that can keep up with the scriptures all right um so yeah we can get that done that'd be great but we're gonna be reading first kings chapter five through eight all right then we'll get out of the way for the deacons for um the friday lineup tgif okay so we'll as we get described we're gonna go ahead and jump into it um let's get first kings chapter five let's start at verse one first kings chapter five verse one in hiram king of tyrese 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 so hiram was the love of david howard was the king of tyree when you read we're gonna read it a little bit later in chronicles talks about hiram's uh was his father was a man of tyree which was a zydonian right or um a canaanite and his mother was of the tribe of nephthali okay keep reading and solomon sent to hiram saying thou knowest how that david my father could not build in house unto the name of the lord his god for the wars which were about him on every side until the lord put them asunder the souls of his them asundered the souls of his feet put them under the souls of his feet go ahead but now the lord my god has given me rest on every side so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence so let's go to uh sarah chapter 4 47 excuse me sirach chapter 47 verse 12. we'll come right back here so the lord so king solomon is picking the higher me saying look you know how when my father was king when david was king it was many wars that david had about that they had to fight many battles he had to fight but by the time solomon came along all those battles had been won those nations was under our feet so solomon could safely rule and safely build the kingdom so let's start at um yeah let's start at 47 verse 1 real quick ecclesiastes chapter 47 verse 1. here we go and after him rose up nathan the prophet nathan to prophesy in the time of david as is the fact taken away from the peace offering so was david chosen out of the children of israel he played with lions as with kids and with bears as with lambs that give you a little understanding of how mighty king david was they said he played with lions as with kids and bears as with lambs so these vicious animals that many of us would be afraid to approach today can david play with them as if they were kids toys that's how powerful the brother was the lord was with this man go ahead slew he not a giant when he was yet but young and did he not take away the approach from the people when he lifted up his hand with the stone and the sling and beat down the boasting of goliath so this man was a mighty man keep reading for he called upon the most high lord and he gave him strength in his right hand to slay that mighty warrior god was with him go ahead and set up the horn of his people go ahead so the people honored him with ten thousands and praised him in the blessings of the lord and that he gave him a crown of glory for he destroyed the enemies on every side and brought to north the philistines his adversaries and break their horn and sunder unto this day so that's what we were just going over where king solomon said look my father fought many battles and he had to break these nations into subjection so that solomon could rule safely skip down to verse 12 verse 12 after him rose up a wise son and for his sake he dwelt at large solomon reigned in a peaceable time so king solomon reigned during a peaceable time go ahead and was honored for god made all quiet round about him see that god made our quiet round about him his enemies read that he might build in house in his name and prepare his sanctuary forever so let's go back to first kings chapter five so this is what we read now solomon is preparing to build that kingdom to build that temple to the lord the house to the lord first kings chapter five is read verse four first kings chapter five verse four yes sir but now the lord might god has given me rest on every side so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence and behold i purpose to build a house unto the name of the lord my god as the lord spake unto david my father saying thy son whom i was sent upon thy throne in thy room he shall build in house unto my name now therefore command thou that command now excuse me now therefore command thou that they heal me a cedar tree out of lebanon and my servant shall be with thy servants and unto thee will i give higher for thy service according to all that thou shalt appoint for thou knowest that there is not any for thou know that there is not among us any that can skill to you timber like unto these idols so the zydonians had a gift of being able to heal timber and you would get the best timber out of lebanon the best cedar trees would come out of lebanon right so hey if you do me a favor pull up lebanon real quick i know i ain't taking this ahead of time but pull up a map of lebanon real quick and and to try to see where it is just an ancient map of lebanon to see where it is in um in respect to jerusalem right which is where the temple will eventually be built right because i want y'all to see because i know a lot of times we'd be reading these things sometimes we don't go look up what we're reading you know what i'm saying so this is something i want to look at real quick so the best tree the best cedar trees came out of lebanon and the zydonians were viewers of timber more skillful um than any other nation okay you got that for us also was you were you able to pull anything up you were okay all praises so watch this real quick y'all cause you know we go we got a little time we got an hour and 45 minutes or so or 50 minutes or so so i want to uh kind of dive into these things real quick just so you know what we're reading okay so any one of those maps will work it really don't matter uh maybe if you can zoom in on it a little bit uh let's see what it looks like uh view image maybe view image i don't know or maybe just zoom in i don't know maybe go to where it says view image that may or just try to just enlarge the photo where it's at okay all praises all praises all praises so i'm trying to see where is it uh okay we see tyree and zeid on uh in the phoenicians phoenician states so you see that up at the far top left hand corner and jerusalem we see in the kingdom of judah which is dead center of um of israel what we know as as as the land of israel today um but you see far up in the top left hand corner you see tyree and zidane so if you could pull up a picture of lebanon that's that's good that's not bad but i just want to show the people lebanon so if you could get out of that um see if you can pull up a picture yeah lebanon maps right there with his lebanon maps right next to the other one yes yes right there yes all right yeah this is good this is real good okay zoom in zoom in for me a little bit okay all praises so go down these are the names that you'll see mostly some of these names you'll see today beirut you see beirut up there by syria syria go down a little bit so uh this is northeast of where we just were looking at which was jerusalem we saw jerusalem we see damascus over to the right so lebanon is this area right here this is one of the best trees the phoenician tree nowadays you see the front of these trees you see tyree down at the bottom left-hand corner right there um these areas yeah yeah right there all praises so these areas is where the best trees will come from and as you see it's on the coast of the water tyree you see zydon a little bit above it so this right here on the coast of the waters i remember when i was living in israel you could put that down when i was living in israel um the further you go to the coast you will see the better trees but a lot of these trees are imported today right so a lot of these trees are not native to the land of israel or ascalon ashdod um uh wise to live which is uh richon uh uh bot yam there's a lot of beaches there but the trees are not native to there they get these trees from phoenician the phoenician states which would be tyree and zidane all right so let's go back to the scripture i just wanted to bring that out to the brothers and sisters so it says at the bottom of verse six it says in any that could skill to to you timber like unto the sidonians why because they were native to that area all right go ahead officer verse seven and it came to pass when hiram heard the words of solomon that he rejoiced greatly and said blessed be the lord this day which hath given unto david a wise son over this great people and hiram sent to solomon saying i have considered the things which thou sentence to sentence to me for and i will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar and concerning timber of fur go ahead my servants shall bring them down from lebanon unto the sea and i will convey them by sea and floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me and will cause them to be discharged there and thou shall receive them and thou shalt accomplish my desire in giving food for my household go ahead so they had so basically had a trade solomon would give uh hiram and his people food and oil and they would entre they would in turn provide the cedar trees from lebanon for the building of the house of the lord or the temple of the lord okay so we made a league with this brother okay go ahead or this zydonian or uh tyree man of tyree whose mother was an israelite go ahead so hiram gave solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire and solomon gave hiram 20 000 measures of wheat for food to his household in 20 20 measures of pure oil thus gave solomon to hiram year by year year by year go ahead and the lord gave solomon wisdom as he promised him and there was peace between haram and solomon and they too made a league together so let's deal with hyrum just for a second because i know a lot of times we read about hiring we get a little confused because it mentions a few times where he would call solomon brother he was a lover of david he says the lord the lord god or i we you know we the honor of the lord god that sets you up as king so we'll be like dang was he an israelite let's go see real quick let's go to second chronicles chapter two and let's read verse 11. second chronicles uh let's read verse one real quick verse one we're gonna be one to four then we'll read eleven second chronicles chapter two verse 1. yes sir and solomon determined to build in house for the name of the lord and in house for his kingdom and solomon towed out three score and ten thousand men to bear burdens and four score a thousand to hugh in the in the mountain and three square thousand and six hundred to oversee them and solomon sent to hiram the king of tyrese so he was the king of tyree remember that read saying as thou did his deal with david my father because remember we read in first kings five that david and and hiram had made a league you understand they were friends right hiram had much respect for david go ahead and did it send him cedars to build him and house to dwell therein even so deal with me so deal with me the same is what he's trying to see this is why it's important for us to leave an inheritance and have a good name because our children be able to be able to one day benefit off our name this is the reason that king solomon was able to just slide right in and say hey deal with me like you dealt with my father out of the respect that david had solomon was also able to use those lifelines or use those benefits same with us i know a lot of times we get on esau but a lot of us if we deal righteously with esau there may be one day with their children help ours or they'll still be alive we may pass on and they