Mt 16:18 Eph 2:20 Re 21:14
SEV Biblia
Y estaba asentado sobre doce bueyes, tres de los cuales miraban al septentrión, y tres al occidente, y tres al mediodía, y tres al oriente; y el mar asentaba sobre ellos, y todas sus traseras estaban a la parte de adentro.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- The furniture of the temple.
--Here is a further account of the furniture of God's house. Bot without doors and within, there was that which typified the grace of the gospel, and shadowed out good things to come, of which the substance is Christ. There was the brazen altar. The making of this wa not mentioned in the book of Kings. On this all the sacrifices wer offered, and it sanctified the gift. The people who worshipped in the courts might see the sacrifices burned. They might thus be led to consider the great Sacrifice, to be offered in the fulness of time, to take away sin, and put an end to death, which the blood of bulls an goats could not possibly do. And, with the smoke of the sacrifices their hearts might ascend to heaven, in holy desires towards God an his favour. In all our devotions we must keep the eye of faith fixe upon Christ. The furniture of the temple, compared with that of the tabernacle, showed that God's church would be enlarged, and his worshippers multiplied. Blessed be God, there is enough in Christ for all _________________________________________________
