Thank you Dan; what a day this was! Can we even imagine being present? An epic and life changing day.
Happy weekend to all of you who love our King!
Well-captured, Leon. No one who was present ever forgot it, I’m sure.
I would love to see it happen again!
Not too sure, though, about the bi-fold doors as the entry into the Holy of Holies....
But I am especially looking forward to visiting the real one in heaven. Howsabout we meet at the front entrance?
That would be wonderful!😀
Good Morning, Dan! :-)
Not quite sure where to enter it on my calendar....
Get ready, there's a rumor that a royal personage is due to arrive on Monday, with gifts and retinue alike. We'll need to spiff up our wardrobes--I understand she's planning a three-day stay. Should be quite the spectacle....

Tom, we’re just getting started, Solomonically.
I don’t want to cause hate, I just want to know the answer to one question.
Is there any actual paintings or drawings of the Temple from the time of its building? I guess one more, is there a blueprint?
I know the measurements are proscribed by God himself, but was there written plans? It would be amazing to see, being there is not “one stone left upon another”.
The pictures are amazing, and I really enjoyed the audio readings. Even as a young lad, I loved the pictures in my first Bible, which I won by attending church for an entire year. Unfortunately, I misplaced the one inscribed with my name, and had to purchase another.
Thanks for this link....and sign me up. or ADD ME
(Yours is a perfectly reasonable, inoffensive, excellent question. By the way, “blueprinting” is a recent innovation, begun less than two centuries ago.)
Anything written, even just a sketch, would be a priceless artifact. Obviously, extensive architectural and engineering plans, elevations and sections were indeed produced. But preserving paper for three millennia would be quite a challenge.
Still, God can do anything. Perhaps Qumran’s caves will yet yield Temple drawings. But if any remain, it certainly isn’t common knowledge.
Which leads to the question, why hasn’t God preserved and revealed the plans? Or the Temple and its contents? To me, it seems rather obvious that He wants the focus on His Son, but you may have a different view.
I’ve added you to the Ping List. On average, you can expect about five pings each week. Your first should be on Monday.

"Whenever you read in the Bible, 'sacrifice', think: Barbeque." - Jackie Mason...................
The First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians and the Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans.
Any paintings or drawings would have been on papyrus or animal skins (parchment) and crumbled to dust many centuries ago............
Jackie=one of a kind
We shall not see his like again.......................
