Day 162, 11 June 2021
1 Kings 7 ; 2 Chron 4
1 Kings 7
Solomon's Palace Built
1 (1Ki 9:10; 2Ch 8:1) Solomon was building his own house for thirteen years,
and he finished all his house.
2 (1Ki 10:17; 2Ch 9:16( He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
Its length was a hundred cubits, and its width was fifty cubits,
and its height was thirty cubits, [About 150 feet long, 7
5 feet wide and 45 feet high,
or 45 meters long, 23 meters wide and 14 meters high. ]
built on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 It was covered with cedar over the top of the beams,
which sat upon 45 pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 There were window frames in three rows and window opposite
window in three tiers.
5 All the doors and posts were rectangular with the openings facing
each other in three tiers.
6 He made a porch of pillars with a length of fifty cubits
and a breadth of thirty cubits.
[About 75 feet long and 45 feet wide, or 23 meters long and 14 meters wide.]
There was a porch in front with pillars, and a canopy in front of them.
7 (Ps 122:5; Pr 20:8) Then he made a porch for the throne,
from which he would judge, and called it the Hall of Judgment.
It was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
8 (1Ki 3:1; 2Ch 8:11) His own house where he lived, in the other court back
of the hall, was similar in style. Solomon also made a house like this
for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as a wife.
9 All these were built with costly stones, cut to size and sawed
with saws on the inside and outside, from the foundation up to the coping,
throughout the outside toward the great court.
10 The foundation was of large, costly stones, stones of ten
[About 15 feet, or 4.5 meters; and in v. 23.] and 8
[About 12 feet, or 3.6 meters.] cubits in size.
11 Above were costly stones cut to size, along with cedars.
12 (1Ki 6:36) The great court was enclosed with three rows of hewed
stones and a row of cedar beams. So were the inner court of the house
of the Lord and the porch of the house.
The Furnishings of the Temple
2Ch 4:2–-5:1
13 (2Ch 4:11) Now King Solomon sent and called Huram out of Tyre.
14 (2Ch 2:14; 4:16) He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali,
and his father was a man of Tyre who worked in bronze, and he was filled
with wisdom and understanding and skill to make all sorts of items in bronze.
So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.
15 (Jer 52:21; 1Ki 7:21) He cast two pillars of bronze
eighteen cubits high each and twelve cubits
[About 27 feet high and 18 feet in circumference,
or 8.1 meters high and 5.4 meters in circumference.]
in circumference.
16 He made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars.
The height of the one capital was five cubits,
[About 15 pounds, or 6.9 kilograms; and in v. 29.]
and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
17 He made lattices of checker work with wreaths of chainwork
for the capitals on top of the pillars: seven for one capital
and seven for the other.
18 Likewise he made pomegranates in two rows around
the one latticework to cover the capital that was on the top of the pillar,
and he did the same for the other capital.
19 The capitals that were on top of the pillars in the porch were four cubits
[About 6 feet, or 1.8 meters; and in v. 38. ] high and in the shape of lilies.
20 (2Ch 3:16; 4:13) The capitals on top of the two pillars also had
pomegranates above, by the convex surface which was next to the latticework.
There were two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.
21 (2Ch 3:17; 1Ki 6:3) He set up the pillars in the porch of the temple.
He set up the right pillar and called it Jakin,
and he set up the left pillar and called it Boaz.
22 The tops of the pillars were in the shape of lilies.
This completed the work on the pillars.
23 (2Ki 25:13; 2Ch 4:2) He made a cast metal sea, ten cubits from one side
to the other. It was round and had a height of five cubits,
and a line of thirty cubits [About 45 feet, or 14 meters.] encircled it.
24 (1Ki 6:18; 2Ch 4:3) Under the brim all the way around there were gourds,
ten in a cubit. When it was cast, the gourds were placed in two rows going
all the way around it.
25 (Jer 52:20; 2Ch 4:4-5) It stood on top of twelve oxen with three facing
north, three facing toward the west, three facing toward the south,
and three facing toward the east. The sea was set on them,
and their hindquarters were turned inward.
26 (2Ch 4:5) It was a hand-breadth [About 3 inches, or 7.5 centimeters].
thick, and the brim was made similar to the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom.
It could hold two thousand baths.[About 12,000 gallons, or 44,000 liters.
27 (2Ch 4:14; 2Ki 25:13) He made ten stands out of bronze,
each measuring four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.
