I Kings
GLEANINGS (March 1989)
1 KINGS 5:11
Apparent contradiction with 2 Chronicles 2:10.
(Lange misquotes this for 4:31.)
1 KINGS 5:9
The logs were BAPTISTS. They were immersed before
they got into the Temple!
1 KINGS 5:12
But this alliance with the people of Tyre and Sidon
is reaped later when Ahab comes to power and marries into the
culture.
1 KINGS 5:16
The number is 36,000 in 2 Chronicles 2:2 (supposed
contradiction).
1 KINGS 5:18
Hence "FREE MASONS." They were "tax exempt" for
building cathedrals back in the Dark Ages (1200-1500 A.D.).
Hiram is the great joker in the Masonic lodges. In the Bible
he is about as important as Shaashgaz (Esther 2).
1 KINGS 6:1
This would be April-May. The verse is a classic
"contradiction," as the total number of years from the Exodus
is well over five hundred. If you add 111 years of captivity
which are listed in the book of Judges, and then add the
forty years wilderness wanderings, you get 654 years from the
Exodus. If the Exodus was in 1491 B.C., this would make
Solomon's temple initiated in 837 B.C., 150-200 years off the
date given. If the Exodus is placed at 1654 B.C., the Temple
was started in 1000 B.C. Bullinger, Anderson, Larkin,
Rimmer, and Lange ALL disagree on the chronology.
1 KINGS 6:18
The word "KNOPS" means a "colocynth." The best
meaning is "KNOBS." (Note the Germanic p converted to b and
vice versa.)
1 KINGS 6:22
In order to do this the Illinois Society of
Architects (back in 1920) figured a cost of $87 billion, or
about $240 billion right now. The vessels of gold, according
to Josephus, were an additional $1,876,000,000. If the
number seems staggering, remember that it could not get
America "out of hock" with the "Federal" Reserve Bank if all
the cash was "on the valve head." AMERICA is $3 trillion "in
the hole": MORE THAN FIVE TIMES THAT AMOUNT.
1 KINGS 6:30
Observe that they walked on GOLD: in the first
Tabernacle they walked on DUST. It is the difference between
the earth NOW and New Jerusalem LATER.
1 KINGS 6:32-35
Notice the VEIL is covering "the tree of life"--the
olive tree.
1 KINGS 7:1-3
Solomon builds three houses: his own, the Lord's, and
"THE HOUSE OF THE FOREST OF LEBANON." A comparison of the
Temple with the Tabernacle shows lengths: 40 by 80 to replace
20 by 40; widths: 20 by 40 to replace 10 by 20; heights: 15
by 30 to replace 10 by 20.
1 KINGS 8:10
No pillar of fire "by night," for the millennium is
the "EIGHTH DAY" (2 Peter 3:8) and has no night to follow it;
it is followed by ETERNAL DAY. This explains why the SEVENTH
DAY has no "evening" (Gen. 2:1-3). The great truth is again
carefully concealed from the staff and faculty of the twenty
largest "fundamental" and "conservative" schools in America.
1 KINGS 8:12
See Exodus 19:16 and 20:21 (cf. Ps. 18:11 and 2 Sam.
22:12).
1 KINGS 8:22
He is STANDING when he begins, but he is KNEELING
when he FINISHES: see 2 Chronicles 6:12 and then verse 54 in
this context.
1 KINGS 8:22-54
Observe the peculiar camouflage of the famous "Lord's
Prayer" of Matthew 6, which is actually the "Disciples'
Prayer."
Our Father (v. 23) which art in heaven (vv. 23,30),
Hallowed be thy name (vv. 31, 33). Thy kingdom come (v. 33).
Thy will be done (v. 34) in earth, as it is in heaven (vv.
34, 36, 37). Give us this day our daily bread (v. 37). And
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors (v. 39)...
For thine is the kingdom (v. 42), and the power (vv. 44, 45),
and the glory (vv. 50, 51), for ever (v. 60)."
1 KINGS 7:16
Note an additional two pillars in 2 Chronicles 4:12
which do not have the same number of pomegranates in the
chain wreath (v. 20--200 in rows; 2 Chron. 4:12--100 in rows;
2 Chron. 4--400 in rows. BUT THERE IS A WHOLE PORCH OF
PILLARS, see v. 6! This should be remembered when the dead
orthodox apostates try to dig out the contradictions found in
Jer. 52:21-22; 2 Chron. 4:12; and 2 Kings 25:17. The AV is
right, as usual, and the scholars are wrong; par for the
course.)