may help our children so it's very important to be at peace with these nations we're not going to shy over the evil they've done to us we're going to bring out the scriptures but at the same time we're amongst them in person that's why the scripture said use wisdom be as a way to say be be wise as a serpent harmless as a dove so we gotta deal with these nations right go ahead verse four behold i build a house to the name of the lord my god to dedicate it to him and to burn before him sweet incense and for the continual showbread and for the burnt offering offerings morning and evening evening on the sabbath and on the new moons and on the solemn feast of the lord our god this is an ordinance forever israel this is the ordinance forever so we got to burn these ins we got to burn these sacrifices on these particular days yeah and on every day we had to burn twice a day so he like look i need a house that i could be able to do this to the lord this is why i need these cedars all right skip down to verse 11 now verse 11 then hiram the king of tyree answered in writing which he sent to solomon because the lord hath loved his people he hath made the king over them go ahead hiram said moreover blessed be the lord god of israel that made heaven and earth who hath given to david the king a wise son and dude endued with prudence and understanding that my build and house for the lord and in the house for his kingdom and now i have sent a cunning man in due with understanding of hyrum my fathers of hyrule my fathers the son of a woman of the daughters of dan and his father was a man of tyree skillful skillful to work in gold and in silver and brass and iron and stone and in timber and purple and blue and in fine linen and in chrisman also to grave any manner of graving and to find out every device which shall be put to him with thy cunning men and with the cunning men of my lord david thy father all praise to the most high so he sent unto him a man whose father was of tyree so hyrum was of tyre hyrum was of another nation this the man that he sent to him also was of his lineage his father was tyree but his mother was of the tribe it was the daughters of dan all right you need to read in another place where it says she was from the area of nepali okay so let's go back to uh first kings chapter five verse 12 now let's read verse 12 again so i just want to deal with hiram for a minute because i know a lot of times his name comes up and a lot of people are confused if he's an israelite or not based off some of the things that he says first kings chapter 5 verse 12 verse 12 and the lord gave solomon wisdom as he promised him and there was peace between hiram and solomon and excuse me and they too made a league together go ahead and king solomon raised a levy out of all israel and the levy was 30 000 men so wait a minute he said the lord raised or solomon raised a levy out of israel could you look up levy for me l e v y l e v y not levi l e v y i just want you to know where the levy is because we come across these things in the scriptures and hey look really take advantage of your zander mine jacked up but i use it all the time that's why i look like this take advantage of your zonoven bible dictionary this is the reason why leadership in the welcome home packet stresses that you have a bible king james version bible an apocrypha and a zondevin bible dictionary because when you go in the zone event if there's certain things you may not understand you're going to zonova and explain it to you uh could you pull up levy real quick for us also evy yeah the definition show you what a levy is so they said um and king solomon raised the levy out of all israel and the levy was 30 000 men let's see where the levy is all right um go down okay so 11 is two different things it's to impose a tax fee or fine or enlist someone for military service in this instance these brothers were enlisted to go into go into uh lebanon into tyre and zaidon to gather this wood you understand to bring it back to jerusalem right so let's go back to the scripture i just wanted to pull that up real quick so y'all can see what it is uh read 13 again for us verse 13. yes and king solomon raised a levy out of all israel and the levy was thirty thousand men so the levy the tribute was thirty thousand men the men read and he sent them to lebanon ten thousand a month by course so king solomon had this thing well ordered he said okay y'all go this 10 000 go this month this 10 000 go this month this 10 000 go that month okay go ahead a month they were in lebanon and two months at home see that so that's kind of like what you read what you see people's brothers doing today when brothers go out on the road truck driving or when brothers go uh what they call it offshore brothers will go offshore for a month and then they'll come home for a month or two you understand so king solomon was doing that early early and uh early in our history okay go ahead and add a ram was over the levee and adorama was over the left he was overseeing the levee go ahead and solomon had three score and ten thousand that bear burdens and four score thousand viewers in the mountains go ahead besides the chief of solomon's officers which were over the work 3 300 which rule over the people that roth and the work this is very this is very good for me i like to read stuff like this i'm going to tell you why it's because a lot of brothers make um make a big deal about rank and structure and order a lot of brothers don't like that but we read it right here where king solomon had order it says beside the chief of his officer so the chief of his officers weren't just regular officers they were the chief of his officers meaning they were in higher rank in his military or in higher ranking his government than the lower tier officers you understand and nobody had a problem with that that's the way that that's the reason that the temple was able to be built successfully in the time frame that it needed to be built but imagine today with the negro mindset we got today destroyed out of babylon we'll be arguing mad because you over here why he get to pick up the stone why i couldn't get the cedar why i couldn't get the mortar you understand why i want i want to touch the goal why i can't touch the goal why he got to be in that position that same spirit so we got to work on that spirit because we see our forefathers in order to build a kingdom they had a spirit to work together right and it says which ruled over the people that wrought in the work that's some heavy stuff brothers don't like that word sisters either they don't like that word rule because sisters don't like this when the scriptures say rule or your husband shall rule over you you don't like that but that's the way to god that's where the lord had to set up to benefit the nation go ahead and the king commanded and they brought great stones costly stones and huge stones to lay the foundations of the house and solomon's builders and hiram's builders did hew them and the and the stone squares so they prepared timber and stones to build the house so they prepared the temples and the stones to build a house so first kings chapter five we look at where uh king solomon reached out to hiram the king of tyree because the zydonians were great at healing wood and the trees of lebanon were perfect for what the lord for what the lord needed to build his house so king solomon reached out you understand the reason he was able to reach out is because his father has set a good example and had made a league with this brother hyrum the king of tyree right so they made an agreement agreement they made a trade they did business together you understand and that's the reason the lord was able to have what he needed you understand to build a temple so these this is a good chapter to me i like this chapter you understand because it shows business it shows transactions it shows uh making the league all these things all right so let's read chapter six now we're in first kings chapter six start at verse one we'll get into the building of solomon's temple all right go ahead and it came to pass in the 480th year after the children of israel will come out of the land of egypt in the fourth year of solomon's reign over israel in the month zilph which is the second month that he began to build the house of the lord so notice this it says and it came to pass in the 404 score a year four score our score is 20 right so four score four times 20 is 80. so the 480th year after we came out of egypt so let's saw you for a very long time we were fighting a lot of wars we were doing a lot of traveling because kings king david ruled for what 40 years and then now this is the fourth year of his son so that would put us at 400 and if my math is correct 436 years well we didn't have a king over it well besides saul sardone ruled a whole lot a long time but let's just say around 425 years 420 years we didn't have no king that's during the time of judges during the time of joshua we had judges over us but we didn't have a king right the earliest parts of samuel a very long time without having a king right go ahead and solomon in the house which solomon excuse me oh i see i missed you my bad yeah and the house which king solomon built for the lord the length thereof was three square cubits and the breath there were of 20 cubits and the height there of 30 cubits so we're gonna read this and then i'm gonna show you a video that's gonna explain what we should show you a visual of what we're reading okay so it said that the house was the link built the house of the lord the length of the road was third three score cubits which would be 60 and the breadth there are 20 cubits and the height the rule of 30 cubits okay go ahead and the porch before the temple of the house 20 cubits was the length thereof according to the breath of the house and 10 cubits was the breath thereof before the house go ahead and for the house he made windows of narrow lights so windows of narrow lights that's them skylights that come down like this like you have them on the open light you see that some people have houses and the light come at an angle from the sun through the roof that's what it's going into go ahead and against the wall of the house he built chambers round about against the walls of the house round about both round about both of the temple and of the oracle and he made chambers round about the nethermost chamber was five cubits broad and the middle was six cubits broad and the third was seven cubits broad for without in the wall of the house he made narrow rest round about that that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house and the house when it was in building was built of stone made ready before it was brought hither tither so that there was neither a hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house while it was in buildings so he made these things where they could just place together you understand they hewn everything before it even got there so when it's almost like uh hey do me a favor look up on youtube uh look up um a roof like when somebody putting a land the uh what's the word land the beams for a roof a lot of times they have these beams just put just type in roof beams that are already manufactured or something i don't know i don't know what they exactly say but i just want them to see what this is talking about then i'm going to show you a video of also what it's talking about these things we need we need to know there's some bad stuff right here there's some cool stuff going on if you enter any type of home renovation or hgtv if you like that