[About 6 feet long and wide and 4 1/2 feet high, or 1.8 meters long
and wide and 1.4 meters high. ]
28 The work of the stands looked like this: They had panels,
and the panels were set in the frames.
29 And on the panels that were set in the frames were lions, oxen,
and cherubim. On the frames both above and below the lions and oxen,
there were wreaths of beveled work.
30 Every stand had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze,
and at the four corners were supports for a basin.
The supports were cast with wreaths at the side of each.
31 Its opening was within a crown that projected upward one cubit.
Its opening was round, like the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half deep.
[About 2 1/4 feet, or 68 centimeters; and in v. 32.]
At its opening there were engravings, and its panels were four-sided, not round.
32 Underneath the panels were four wheels, and the axles of the wheels
were joined to the stand, and the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.
33 The wheels worked like chariot wheels in that their axles
and rims and spokes and hubs were all cast metal.
34 There were four supports for the four corners of each stand,
and the supports were part of one piece with the stand itself.
35 On the top of the stand, there was a round band half a cubit
[About 9 inches, or 23 centimeters.] high, and on the top of the stand
its stays and its panels were of one piece with it.
36On the surface of its stays and on its panels, he engraved cherubim,
lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each,
with wreaths all around.
37 In this way he made the ten stands, with them
all having the same shape, measure, and size.
38 Then he made ten basins of bronze, with each basin able to hold forty baths,
[About 240 gallons, or 880 liters]. each being four cubits.
Upon every one of the ten stands sat one basin.
39 He put five stands on the right side of the house,
and five on the left side of the house.
He set the sea on the right side of the house toward the southeast.
40 (2Ch 4:11-16) Huram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins.
So Huram finished all the work in making items for King Solomon
for use in the house of the Lord: 41the two pillars, the two bowls
of the capitals that were on the top of the two pillars, the two latticeworks
to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars;
42 (1Ki 7:20) and the four hundred pomegranates for the two latticeworks,
two rows of pomegranates for each latticework,
to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;
43 the ten stands and ten basins on the stands;
44 one sea and twelve oxen under the sea;
45Ex 27:3; 38:3the pots, the shovels, and the basins.
All these vessels that Huram made for King Solomon for the house
of the Lord were of burnished bronze.
46 (Jos 3:16; Ge 33:17) In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them,
in the clay ground between Sukkoth and Zarethan.
47 (1Ch 22:14; 22:3) Solomon left all the vessels unweighed
because there were so many. The weight of the bronze was also never measured.
48 (Ex 37:10-16; 2Ch 4:8) Solomon made all the vessels that were needed
for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, the table of gold on
which was showbread,
49 (2Ch 4:7) the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side
and five on the left before the inner sanctuary; the flowers, the lamps,
and the tongs, of gold;
50 the cups, snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, fire pans, of pure gold;
the sockets for the doors of the innermost part of the house,
the Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the nave of the temple, of gold.
51 (2Ch 5:1) All the work that King Solomon made for the house of the Lord
was completed. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father
had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the cups-and he put them among
the treasures of the house of the Lord.
2 Chronicles 4
The Furnishings of the Temple
1Ki 7:23-51
1 (1Ki 8:64; Eze 43:13-17) Then he made a bronze altar that was twenty cubits long,
twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits (Or Abi in 2Ki 18:2.) high.
2 And he made a cast metal sea as a water basin. It was round and ten cubits
from edge to edge, five cubits high, [About 7 1/2 feet, or 2.3 meters. ]
and a line of thirty cubits [About 45 feet, or 14 meters.] measured
its circumference.
3 Figures like oxen were underneath it, going all the way around
the sea basin, ten cubits [About 18 inches, or 45 centimeters.] on each side.
Or ten oxen for a cubit. There were two rows of oxen that were poured
as cast metal.
4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west,
three facing south, and three facing east.
The sea was set on them, and their back sides were facing inward.
5 (1Ki 7:26) The thickness of the sea was a palm, [
About 3 inches, or 7.5 centimeters. ] and its brim was like the brim of a cup,
as the flower of a lily. It held three thousand baths
[About 18,000 gallons, or 66,000 liters]. securely.
6 (1Ki 7:38; Ex 30:18-21) Then he made ten water basins,
and he set five on the southern right side and five on the northern
left side to rinse off in them the instruments of the burnt offering.