1 KINGS 7:23
A supposed contradiction with 2 Chronicles 4:3. Note
that it is details like this that cause the faculties at Bob
Jones, Tennessee Temple, Springfield, Dallas, Denver, etc.,
to say that the AV has ERRORS, but no "SERIOUS ERRORS." WHAT
THEY MEAN IS, THEY ARE STUPID.
1 KINGS 7:26
Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 4:5. The dummies
cannot see the difference between what it CONTAINED and what
it was able to HOLD. (Typical; quite typical.)
1 KINGS 7:27
Observe the multiples of TEN: ten lavers instead of
one, ten candlesticks instead of one (v. 49), and ten tables
(2 Chron. 4:8). TEN IS THE GENTILE NUMBER (absolutely, in
spite of any other scholar's opinion about it one way or
another), and the Millennium is Christ reigning over the
GENTILES (Rev. 11:15; Acts 15:16-17; Isaiah 2:1-5).
It took three years to make the pillars (1 Kings
7:13). Talmadge says of the Temple that it was "a diamond
necklace for the earth; a vision from heaven had alighted on
the mountains."
1 KINGS 8:2
This is the FEAST OF TABERNACLES, which gives three
absolute, confirmed dates:
1. The exact date of the BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST.
2. The exact date of the SECOND ADVENT OF CHRIST.
3. The exact date of the CREATION OF THE SUN IN THE
"SOLAR SYSTEM."
(Study the following references carefully: Matt.
17:1-6; 2 Peter 1:13-18; Neh. 8; Acts 15:16; Rev. 21:5;
Lev. 23:34-43; Luke 3:23; Hos. 9:5; 12:9; Exod. 25:8-9;
Gen. 1:18-19; Matt. 17:1,4.)
The information is carefully hidden from every Greek
and Hebrew scholar and every faculty member of every
"militant Fundamentalist" school in the world, and at the
same time carefully preserved in EVERY EDITION OF THE AV
PRINTED SINCE 1611. It is one of two dozen ADVANCED
REVELATIONS carefully concealed from people who worship "the
verbally inspired, original autographs."
1 KINGS 8:8
The new generation of hippies (street people: 1960-
1980) want to straighten the world up, and they never learned
how to straighten up their own rooms.
1 KINGS 8:8
Contradicts Exodus 25:15, according to the best
Fundamentalist brains in the Laodicean church. They are
"Fried Freddies" (a street expression for dope addicts). THE
ARK HAS FOUND A PERMANENT RESTING PLACE.
1 KINGS 8:9
Note the millennial situations: there is no MANNA,
because the Word is present! There is no "Aaron's rod that
budded," for the Resurrected Priest is present!
1 KINGS 8:62
See 2 Chronicles 7:1 (27,000 and 120,000) v. 63,
which would be about 144 killed every hour on four altars;
thirty-six an hour on one. With sixteen altars, this would
be one every eight minutes.
1 KINGS 8:66
This is where ISAIAH 66 ends with a "new heavens and
a new earth." Observe the other remarkable "undesigned
coincidence"--IT IS THE EIGHTH DAY. This is the eternal day
that follows the seventh day Millennial "Sabbath" (see 2
Peter 3).
1 KINGS 9:1
There was only a ONE verse warning in chapter 3, but
here the warning goes into FOUR LONG VERSES (vv. 6-9). After
the mountaintop comes the valley: after the pinnacle of
spiritual victory comes the Satanic attack (see David's case
in 2 Sam. 10:18 with 11:1-4).
1 KINGS 9:2
Shows that SIGHT does not always help the spiritual
life; God only APPEARED to David in JUDGMENT: otherwise He
just talked with him. Note that Solomon takes care of the
LORD'S HOUSE before he takes care of his own house: see
Haggai 1:2,9 and Proverbs 24:24.
1 KINGS 9:14
Payment was extremely small. Notice 10:10,14. One
year was SIX TIMES that much.
1 KINGS 9:19
See 10:29.
1 KINGS 9:22
(See 2 Chron. 8:10). The VEDAS and the Zoroasterian
literature is written about this time; too late to give Moses
any competition, or Samuel, or the writer of Judges and
Joshua.
1 KINGS 10:16
The word "six" occurs twelve times in the chapter.