type of thing then that's what we read right now you understand these things are already here together so it wasn't no hammer no acts nothing had to be put on these things they just tightly fitted together you kind of see something i'm kind of talking about just pull up either one just maybe the shortest one just to show how a lot of times when they when they when they send these wood in or when they send the uh the trusses for the roof and for the for the the gables for the roof they bring when they send it a lot of time that stuff already be put together all you got to do is hang it you got that whatever it is whatever it is it's just an ad okay yeah it's an ad so i want y'all to see this y'all cause there's some good stuff right here somebody said like legos yeah kind of like that yeah kinda like that yeah that's a good analogy one show they do like on log homes like that kind of already have it pre-dripped already and they're like people like you know say i want it here and then when they get it there they'll just go ahead and put it together they already already got the blueprint for the house that's right you got that for us maybe log houses or something like that i mean you were watching that one time at the house one time huh you found another one okay watch this so you got to pull it up about to put it up right now y'all so y'all can see i want y'all to see what we read the floor deck to lay out the roof instead of using regular rafters and uh i used the floor deck to snap out the light let me see fast forward a little bit kind of fast pictures i want to see somewhere where the roof is already on the floor deck okay go to log homes go to piece together log homes or whatever just type in log homes uh already the wood already ready or something like that i don't know i don't know what to say i don't want to see i don't want them to be building it i want them to just be putting it in order so look at log homes piece together log home construct i don't know uh log homes construction log home kits go to log home kits let's see that may be better all right go down go down i just yeah yeah that's it right there discovery dream home log assembly that's cool yeah so zoom for you know music the log groove has a single phone basket that also has paper backing you can see how some of these things are already pre-cut and you know this ain't great so many things already pre-cut all they got to do is make the proper insertions let's see look that's what we're reading about right there was already previously cut where did it just be laid whether it's glued or whatever it is right okay you can pull that down right it's like that with stones that's right it's like that with stones right i'll pray trusses that's right trusses okay so what were you reading at all i'm sorry uh i want to say verse eight verse eight okay let's reverse eight again the door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber and out of the middle into the third so he built the house and finished it and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar so here and then he built chambers against all the house five cubits high and they rested on the house with timber of cedar and the word of the lord came to solomon saying concerning this house which thou art in building if thou will walk in my statues and execute my judgments and keep all my commandments to walk in them then will i perform my word with thee which i spake unto david thy father and i will dwell among the children of israel and will not forsake my people israel go ahead for solomon built their house and finished it so let's go to the videos of solomon's temple let's start at uh five minutes and 15 seconds and we're gonna go to five minutes and 40 seconds so we're going to show you the first part of what we just read with the outer chambers and the the narrow lights and then how the chambers fitly put together and so on and so forth all these things all right based on what we just read now watch this show that around the south west and north sides of the temple were three floors of chambers that's what we just raised three floors the inside wall of the chambers was stepped so as to create a ledge where the timbers of the floors could see that they didn't have to use those storage rooms were accessed by a door on the south side of the temple right with wooden ladders going up into these drawers at the front of the temple were two large bronze pillars the pillar on the left was named the pillar on the right back just like five seconds and uh officer lavish just brought up a good point um what did he say officer could you read it uh yeah as far as cedar you hear how to use cedar so much uh just google says cedar has long been used as a natural way to repel and inhabit insect like tournaments certain ants moth mosquitoes and cockroaches so cedar was used for a purpose he just didn't pick cedar for anything right like he had wisdom to use suited for purpose that's the best way it's the best wood and i knew that because you know i uh had a few pets growing up and they always say use cedar chips pull us up you see the chips and that'll naturally keep the insects away stuff like that fleas and stuff all praises that's good that's good stuff for us to know we need to know these type of things that's why our forefathers move with much wisdom the lord said he gave king solomon infinite wisdom right so that's the reason they was using the cedar like the also said well no cockroaches in the temple mosquitoes no fly none in the temple you understand that's great go back to the uh go back to like 20 520 i want the people to see those chambers so remember we read about the chambers that were on the outside of each side had a door then when you came into the chamber they was on ledges so they wouldn't have to use any axes or any type of um uh hammers or anything like that shovels or anvils or anything and basically um they had um stairs that would go up to each room or each floor of the chambers that's what we just read read that again let me show that again yeah that's two bedrooms the inside wall of the chambers was stepped so as to create a ledge where the timbers of the floors could rest the storage rooms were accessed by a door on the south side of the temple with wooden ladders going up into each of the floors at the front of the temple there were two large bra so now we're going to read verse 15 on down so i wanted to just show you all that and we want and that's why leadership put on leadership spirit you see how they had chambers for storage so now that's what we got we got storage room for the camp signs for the different things extra chairs coolers whatever it is we need we got the same thing in our building so it's the same thing our footfall has always had these things so we doing what our forefathers did okay so let's read verse 15 now verse 15. yes sir first kings 6-15 all right and he built the walls of the house within the boards of cedar both the floor of the house and the walls of the ceiling and he covered them on the inside with wood and covered the floor of the house with planks of fur and he built 20 cubits on the side of the house both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar he even built them for it within even for the oracle even for the most holy place and the house that is the temple before it was 40 cubits long and the cedar of the and the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers all was cedar there was no stone scene there was no stone scene inside go ahead and the oracle he prepared in the house within to set there the ark of the covenant of the lord and the oracle in the four part was 20 cubits in length and 20 cubits in breath and 20 cubits in height thereof and he overlaid it with pure gold so imagine this everything was pure gold on the inside the cedars was the framing to hold everything up but the inside the floor the walls and we're going to show you the visual in a minute everything on the inside was pure gold this is majesty we read right here this is royalty we read right here this is fit for the lord fit for the king and even king solomon said look the whole heaven can't even hold the lord so you know this house can't hold him but while we on the earth right now this is this is what we're gonna have for the most high and the most high was uh uh willing to be there to dwell there his spirit at least go ahead and so covered the altar which was of cedar so solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle and he overlay it with gold and the whole house he overlaid with gold until he had finished all the house also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlay with gold so you wonder why today our brothers put gold teeth in their mouths sisters want to have gold chains on rings it's in us it's in us even where our god dwelt even the temple that only the priest could go in you understand only the priest can go in to burn the incense only the high priest once a year can go into the most holy of holy the holy place we still had to make sure it was decked out because that's us you understand the lord put that spirit on us to have that go ahead and within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive trees cherubim angels go ahead each ten cubits high and five cubits was the one wing of the cherub and five cubits the other wing of the cherub go ahead from the uttermost parts of the one wing until the other most parts of the other were 10 cubits so if you're confused we're going to show you a visual but we're going to get through the reading first go ahead and the other chair was 10 cubits both the cherubims were of one measure and one size the height of the one chair was 10 cubits and so was it of the other chair so the wings touched each other over the ark of the covenant so what a mercy seat was the ark of the covenant you had the wings touch and then their wings touched the wall you understand on the back of these chairs their wings would go this way and the wings go that way but they folks were both were facing forward as you walked into the whole list of holies right the holy place go ahead and most holy place excuse me go ahead and he set the cherubims within the inner house and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim so that the wings of the one touched the one wall and the wing of the other chip touched the other wall like i just said go ahead and their wings touch one another in the midst of the house in the middle their wings touched each other watch this and he overlayed the cherubims with gold and the older laid those terribles with gold so my brother said we ain't have no images you you don't know what you're talking about because that's what we're reading right here we had images inside the temple where the lord dwelt right go ahead and he carved all the walls of the house round about with car figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers within and without watch this keep reverse thirty then we're gonna show you the inside and the floor of the house he overlay with gold within and without so go to uh six minutes and 20 seconds so we got gold everywhere everywhere all gold gold all in my chain we say gold yeah but not that fake gold from trinidad james which one my real deal goal right here you understand the the fine wedge of ophea go ahead show that so we're going inside the temple now y'all you don't see the entire way of the holy of holies was similar except having five frames instead of four the priests who represented israel were the only ones allowed into the inner temple this means that israel only could enter through