2 Chronicles 3

REFLECTIONS UPON CHAP. III.—Every circumstance in the worship of God must be ordered according to his appointment: and, if God meet with us in a place or ordinance, let us hope that he will do it again, if it be for his glory and our good. Meanwhile, let me consider Jesus, who came in the promised time and spot, as the great temple of our fellowship with God. The dignity, glory, fulness, and usefulness, of his person, particularly in his exalted state, infinitely transcends this astonishing structure of Solomon: and angels, ministers, and saints shall always admire his glory. With respect to the temple of his church, of his saints, and of heaven, he is the foundation, the wall, the door, the pillars, the ark, the table, the altars, the light, the sea, the laver, yea, the ALL in ALL!