And the sea basin was for the priests to wash in.
7 (Ex 25:31-40; 1Ki 7:49) And he made ten lampstands of gold
according to the specifications, and he set them in the temple,
five on the southern, right side and five on the northern, left side.
8 (1Ki 7:48) Then he made ten tables and put them in the temple,
five on the southern, right side and five on the northern, left side;
and he made a hundred basins of gold.
9 (1Ki 6:36; 2Ki 21:5) Then he made the court of the priests
and the great enclosure and the doors for the enclosure,
and he overlaid the doors with bronze.
10 (1Ki 7:39) And he set the sea basin at the southeast side,
opposite the southern side of the house.
11 And Huram made the pots, shovels, and bowls.
So Huram completed the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of God:
12 (1Ki 7:41) the two pillars, the bowls, and the two capitals on the top
of the pillars; and the two latticeworks to cover the two bowls
of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
13 (1Ki 7:20) and the four hundred pomegranates for the two pieces
of grating, with two rows of pomegranates for each screen grate that covered
the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars.
14 (1Ki 7:27-43) And he made the supporting stands and the basins on top
of the stands,
15 and the sea basin and the twelve oxen underneath it;
16 (2Ch 2:13; 1Ki 7:13-14) the pots, shovels, utensils, and all the vessels
from polished bronze, Huram-Abi made for King Solomon
for the house of the Lord.
17 The king cast these vessels in the district of the Jordan in earthen
foundries between Sukkoth and Zeredatha. [Zarethan in 1Ki 7:46.]
18 (1Ki 7:47) And Solomon made all of these items in a great abundance
such that they did not consider the weight of the bronze.
19 So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God:
the gold altar and the tables displaying the showbread,
20 (Ex 25:31-37; 2Ch 4:7) and the finely hammered lampstands
with their lamps to burn before the Most Holy Place as prescribed;
21 the golden flower-shaped ornaments, lamps, and tongs, of purest gold;
22 the snuffers, basins, ladles, and fire pans, of pure gold. As for
the entrance to the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place
and the doors of the nave of the temple were of gold.

entitled Unseen Wonder
1 Peter 1:3-9
3 (1Co 15:20; 2Co 1:3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who according to His abundant mercy has given us a new birth into
a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 (Col 1:5; 2Ti 4:8) to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance
that does not fade away, kept in heaven for you,
5 (Eph 2:8) who are protected by the power of God through faith
for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 (Jas 1:2; Isa 61:3; Ro 5:2) In this you greatly rejoice, even though now,
if for a little while, you have had to suffer various trials,
7 (Job 23:10; Pr 17:3; Isa 48:10) in order that the genuineness of your faith,
which is more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tried by fire,
may be found to result in praise, glory,
and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
8 (Jn 20:29; Heb 11:27) whom, having not seen, you love; and in whom,
though you do not see Him now, you believe and you rejoice
with joy unspeakable and full of glory,
9 (Ro 6:22) receiving as the result of your faith the salvation of your souls.
In the twilight of her years, Mrs. Goodrich's thoughts came in
and out of focus along with memories of a challenging and grace-filled life.
Sitting by a window overlooking the waters of Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay,
she reached for her notepad. In words she soon wouldn't recognize
as her own she wrote: "Here I am in my favorite chair, with my feet
on the sill, and my heart in the air. The sun-struck waves on the water below,
in constant motion-to where I don't know. But thank You-dear Father above
-for Your innumerable gifts and Your undying love! It always amazes me
-How can it be? That I'm so in love with One I can't see."
The apostle Peter acknowledged such wonder. He had seen Jesus
with his own eyes, but those who would read his letter had not.
"Though you have not seen him . . . you believe in him and are filled
with an inexpressible and glorious joy" (1 Peter 1:8).
We love Jesus not because we're commanded to, but because
with the help of the Spirit (v. 11) we begin to see how much He loves us.
It's more than hearing that He cares for people like us. It's experiencing
for ourselves the promise of Christ to make the wonder of His unseen
presence and Spirit real to us at every stage of life.

Reflect & Pray
Read 1 Peter 1:3-9 again. In what ways do these words show you
how our God makes the inexpressible real to us?
How open are you to the Spirit of Jesus, who lives in and among us?
Our Father in heaven, please help me to see the miracle of Your love
and presence in Your Son and to believe in Your Spirit.