being represented by the priests once you entered the main doors you entered the holy spirit look at that room that's the holy place right there 20 cubits wide and 30 cubits we just raised 20 cubic foot overlaid with gold gold decorated with cherubim palm trees and open flowers that's what you just read possibly alluding to the beauty of the garden of eden the room was lit by ten large menorahs five on each side of the room that were constantly burning and narrow windows on each side of the narrow windows we were talking about on the right side of the room was located the table of showbread which had 12 large flat pita like loaves the priests oh my god the showbread every sabbath similar to our weekly partaking of the communion breaking bread and sharing a meal with someone in ancient times represented that you were at peace with them yeah just like you shared with the native americans while you cut the head off directly in front of the holy of holies was the altar of incense the altar was similar to the altar of sacrifice in that it had a square footprint that's the odds that's where the fragrance is burning one on each of the corners however on the altar of sacrifice was burned the flesh of animals while upon the altar of incense burned a sweet combination of incenses the incense burning before the veil of the temple represented the prayers of the saints ascending to god before the veil a reminder that before we can enter god's presence what are the black lives prayers when the black people gonna read god presence must be coming you can't make this pause for me real quick somebody made a good comment somebody said you definitely couldn't walk in there with shoes on let me show you something real quick that's funny that is funny but let me show you something real quick go to uh leviticus real quick just chapter 16. i just want to show you something about this this was not um this is not something that would be taken lightly leviticus chapter 16. start at verse one for me real quick leviticus 16 verse one and the lord spake unto moses after the death of the two after the death of the two sons of aaron when they offered before the lord and died and the lord said unto moses speak unto aaron thy brother that he come not at all not at all times into the holy place within the veil before the mercy seat which is upon the ark that he die not for i will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat so aaron just couldn't waltz up in there you understand like he couldn't just go in there any time he wanted it and then eliezer after him his son and then his lineage after him they couldn't just waltz up in the temples so this was right here this is the tabernacle but after once solomon built the temple we started using the temple for what we used the tabernacle for the portable tabernacle that we moved around so you couldn't just enter into the most holy place anytime you want it you know since somebody was saying like you got a white you definitely could wear no shoes could nobody internet but the high priest one time of year that was a day of atonement but watch this read verse three thus shall aaron come into the holy place with a young bullock for a sin offering and a round for a burnt offering go ahead he shall put on the holy linen coat so he had he had to make sure that his clothes was right when he came in there too he said he had to come in with the holy linen coat read and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh go ahead and shall be girded with a linen girdle and with the lennon metri shall he be a tired these are holy garments those holy ghost he had to wear the holy grail he couldn't just come up in there with no uh with no jeans on you understand he can just come up in there because we had pants right we had linen pants and so on and so forth he could just come up in any type of way he had to come correct to the lord go ahead therefore shall he wash his flesh in water and so put them on and he had to bathe himself he had to bathe his arms and his leg he had to wash himself with water then put on these garments just to enter into the holy place right so go back to the uh first kings i just want to read that real quick uh let's go back to the video actually go back to the video go back to the video and start off what we left off only the high priest was able to enter the holy of holies and only on one day a year the day of atonement before entering the high priest passed through a beautifully embroidered veil woven from purple red blue and white threads the colors were the same as used in the aphad and breastplate of the clothing of the high priest minus the gold thread embroidered on the veil were cherubim who symbolically guarded the dwelling place of god as the high priest passed through the veil he had to pass these angels who like in the garden of eden guarded the way back to the presence of the lord upon entering the scriptures is in the shape of a perfect cube being 20 cubits wide long and tall the walls were likewise overlaid with gold and decorated with cherubim palm trees and open flowers two large cherubim flanked the ark of the two which was in the center of the room with their wings stretching from one side of the room to the other this room is where the presence of the lord would dwell and represented the final goal and destiny of all israel all praises so you guys got a visual of what we read they put a lot of foolishness in there obviously things that they can't they can't um prove as far as like what the cherubims look like cause we know the cherubims are black angels and um as far as you know having the [ __ ] in there going in with the ephod and stuff our garments was way better than that our forefathers looked way better than that when they was going in there but these are just uh just trying to give you a visual about what we read because sometimes we read these chapters and people fall asleep because they don't they don't really know what they're looking at what they're reading so we wanted to show you that so let's pick up in verse 31 first kings 6 and 31. and for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree the in intel the lentil lentil thank you and side posts were a fifth part of the wall the two doors also were of olive tree and he carved upon them carvings of cherubs so we saw the cherubims and palm trees palm trees on the doors and open flowers open flowers on the doors right and overlaid them with gold it was all pure gold go ahead and spread gold upon the cherubims and upon the palm trees go ahead so also made he for the door of the temple post of olive tree a fourth part of the wall this is a fourth part of the wall is going into the uh if you look at a wall now like when you're going through a door you see the um the outer part of the door the trim of the door and a lot of times it makes houses look good the house would be gray but they had a that glossed over white trim around the door with the baseboard all trimmed and the mold and all together bring the whole room together kind of it's the same thing we read right here where it had it had fourth part so it was it was a it was a frame with a frame over it with a frame over there matter of fact go back real quick uh in the video i'm gonna show them that real quick to the very first 6 20. go to 6 20. i want them to see this real quick so let's say the fourth part cause someone was four someone with five and then just start there uh six minutes and 20 seconds please i just want to say see that pause you see that a fourth part so it has one two three and then enter four you understand that some of them had five so that's what it means by a fourth part that makes sense let me okay i'll make sure i'm basically go forward press play the interior so the interior door had five one two three four and then the fifth one can you see that y'all see that so that's what this is going into when it says a fourth part or fifth part all praises so we can go back to the scripture thank you awesome malachi uh go back to the scripture and read 33 again yes sir so also may he for the door of the temple post of olive tree a fourth part of the wall so a fourth part of the wall meaning four trims right go ahead and the two doors were a fir tree and the two leaves of the one door were folding and the two leaves of the other door were folding uh-huh so you saw those folding doors when you open up the folding doors when you're going to the most holy places y'all see that earlier when the doors folded open but they were made of gold like sliding doors right go ahead and he carved their own cherubs and palm trees and opened flowers and covered them with gold fitted upon the car's work so we went back to that go back to it i'm sorry i just want them to see it bro go back it was like uh i don't know just zoom forward i just want them to see what we read because what the officer reading is really intriguing go forward just a little go forward keep going keep going keep going i'm gonna tell you when to stop when he had to pass through keep going keep going keep on going keep on going keep going past the eating my lies all right okay yeah there so you see this door right here the altar of sacrifice and that it has hold a little bit when the doors open all slide open it's gonna slide and open real quick keep going keep going right right okay go back it should show where the doors are keep going you might go forward a little bit more it may show it later i thought i thought i saw where the doors opened yes right here now watch these doors this is what we just read hold on let's also read it one more time read one more time off please i think it was verse 30 uh four and the two doors were a fir tree the two leaves of the one door were folding and the two leaves of the other door were folding so he was folding doors so now angels just wanted to read that part it was great for the visual all praise reverse what was that 35 35 yeah 35 yes sir and he carved their own cherubims and palm trees and opened flowers and covered them with gold fitted upon the car's work and he built the inner court with three rows of huge stone and a row of cedar beams and the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the lord laid in the mud in the month zilph and in the 11th year and the month bull which is the eighth month was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof and according to all the fashion of it so was he seven years in building now remember the lord showed all this to moses on the mount that's why when people say moses only got 10 commandments you got to go back and read and research he didn't the lord showed him all this already how he wanted the temple built all these things how you want the cherubs how you want the ark built overlay with gold the altar of incense uh the holy uh in the the perfume the apothecary how everything was made the lord had it all how he wanted it how he envisioned it looking on earth okay so we see where the lord uh allowed solomon to lay the foundation of the temple and all the different things that went into the temple so now we're going to add on to the house of king solomon now so we saw the house of the temple of the lord now we're going to build on to the to solomon as well okay so that's in chapter seven so let's read uh first king seven verse one but solomon was building his own house 13 years and he finished all his houses he built also the house of the forest of lebanon took the same seat of wood go ahead the length thereof was in 100 cubits and the breath there were 50 cubits in the height there were of 30 cubits upon four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams upon the pillars and it was covered with cedar above upon the beams they lay on 45 pillars 15 in a row and there were windows in three rows and light was against light in three ranks and all the door the doors and post were square with the windows and light was against light in three ranks and he made a porch of pillars the length thereof was 50 cubits and the breath there of 30 cubits and the porch was before them and the other pillars and the thick beams were before them then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge even the porch of judgment wait a minute so this brother this brother bad man he got a porch of it's okay to imagine pull up a throne pull up a king's throne to me like on the stage i'm gonna show you what he's talking about so king solomon had a porch in front of where his throne set so as you go up the stairs to his throne there's an area that you stand before him and then his throne is back off of that that makes sense let me see if i can let me see if we can find a picture solomon's throne maybe put in solomon stone i hope it ain't no edomite sit again solomon's porch yeah yeah solomon's porch reports of solomon's throne or solomon's porch let's type in solomon's point see if we can find an image i just want them to see what we read because there's some heavy stuff right here i want you to see because you got to be able to see your forefathers like i was thinking about this earlier when we're going to read chapter eight when he spoke to the whole nation of israel it was like it was crazy it was like damn i'm just imagining this black man thrown what it would with a crown on most fines see that's it right there that's bad right there that's bad right there i like that right there show that you see this there's some bad stuff right here man now you want to know either might but look at this you understand how that is thrown ascending and he got the porch in front of it but look what his throne sit off up under like a a a porch inside the house that makes sense and it's over his head right like what the officer is highlighting right here you understand so this is now that you got the of course you got the six lines on each side represent the 12 tribes of israel and he ascended up to his throne you know it was way better than this this is nice though this is really nice yeah but you know it's way doper than this look at the pillars in the background look at all the people sitting around him which is probably his counsel you understand he got his wives in the background and wicked more bites he had with him you understand but this is some listen to some cool stuff you wanna say something else no i was trying to see like there's like a picture of like the two women when he was judging the two women you think like when they had the baby might be king sheba they might be trying to say king queen sheba i mean queen she was a king queen sheba i'm not quite sure but it could be when he was judging the two women but i don't think the two women be dressed like that or maybe they was hell i don't know they said it was harlow's right yeah so they could have been so you might be right look at they got the uh what they call them birds uh peacock what they call them birds over there the peacocks with all the plenty yeah they got the peacocks down there king solid bad man bruh black man too all right get off of that because this people gonna start envisioning the [ __ ] all the time check it out i'll praise him so let's read let's read somebody said ball and out of control yeah king solomon had that bread fame wealth wisdom all these things go ahead verse seven then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge even the porch of judgment and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other and his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch which was of the like work solomon made also in-house for pharaoh's daughter whom he had taken to wife like unto his portion so i know i saw a lot of people get confused about that okay pharaoh's daughter well remember we read earlier when he had a league with the king of tyree this was when when people got married back in those times it was for political gains just like today yeah peter might do that same thing today we don't do it but [ __ ] doing even black men now like athletes they marry white women because uh dad a senator or her daddy a billionaire or a millionaire or whatever and run money running their family so he looking like i'm for the double triple my money you understand same thing go ahead verse nine remember our forefathers did things the lord wasn't always okay with him but they did the most i was with him he had mercy on him for whatever reason he decided to but don't you go out and get you know egyptian do it all these were of costly stones according to the measure of huge stones saw it with saws within and without even from the foundation unto the copy coping and so on the outside toward the great court and the foundation was of costly stones even great stones stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits and above were costly stones after the measures of huge stones and cedars and the great court round about was with three rows of huge stones and a row of cedar beams both for the inner court of the house of the lord and for the porch of the house and for the porch of the house and king solomon sent and fetched hiram out of tyree he was a he was a widow son of the tribe of nathalie he was a widow son of the tribe of naphthali so the her husband died and her husband was a tyree but she was a nephili go ahead and his father was a man of tyree a worker in brass and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and cunning to work all works and brass so here in in first kings it said that the mother was of the tribe of naphtali but in chronicles it said she was of dan meaning she lived and dan but she was other tribal nephilim i hope that makes sense go ahead verse 15 for he cast two pillars of brass of 18 cubits height apiece and a line of 12 cubits did come past either of them about so pull up solomon's uh pull up solomon's house not the temple of the lord but solomon's house go ahead keep reading off verse 16. and he made two chapters of molten brass to set upon the tops of the pillars the height of the one chapter was five cubits and the height of the other chapter was five cubists right and nets of checker work that's right checker work now the cat the chapters if i'm not mistaken that's like the molding that goes because we saw earlier the pillars in the background can you pull that picture back up that you had earlier uh when solomon was at his porch if you don't mind pull that back up real quick i want them to see the pillars in the background with all the gray i mean with all the red curtains and stuff around it and the fine molding that it was molded uh and then at the top you see like um the top of the pillars you have like what today we call it like crown molding you see these at the back zoom in for me on those red pillars in the background office if you could yeah back there now you see these things now if i'm not mistaken that's what a chapter is i could be wrong let me look it up on my phone just to make sure because i want y'all to know what we're reading you understand uh let me see right no like you said no cranes nothing chapter uh the capital of up uppermost part of a column which the roof and its decorations are supported so yeah that's right that's it right there the chapter that's the thing that's that thing across the top right there today we call it a soffit when you go into like some people's cabinets like some people might have a 10-foot ceiling but their cabinets don't go all the way to the ceiling so you got a little wooden part up there that's decorated like the cabin that the cabinets hang on to that's called a soffit today back then they called them chapters all right and that's what you see the border of the top where the top of the pillar that sits on the top of the pillar that part right there yes sir all praise with the nice mode man it ain't bad man this ain't detailed man wow go ahead verse 17 and nets of checker work and wreaths of chain work for the chapters which were upon the top of the pillars seven for the one chapter and seven for the other chapter somebody awesome matthew in the spirit he said they can see all the great things we were able to build and some still can't see we made the valley of the kings in some pyramids damn that's true i'm glad you said that that's true you see all these things we was able to build they'll contribute that to the jews like yeah the jews built that but they didn't build a temple but we didn't build a pyramids come on man that's some crazy stuff i'll pray you in the spirit office go ahead and he made the pillars and two roads round about upon the one network to cover the chapters that were upon the top with pomegranates and so did he for the other chapters so reed and the chapters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work and the porch for cubits pull that picture back up while we reading this and the chapters upon the two pillars have pomegranates also above over against the belly which was by the network and and the pomegranates were 200 and rose round about upon the other chapters now you see those pomegranates and stuff up top go back up top you see those pomegranates up top all the different fine work that went into these chapters and this is just a small picture so we can't see it all the way but it's just a small part of what we read right now there's some dope stuff right here all praises go ahead verse 21 and he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple and he set up the right pillar and called the name thereof jack him and he set up the left pillar and called the name thereof boaz so boaz meant strength uh jack jackson me or jackin means established read and upon the top of the pillar was literally worked so was the work of the pillars finish and he made a molten seed 10 cubits from the one brim to the other so type in solomon's molten c read that part again also verse 23. and he made a molten seed 10 cubits from the one brim to the other it was round all about and his height and his height was five cubits and a line of 30 cubits did come pass it round about and under the brim of it round about there were knobs compassing it 10 and a cubit compassing the c round about the knob knobs were cast in two rows when it was cast so this right here this is the molten sea that we reading about could you uh go into the the first picture the very first one the black and white okay now i didn't show it to you on the video but on the video you had the 12 oxen which represented the 12 tribes of israel right so i said the molten sea so this is where this is the way the molten seed was build it go ahead verse 25 it stood upon 12 oxygen so you got 12 oxen that is on the back of you see six right there or the seven right there and then on the other side you see another five go ahead three looking toward the north and three looking toward the west and three looking toward the south and three looking toward the east and the sea was set above upon them and all their hindu part hinder parts were inward so hey go back to the video real quick i want to show you earlier in the video it's going to tell you about that go earlier in the video uh go back go back go go go go go go go ah keep going keep going keep going keep going it's going to show you the burning altar and it's going to show you keep going keep going yeah keep going right there right there oh