II. The temple built by Solomon, may be considered as a figure of the church of God
With respect to the situation of it
It was built upon an eminence, upon mount Moriah. (2 Chronicles 3:1) The church of Christ is also built upon an hill, and upon a Rock, the Rock Christ Jesus: Upon this Rock will I build my church. (Matthew 16:18) Zion is well founded by the Lord of Hosts; for a good foundation the Lord hath laid in Zion: even a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: (Isaiah 28:16) such a foundation as will always abide, will never give way, and upon which those who are laid are safe end secure to all eternity.
