Whose name signifies peace, or peaceable
III. The temple was typical of Christ., in respect of the builder of it, which was Solomon
Whose name signifies peace, or peaceable
And he was chosen to he the builder of the temple on that account. His father was rejected because he was a man of war, and a man of blood: but Solomon’s reign being peaceable, he had leisure for that service; and being a man of peace, was a proper person for being engaged therein. And herein he was a type of Christ, the Prince of Peace; who is in his nature peaceable, and the author and giver of peace, spiritual and eternal. A greater than Solomon was concerned in building the church of God; and that not only on account of his being the Prince of Peace, but because in every thing he excelled him, even in those things in which Solomon excelled others, particularly in wisdom and riches. A greater than Solo on is the builder of the church of God; even he in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge; (Colossians 2:3) and whose riches are unsearchable. (Ephesians 3:8)
