“The Dominion Of Solomon, The Dominion Of Christ”
Reference: 2 Chronicles Chapter 8
In my Fathers Kingdom are many mansions.
John 14:2-3 “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
We are no longer servants to sin but sons of daughters of the King. We are promised a heavenly mansion, an everlasting place. We are promised a resurrection.
Solomon dominates the earth.
Let’s read:
2 Chronicles 8:1-2 “And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house, [2] That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.”
Just like Christ has prepared a mansion for the children of God to dwell. A place where He will rule and reign eternally.
Solomon has a place for Israel to dwell.
We continue our reading:
2 Chronicles 8:3-8 “And Solomon went to Hamath–zobah, and prevailed against it. [4] And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath. [5] Also he built Beth–horon the upper, and Beth–horon the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars; [6] And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion. [7] As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel, [8] But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day.”
The tribute (wages) of sin is death but the gift of God (Jesus Christ) is eternal life.
The child of God in Christ will no more pay tribute to death. We have passed from death unto life.
We continue our reading:
2 Chronicles 8:9 “But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen.”
The child of God in Christ is no longer a servant to sin. We are men and women of war. Faith trained by the Father. We win the war by a well tested faith in His finished work.
We continue our reading:
2 Chronicles 8:10-16 “And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people. [11] And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come. [12] Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch, [13] Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. [14] And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded. [15] And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures. [16] Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.”
The house of the Lord was perfected because it typified Jesus Christ the only perfect One.
In the resurrection, we shall be like Him, in perfection.
We conclude our reading:
2 Chronicles 8:17-18 “Then went Solomon to Ezion–geber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom. [18] And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.”
Heaven is His throne, the earth His footstool.
Isaiah 66:1-2 “Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? [2] For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.”
He is the King of kings, and the Lord of lords.
We are His eternal children.
Let the Word of God bring you into His Kingdom. BELIEVE and confess Christ the King as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. His Kingdom has come, in Christ!
