Excerpt from Chapter by Chapter Through the Bible, Vol. 2 of 4: Expository and Devotional Comments
Enh the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of [fig work. Since every detail of the Temple-building had a significant meaning, each being designed to show forth something of the beauty of holiness, no part of this record is without spiritual value. The fact that the pillars which supported the roof were adorned with chapiters of tracery is suggestive of that com bination of strength and beauty which is seen in the perfect character of God, and which forms part of the ideal life also of His people. That infinite pains should be taken, not only to assure the stability of God's house, but also its chaste decoration, is truly characteristic of Him Who has not, in the world of nature, made anything strong which is not also beauti ful, and Whose care in nature and grace alike is not only for the great, but also for the small details of life.

Excerpt from Chapter by Chapter Through the Bible, Vol. 2 of 4: Expository and Devotional Comments
With such care was the material prepared and fashioned that its assembly was entirely without confusion. From quarry and forest and mine, the stone and Wood and gems were brought ready for their final place in the temple of the Lord. And yet much work of chisel and axe and hammer had gone to effect this state of perfection. Sharp edge and heavy blow had done their work before each item was made meet for the Master's use. But all this work of preparation was hidden.
In this is a picture of the silent growth by which the whole Building, fitly joined together, groweth unto an Holy Temple for God's eternal indwelling. Each stone in that invisible building is itself a temple in miniature, prepared by the indwelling Holy Spirit to occupy a place in the whole. This is the meaning of life's hidden discipline, by which faults are corrected, blemishes removed, capacities enlarged, and needed spiritual qualities imparted. It is all in View of the place which each must occupy in the spiritual House of God. There is nothing of ostentation or noise in this process. The inner constraint of the Spirit answers in each to the outer providential arrangement of circumstances, and the living stones find them selves in position. Nothing happens by chance. The Master Builder knows just what He is doing with each one, and in the silence His plans are perfected as We are acquiescent. The compulsion of axe and hammer is not needed in the life that is truly yielded to Him.r kings vii. 19.