god please thank you watch this that's what you're looking at right there this is on the outside of the temple you understand on the court which we know is the court uh play here real quick what to say the southeast side of the temple was the molten or brazen sea which rested on the backs of twelve oxen three pointing in each of the cardinal directions in ancient times oxen represented strength and the number 12 often represented the 12 tribes of israel that's right water from the larger brazen sea was poured into ten bronze water basins on both sides of the temple which could then be wheeled around the outer court for various washing and cleansing rituals by the priests they had to be cleansed around south west okay so that's how the before they came into the temple they have to cleanse themselves diverse washings and stuff read that real quick and um in hebrews chapter nine i think it's verse uh seven hebrews chapter 9 and let's read verse just real quick uh we hebrews chapter nine and let's read verse yeah we can read verse yes read verse seven hebrews chapter nine verse seven but unto the second with the high priest alone once every year that's the most holy place reid not without blood he had to come with the animals like we read earlier he couldn't come in empty-handed which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people day of atonement the holy ghost this signifying that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest while as the first tabernacle was just standing so it's going into christ christ wasn't manifest yet go ahead so that's why it says he's a shadow of good things to come go ahead which was a figure for the time damn pressure so for the time then present that was a figure go ahead and which were offered both gifts and sacrifices that could not make him that did the service perfect as pertaining to the conscience watch verse 10 which stood only in meats and drinks which is meats and drinks meats and drinks drink offerings meat offerings and what and diverse washing and diverse washings all the different type of washings that they had to do that the water came out of the molten sea and was put into those different brazens and they would have to go out there and wash themselves before they came in the temple go ahead and diverse washings and carnal ordinances imposed on them until the time of reformation imposed on them until the time of christ so you can go back to first king now i just want to deal with that real quick the diverse washings all praises to the most high it all start coming together all praise it all start coming together go back to where you was at office i think you said what verse 25 26 first kings seven what time we got a little oh okay all right we gotta get it 27. i ain't gonna break it down the moon you're going to read it from chapter eight verse 27 and he made 10 bases of brass four cubits was the length of one base and four cubits of the breath thereof and three cubits of the height of it and the work of the in the work of the bases was on this manner they had borders and the borders were between the ledges and on the borders that were between the ledges were lions oxen and cherubim images and upon the ledges there were a base above and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work and every base had four brazen wheels and plates of brass and the four corners thereof had undersetters under the labor where other setters molten at the side of every addition and the in the mouth of it within the chapter and above was a cubit but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base a cubit and a half and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders four square four square not round and under the borders were four wheels and the axle trees of the wheels were joined to the base and the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half cubic in half a cubic excuse me and the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel their axle tree and their knaves knaves and their fellows and their spokes were all mochin and there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base and the undersellers were of the very base itself and in the top of the base was there a round compass of have a cubit high on the top of the base and the the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same for on the plates of the ledges thereof and on the borders thereof he grave cherubs lions and palm trees more images according to the portion of every one in addition's roundabout after this manner he made the 10 bases all of them had one casting one measure and one size then made heat ten labors of brass one labor contained forty baths so the laborer is talking about the different pools of water go ahead and every labor was four cubists and upon every one of the ten bases one labor and he put five bases on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house so we just read it and he set the c on the right side of the house eastward over against the south bolton c go ahead and hyrum made the labors and the shovels and the basins so haram made an end of doing all the work that he made king salad that he had made king solomon for the house of the lord the two pillars and the two bows of the chapters that were on the top of the two pillars and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the chapters which were upon the top of the pillars and 400 pomegranates for the two networks even two rows of pomegranates for one network to cover the to cover the two bowls of the chapter that were upon the pillars and the 10 bases and 10 labors on the bases and 1c and 12 oxen under the sea go ahead and the pots of the shovels and the basins and and all these vessels which hyrule made to king solomon for the house of the lord were of great bright brass and the plain of jordan did the king cast them and the clay grab and the clay ground between sucketh and zareth and solomon left all the vessels unweighed because they were exceeding many neither was the weight of the brass found out and solomon made all the vessels that pertain unto the house of the lord the altar of gold the table of gold whereupon the showbread was and the candlesticks of pure gold five on the right side and five on the left before the oracle with the flowers and the lamps and the tongs of gold and the bows of the snuffs snuffers and the basins and the spoons and the sensors of pure gold and the hinges of gold both for the doors of the inner house the most holy place and for the doors of the house to wit of the temple gold everything all gold greg so was ended all the work that king solomon made for the house of the lord and solomon brought in the things which david his father had dedicated even the silver and the gold and the vessels that he put among the treasures of the house of the lord all praise so there's the chapter i wanted to get to so let's get to first kings chapter eight didn't do much breaking down in chapter seven i spent a lot of time on chapter six so let's try to get through eight there's a lot of eight that i want to deal with uh first kings chapter eight verse one this ward off i know how it is bro i know you're reading four chapters by yourself reading bro i'm telling you hey man get that man some water man i know how it is go ahead first king chapter 8 verse 1. watch this everybody get good then solomon assembled the elders of israel and all the heads of the tribes the chief of the fathers of the children of israel unto king solomon in jerusalem that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the lord out of the city of david which is zion jerusalem is zion the city of david is jerusalem which is zion so they brought up the ark of the covenant right come on and all the men of israel assembled themselves until king solomon at the feast in the month ethanol which is the seventh month so if you notice the seven months that's the same month of the memorial blowing of the trumpets which is the seventh new moon right then you got uh feast of tabernacles during that month the day of atonement during that month but it's saying that they had a feast during that month now this feast you're not going to read about in leviticus 23 but this is the feast of us dedicating the altar right so we had a feast of dedication but it's not the feast of dedication that was to be memorialized forever like we like we read about in maccabees but we did have a feast to dedicate the altar of the lord at that time right or the temple of the lord at that time so i don't want y'all to get that confused this is not the feast of dedication that you read later but we did have a feast on this particular day where we feasted because we dedicated the uh temple for the very first time okay go ahead and all the elders of israel came and the priests took up the ark and they brought up the ark of the lord and the tabernacle of the congregation and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle even those did the priests and the levites bring up so it was prepared to bring all the things that needed to be brought into the temple was prepared now go ahead and king solomon and all the congregation of israel that were assembled unto him were with him before the ark sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be told nor numbered for multitudes and the priest brought in the ark of the covenant of the lord unto his place and to the oracles of the house of the most holy place even under the wings of the cherubim so they brought the ark of the covenant into the most holy place with the two gold inside door golden sliding doors with the gold floor that was perfect 20 cubits up 20 cupid's this way 20 the breadth that was 20 cubic the height was 20 cubics and the lint was 20 it was a perfect cube and inside we saw earlier where the cherubim's wings touched the walls and then touched each other over where the ark of the covenant was supposed to be instituted or put in right so that's what we're reading right here they're bringing that in now go ahead for the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark and the cherubims cover the ark and the staves thereof above the stage thereof that's the handles that hold the ark up that means that they will hold to move the arc around and held the stage go ahead and they drew out the staves that the ends of the stage were seen out in the holy place before the oracle pull the video up again it's just it's just the end when they went through the sliding doors i want them to see what we read don't be confused by the little egyptian looking dog face i don't know what the egyptian with the dog body line body with the man face i don't understand why they what they think that chairman okay play it play that this is what we're read right here the garden of eden so they went inside the way they go to terror over the ark of the covenant upon entrance to the holy of holies now you see those stage those are the handles that they will hold arc on that's what we read right there or they will hold the arc to move it around that's what we're reading all right austin all right you can put that down go ahead house verse eight and they drew out the stage that the ends of these days were seen out in the holy place before the oracles and they were not seen without and there they are unto this day there was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which moses put there at horeb when the lord made a covenant with the children of israel when they came out of the land of egypt and it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place that the cloud filled the house of the lord so when the priest came out