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 6 - It is Finished
John 5:24
24 (Jn 3:18; 1Jn 3:14; Jn 3:36) "Truly, truly I say to you, whoever hears
My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life
and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. "
"PLEASE BE PATIENT - GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH ME YET,"
the sweatshirt read. In this case, the message was an ironic one,
for the occupant of the shirt was a snaggle-toothed, freckle-faced six year
old!
In one sense, God is not finished with the work he has to do in each of us.
Life in Christ is an ongoing process of change and growth as we become
more like him. Certainly, the more we see of ourselves, the more we hope
he isn't finished with us!
Yet whatever plans God has for making us into the men and women he created
us to be, certain aspects of our life in Christ are finisehd, finalised.
Jesus declares with absolute assurance, "whoever hears
My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life
and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. "
Because we do not have to earn or deserve God's grace, because we are not
called to prove ourselves worthy of Salvation, we can have immediate
and total assurance of the security of life in Jesus Christ. The one who
put his trust in the Lord has eternal life; he will not be condemned;
he has crossed over from death to life.
This "crossing over" into life happens in the split second when we acknowledge
our dependence upon Christ alone. And the rest of our lives is given over to
the devleopemnt of his image in us.
God is not finished with us yet. But his wokr of salvation is finished - complete,
fully dependable an accomplished fact.
Application
a) Have I ever doubted the "accomplished fact" of my own salvation? Why?
b) How can today's verse help me realise that, although I may have a lot of
growing yet to do, my salvation in JEsus Christ is secure?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Ps 35:27
27 May those who favour my righteous cause
shout for joy and be glad;
may they say continually, "The Lord be magnified,
who delights in the peace of His servant."
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Generous Provision
Matthew 6:24-34
God and Money
24 (Lk 16:13; 16:11; 16:9) "No one can serve two masters.
For either he will hate the one and love the other,
or else he will hold to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and money."
Care and Anxiety
Lk 12:22–34
25 (Mt 6:31; 6:34; Php 4:6) "Therefore, I say to you,
take no thought about your life, what you will eat,
or what you will drink, nor about your body,
what you will put on. Is not life more than
and the body than clothing?
26 (Job 38:41; Ps 147:9) Look at the birds of the air,
for they do not sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns.
Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?
27 Who among you by taking thought can add a cubit
(A cubit is about half a meter.) to his stature?
28 (Mt 6:25; 6:31) "Why take thought about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:
They neither work, nor do they spin.
29 (1Ki 10:4–7; 2Ch 9:4–6) Yet I say to you that even Solomon
in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
30 (Mt 8:26; 14:31) Therefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field,
which today is here and tomorrow is thrown into the oven,
will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 (1Pe 5:7) Therefore, take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?'
or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
32 (Mt 6:8; Lk 12:30) (For the Gentiles seek after all these things.)
For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
33 (1Ti 4:8; 1Ki 3:11-13) But seek first the kingdom of God
and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you.
34 (Mt 6:25) Therefore, take no thought about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will take thought about the things of itself.
Sufficient to the day is the trouble thereof.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Quebec
Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec
Quebec 2015 population 8214 000
est Muslim Population 418946
CNMM Networks: Montreal
There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering
os Muslims scattered aound the rest of the province, yet the vast majority
of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim
population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone
African Muslims are atrracted to La Belle Provence.
And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more
Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.
This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches
and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small
by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that
is often either indifferent to releigion or resistant to it. And now
this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly
or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br
easy for Christians to feel overwhlem by this cultural double-whammy,
yet God has alsways worked miracles through the small, the few.
Agree in prayer for :
- Te people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel
- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding
-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting
together for worship!
- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for
reaching Muslims in Quebec.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .

1 Kings 7
Solomon's Palace Built
1 (1Ki 9:10; 2Ch 8:1) Solomon was building his own house for thirteen years,
and he finished all his house.
2 (1Ki 10:17; 2Ch 9:16( He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
Its length was a hundred cubits, and its width was fifty cubits,
and its height was thirty cubits, [About 150 feet long, 7
5 feet wide and 45 feet high,
or 45 meters long, 23 meters wide and 14 meters high. ]
built on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 It was covered with cedar over the top of the beams,
which sat upon 45 pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 There were window frames in three rows and window opposite
window in three tiers.
5 All the doors and posts were rectangular with the openings facing
each other in three tiers.
