THE GLORY OF SOLOMON: THE MAIN POINT
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. The Glory Of Solomon
a) We come to the point where the kingdom of Israel, in its earthly form, reaches its peak of glory. Solomon takes the throne of David whose time on earth has drawn to its close. Under Solomon's reign the kingdom is united, and very extensive — reaching "from Daniel to Beersheba".
2. The Main Point
a) Behind this story is the extent to which God was willing to bless Solomon. Jesus spoke of "Solomon in all his glory" (Matthew 6:28-30). Solomon was blessed beyond what he asked (1 Kings 3:1-15).
b) We, too, are blessed "exceeding abundantly" (Ephesians 1:3-5 Ephesians 3:14-21). Solomon's glory may be properly regarded as symbolic of the glory of Christ in the church, and of the spiritual blessings enjoyed in Christ by the church, which is the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, the spiritual Israel.