of the holy place the the cloud filled the house of the lord go ahead so that the priest could not stand to minister before the cloud for the glory of the lord hath filled the house of the lord this spake solomon the lord said that he would dwell in the thick darkness i have surely built the in-house to dwell in a settled place for thee to abide in forever and the king turned his face about and blessed all the congregation of israel he said he blessed all the congregations of israel now think about how many people this is you understand eternity bless all the congregation of israel that's a lot of people man this is a huge event think about it this ain't no small thing a little small gathering with 12 people or a congregation like we got this is millions of people this is this the nation of israel is in front of him so now king solomon i was thinking about earlier like how did he how a lot of people hear him without a microphone like how was he able to project his voice like this some crazy stuff right here do you understand go ahead bless all the congregation of israel and now the congregation of israel stood and he said blessed be the lord god of israel which spake with his mouth unto david my father and hath with his hand fulfilled it saying can you pull me up iuic's image of solomon like a black image of solomon because i want them to and keep us at the bottom but as we're watching this i want them to envision a black king speaking to his people i don't want them to see nothing else because too many times we read these things and we don't see images you understand we don't we don't see the truth so as we read in this prayer i want them to be able to see a black king all right please show that for us we got a few more minutes we got about 20 25 minutes we should better get done with this chapter in 25 minutes if you can find up any of iuic's images or any just ancient images of of king solomon being black and i want him to be i want anybody to see it as we read this prayer okay they're dedicating the temple man yeah i don't like it no beard you know you know like you got curls and stuff go down go down okay yeah yeah yeah yeah go up go up go ah the one over to the left the tri the kings of israel right there one of them king solomon right one of them's supposed to be solomon saul david simon so zoom in on the one on the far right hand side i just want you to zoom in on him i know it's cartoon-like but i just want them to see the visual so you got david to the left oh you got dave you got saul to the left david in the middle and then solomon over to the right so i mean i guess i don't know let's just kind of do it like that let's read verse 15. verse 15 and he said blessed be the lord god of israel which spake with his mouth unto david my father and hath with his hand fulfilled it saying since the day that i brought forth my people israel out of egypt i chose no city out of all the tribes of israel to build a house that my name might be therein but i chose david to be over my people israel and it was in the heart of david my father to build a house for the name of the lord god of israel so it's a black man addressing black people go ahead and the lord said unto david my father whereas it was in thine heart to building the house and to my name thou did his will because it was in thine heart nevertheless thou shalt not build the house but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins he shall build the house into my name so you can pull the image down now i just wanted to get it started off with them seeing that black image of king solomon black and calmly okay go ahead and the lord hath performed this word that he spake and i am risen up in the room of david my father and sit and sit on the throne of israel as the lord promised and have built in the house for the name of the lord god of israel and i have set there a place for the ark where it is the covenant of the lord which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of egypt so this is prophecy we read being fulfilled go ahead and solomon stood before the altar of the lord in the presence of all the congregation of israel and spread forth his hands toward heaven now he about to pray in front of everybody go ahead and he said lord god of israel there is no god like thee in heaven above or on earth beneath who keep his covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart who has kept with thy servant david my father that thou promised him thou speaketh also with thy mouth and has fulfilled it with thine hands as it is this day so he praying to the lord before the nation of israel thanking the lord for blessing them to have an ark thanking the lord for blessing them to have a kingdom for him to be able to rule over his people for them to be able for us to be able to have peace amongst us and tribute on these other nations this is what we're asking the lord for now we're asking the lord to reap to bring our kingdom back where now uh jesus christ is the king with 144 000 elect with a new temple you understand that with a new earth will we rule that's what we asking for so then when i envision when i think of this go ahead therefore now lord god of israel keep with thy servant david my father that thou promised him saying that shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of israel so that thy children take heed to their way that they walk before me as thou has walked before me and now oh god of israel let thy word i pray thee be verified which thou speakers unto thy servant david my father but will god indeed dwell on the earth behold the heavens and heavens of heavens could not contain thee so the heavens of heaven can't contain the meaning the third heaven can't even contain god read how much less this house that i have built yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant and to this supplication o lord my god to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee today that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day even toward the place of which thou has said my name shall be there and thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place you know we don't realize when we reading this stuff this the god of heaven and earth bro he didn't have to choose the nation of israel he didn't have to choose abraham's lineage abraham had many sons he chose us now solomon like hey fulfill everything that you said was going to happen thank you for having mercy on us thank you for having all these blessings on us we got to start praying three times a day right you understand we got to start beginning our prayer life like our forefathers because he prayed and he knew the lord with his he said lord watch this temple day and night you understand fulfill everything that you had written about our forefathers about us your chosen people go ahead verse 30. and hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant and of thy people israel where israel read when they shall pray toward this place that's what we're doing now we pray towards jerusalem now towards our homeland re and here thou in heaven thy dwelling place and when thou hearst forgive and when thou hearers lord forgive your your sons and daughters of their sins read if any man trespass against his neighbor and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear and the oath come before thy altar in this house then he doubt in heaven and do and judge thy servants commanding the wicked to bring him condemning the wicked excuse me condemning the wicked to bring his weight upon his head and justifying the righteous to give him according to his righteousness that's why stuff always come out you ever notice how somebody somebody do something for years for years weeks months whatever and they come out because the lord is watching over the children of israel he's going to always be amongst the congregation to allow these things to come forth you understand it's the lord we serve the god we serve he's a revealer of secrets right go ahead when thy people israel be smitten down before the enemy because they have sinned against thee and shall turn again to thee and confess thy name and pray and make supplication unto thee in this house then hear doubt in heaven wait a minute god on the on the throne in heaven he hear us he ain't hearing esau he it he ain't here in uh none of these other nations he hear us he said look when you can we can spin down for our enemies we turn to this land and we pray towards you then hear thou their prayer in heaven go ahead then hear doubt in heaven and forgive the sin of thy people israel and bring them again unto the land which thou gaveth unto their fathers when heaven is shut up and there is no rain wait a minute when heaven is shut up there's no rain that's a famine right that's a drought really because they have sin against thee wait a minute if the weather is predicated on the children of israel being in sin or not everyone when the bible say the whole world was made for us and everything in it the sun and moon in the stars was made for us the children of israel that's what it means the lord said i'm going to someone just have to shut off the rain because they ain't sin that's some heavy stuff right there man go ahead because they have sinned against thee if they pray toward this place and confess thy name and turn from their sin when thou afflicted them then hear doubt in heaven and forgive the sin of thy servants read and of thy people israel that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk and give rain upon the land which thou has given to thy people for an inheritance so when we pray to god he's in the rain that's type of power man that's the type of power the children of israel had at this time we seen the lord said shut the rain down we pray to the lord and say lord forgive us we we we we out of pocket we're wrong we're trying to come back to you and supplicate his eye okay open the clouds open the windows to heaven give them some rain wow go ahead if they're in the land famine if there be pestilence uh oh pestilence and famine re blasting mildew locusts or if there be a big if there be caterpillar if their enemy besieged them in the land of their cities whatsoever plague whatsoever sickness there be what prayer and supplication so ever be made by any man or by all thy people israel you shall know every man the plague of his own heart and spread forth his hands toward this house wait a minute it said the plague of his own heart some of you going through depression some of you overthink things some of you are always going through trials and tribulations in your mind you don't know what the decisions to make you you're saying to yourself you know you should be doing better all these things going through your mind the lord said any plague of your heart turn towards jerusalem and pray we got to pray more it's power and prayer read then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place the lord gonna hear you if you were sincere go ahead and forgive and the lord gonna forgive you go ahead and do and give to every man according to his ways whose heart thou knowest for thou even thou only knoweth the hearts of all the children of men right that they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land the lord just want us to fear him bro the lord just want us to be like hey look lord we fear you we don't do the commandments because you say so because we know you're going to judge us if we don't the lord just want his respect we don't get a law of respect we constantly spit on his name he give us mercy after mercy after mercy and we still sin and he's still being merciful