three hundred, who bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
17
And the king commanded, and they hewed out great stones, costly stones,
to lay the foundation of the house with wrought stone.
18
And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites did fashion
them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
Great stones, great trees
all the while we are on earth being carved out and waiting for the time
Jesus calls us to his “Father’s house”…
Revelation 3:
12Him that overcometh will I make a pillar
in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon
him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new
Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write
upon him my new name.
