Landing Gear
When Solomon’s Temple replaced the Tabernacle, everything was more glorious. Among the enhancements and additions were two great bronze pillars at the entrance. One of the things the Tabernacle symbolises is a great metal man. The glorified Christ is seen in visions with legs of molten bronze, or a fiery, angelic stream that reaches down to the Altar of the earth. The Tabernacle was a portable ‘flying’ chariot of God. These two great pillars, priest and king, were its landing gear.They pictured the union of heaven and earth, and Jew-priest-Land and Gentile-king-Sea in Christ, Greater Solomon.
“I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land…” (Revelation 10:1-2)