for us he sent his only son and we still won't pray three times a day we still won't ask the lord to forgive us now if you don't want to pray three times i'm not saying you have to i'm just trying to go through this chapter and show you the benefits of our prayers when we sincere the lord said he gonna hear us and pray he'll hear our prayers in heaven man go ahead that they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gave us unto our fathers moreover concerning a stranger that is not of thy people israel but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake for they shall hear of thy great name and of thy strong hand and of thy stretched out arm when he shall come and pray toward this house hear doubt in heaven thy dwelling place and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for that all the people of the earth may know thy name to fear thee as do thy people israel and that they may know that that this house which i have built it is called by thy name so go to uh zachariah 8 23. so the lord said even if another nation comes to the temple and they pray before him hear thou their prayer in heaven but the only way that they can come to the temple and pray before the lord is if the children of israel was right so we can't say oh yeah now the lord gonna hear the prayers of the other nation why you don't hear their prayers now because the children of israel ain't right this is when we in rulership when the children of israel and rulership do what we're supposed to do and our god is with us he would often allow the other nations to come and pray for him for whatever they want just like the woman came to christ and said my daughter's is grievously vexed with the devil and he said hey it ain't good for me to give you what the children had why because we was in the midst of sin we was in captivity that's the reason why then when she said hey lord i'm a dog i understand i'm a dog i understand my place he said okay i'll pray you got a little faith your daughter healed just for that just for that particular thing you understand so yes he would he would allow them to hear so many things but what if they came and prayed to the lord to kill the children of israel he ain't hearing that he's not dealing with so don't get confused and say oh damn the lord hear the prayers of other nations he should hear it now because a christian will look at that and say yes see he let the other nation know that when he was in rulership doing what we were supposed to do he would allow that thing okay zechariah 8 23 watch this zachariah chapter 8 verse 23 because i don't want anybody to get confused by reading that and think king solomon was praying for the other nations no zechariah chapter 8 verse 23 thus saith the lord of hosts and those days it shall come to pass that ten men shall take hold out out of all the languages of the nations even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a jew that is a jew saying we will go with you for we have heard that god is with you that's what we that's what was going on in first kings that's what's now going to go on in the future they're going to try to cleave unto the house of jacob because they're gonna say the law with you why am i still here in babylon why am i staying in europe the lord gonna destroy it anyway i'm rolling with y'all well i gotta be a servant of y'all that's cool i'll go out here you know i'll apply some field whatever you need me to do i got you why because they gonna see god with us so go back to first kings eight and verse 44 now verse 44. don't get through this chapter because we gotta get off the digging asap i mean y'all what's up in fact people go out to battle against their enemy whether so ever thou shalt send them and shall pray unto thee toward the city which thou has chosen and toward the house that i have built for thy name then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication and maintain their cause that's why we got to pray before we go to camp that's why we got to pray before we go to war ask the lord to be with us to maintain our cause let the word not go out void so that's that that don't contradict what we just read yeah he heard he would hear the prayer of the other nation that would come to the temple out of respect for the children of israel and ask for certain things he might heal their daughter he might do this to do that but then he said in verse 44 and we go to war against our enemies hear our prayers to destroy them showing you that it had to be with certain stipulations go ahead if they verse 46 if they sin against thee for there is no man that sin is not and thou be angry with them and deliver them to the enemy so that they carry them away captives unto unto the land of the enemy far or near just like now go ahead yet if they shall but thank themselves to catch ourselves and remember we the israelites and the land whether they will carry captives and repent and turn back to our god and make supplication unto thee and the land of them that carried them captive doing what saying we have sinned and have done perversely we have committed wickedness lord the lord wants you to confess your sins dude the lord don't want you to say forgive me for what what i'm forgiving you for you understand well forgive me for being a lustful demon forgive me for being a drug addict drug dealer murder hatred forgive me for these things this is what i did lord and i'm asking you to forgive me go ahead and so return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies which led them away captive and pray unto thee toward their land which thou gave us unto their fathers the city which thou has chosen and the house which i have built for thy name what other nation on the earth can say when they sin they always got a way out they can always turn to the lord and pray to ask for forgiveness if they ever fell off can't no other nation say that we're the only nation on the planet earth that can face the east and say lord forgive us for our sins we we sorrowful for what we've done no other nation got that type of privilege y'all that's us go ahead then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place and maintain their cause and forgive thy people that have sinned against thee all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee and give them compassion before them who carried them captive that they have that they may have compassion on them that's why the scripture said if a man's ways please the lord he make even his enemy be at peace that's why we afforded certain luxuries in babylon because the lord with us if the lord decided to leave us these folks will be jacking us up it says the lord had not you talking about this last night if the lord had not been on our side we all be swallowed up they killed us all already god on our side go ahead for they have been thy people and thine inheritance which thou brought us forth out of egypt from the midst of the furnace of iron that thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant and unto the supplication of thy people israel to hearken unto them and all that they call for unto thee for thou did it separate them from among all the people of the earth wait a minute why are we reading the new testament all of a sudden we thank god i love all nations there's some emphatic stuff this he's talking with so much boldness and confidence praying to the lord and and the lord ain't like hey hey solomon shut that down you know i died for all nations you know i'm sending my son to die for all nations bro shut that down don't even do that because they're going to use that against you later no he's speaking emphatically because he notices what the bible is talking about solomon saw the beginning miss in the end of times why would he say this if he didn't know he was going to go into captivity and god was going to redeem us from the hand of our enemies go ahead for thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth to be dying inheritance as thou spake is by the hand of moses thy servant when thou brought us our fathers out of egypt o lord god go ahead and it was so that when solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the lord he arose from before the altar of the lord from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven and he stood and blessed all the congregation of israel with a loud voice saying blessed be the lord that hath given rest unto his people israel according to all that he promised there have not failed one word of all his good promise which he promised by the hand of moses so everything so everything in the lord wrote deuteronomy 28 the blessings he fulfilled him go ahead the lord our god be with us as he was with our fathers let him not leave us nor forsake us that he may incline our hearts unto him and walk in all his ways and keep and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments which he commanded our fathers and let these my words wherewith i have made supplication before the lord be not unto the lord our god day and night that he may that he maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people israel at all times as the matter shall require that all the people of the earth may know that the lord is god and that there is none else that all people gonna know through us that he's the god because we worship him and serve him the correct way and therefore he blessing his people and afflicting the nations go ahead let your heart therefore be perfect with the lord our god to walk in his statues and to keep his commandments as at this day so since god dealing with us on this level let us be perfect and walk with the lord correctly because of the blessings and the things that he done for the nation of israel of course we're under the curses now but we do realize that we're coming up out of these curses once we repent and come back to the lord go ahead and the king and all israel with him offer sacrifices before the lord and solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings which he had offered unto the lord two and twenty thousand oxen and in hundred twenty thousand sheep so the king and all the children of israel dedicated the house of the lord the same day did the king hollow the middle of the court that was before the house of the lord for there he offered burnt offerings and meat offerings and the fat of the peace offerings because the brazen altar that was before the lord was too little to receive the burnt offering that was inside the temple so he was on the outside uh altar that we saw earlier on the outside and the court read and meat offerings and the fat of the pe and the fat of the peace offerings and at that time solomon held a feast in all israel with him a great congregation from the entering inn of hammeth to enter into vermont three unto the river of egypt all the way to the river egypt that's how many people were lined up man it was turn read before the lord our god seven days and seven days even 14 days seven days and seven days even 14 days we was turnt up read on the eighth day he sent the people away and they blessed the king and went unto their tents joyful they went today joyful read and glad of heart for all the goodness that the lord had done for david his servant and for israel his people go back and meditate on that chapter first kings chapter eight is a heavy chapter i'm gonna go ahead and read it for a couple more times myself it's a lot of precepts a lot of stuff we could pull out of the joyfulness and the goodness of the lord man lord been real merciful to israel even to this day so we're going to shut it down we'll get out of the way for our tgif lineup uh