6 He made a porch of pillars with a length of fifty cubits
and a breadth of thirty cubits.
[About 75 feet long and 45 feet wide, or 23 meters long and 14 meters wide.]
There was a porch in front with pillars, and a canopy in front of them.
7 (Ps 122:5; Pr 20:8) Then he made a porch for the throne,
from which he would judge, and called it the Hall of Judgment.
It was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
8 (1Ki 3:1; 2Ch 8:11) His own house where he lived, in the other court back
of the hall, was similar in style. Solomon also made a house like this
for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as a wife.
9 All these were built with costly stones, cut to size and sawed
with saws on the inside and outside, from the foundation up to the coping,
throughout the outside toward the great court.
10 The foundation was of large, costly stones, stones of ten
[About 15 feet, or 4.5 meters; and in v. 23.] and 8
[About 12 feet, or 3.6 meters.] cubits in size.
11 Above were costly stones cut to size, along with cedars.
12 (1Ki 6:36) The great court was enclosed with three rows of hewed
stones and a row of cedar beams. So were the inner court of the house
of the Lord and the porch of the house.
The Furnishings of the Temple
2Ch 4:2–-5:1
13 (2Ch 4:11) Now King Solomon sent and called Huram out of Tyre.
14 (2Ch 2:14; 4:16) He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali,
and his father was a man of Tyre who worked in bronze, and he was filled
with wisdom and understanding and skill to make all sorts of items in bronze.
So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.
15 (Jer 52:21; 1Ki 7:21) He cast two pillars of bronze
eighteen cubits high each and twelve cubits
[About 27 feet high and 18 feet in circumference,
or 8.1 meters high and 5.4 meters in circumference.]
in circumference.
16 He made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars.
The height of the one capital was five cubits,
[About 15 pounds, or 6.9 kilograms; and in v. 29.]
and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
17 He made lattices of checker work with wreaths of chainwork
for the capitals on top of the pillars: seven for one capital
and seven for the other.
18 Likewise he made pomegranates in two rows around
the one latticework to cover the capital that was on the top of the pillar,
and he did the same for the other capital.
19 The capitals that were on top of the pillars in the porch were four cubits
[About 6 feet, or 1.8 meters; and in v. 38. ] high and in the shape of lilies.
20 (2Ch 3:16; 4:13) The capitals on top of the two pillars also had
pomegranates above, by the convex surface which was next to the latticework.
There were two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.
21 (2Ch 3:17; 1Ki 6:3) He set up the pillars in the porch of the temple.
He set up the right pillar and called it Jakin,
and he set up the left pillar and called it Boaz.
22 The tops of the pillars were in the shape of lilies.
This completed the work on the pillars.
23 (2Ki 25:13; 2Ch 4:2) He made a cast metal sea, ten cubits from one side
to the other. It was round and had a height of five cubits,
and a line of thirty cubits [About 45 feet, or 14 meters.] encircled it.
24 (1Ki 6:18; 2Ch 4:3) Under the brim all the way around there were gourds,
ten in a cubit. When it was cast, the gourds were placed in two rows going
all the way around it.
25 (Jer 52:20; 2Ch 4:4-5) It stood on top of twelve oxen with three facing
north, three facing toward the west, three facing toward the south,
and three facing toward the east. The sea was set on them,
and their hindquarters were turned inward.
26 (2Ch 4:5) It was a hand-breadth [About 3 inches, or 7.5 centimeters].
thick, and the brim was made similar to the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom.
It could hold two thousand baths.[About 12,000 gallons, or 44,000 liters.
27 (2Ch 4:14; 2Ki 25:13) He made ten stands out of bronze,
each measuring four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.
[About 6 feet long and wide and 4 1/2 feet high, or 1.8 meters long
and wide and 1.4 meters high. ]
28 The work of the stands looked like this: They had panels,
and the panels were set in the frames.
29 And on the panels that were set in the frames were lions, oxen,
and cherubim. On the frames both above and below the lions and oxen,
there were wreaths of beveled work.
30 Every stand had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze,
and at the four corners were supports for a basin.
The supports were cast with wreaths at the side of each.
31 Its opening was within a crown that projected upward one cubit.
Its opening was round, like the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half deep.
[About 2 1/4 feet, or 68 centimeters; and in v. 32.]
At its opening there were engravings, and its panels were four-sided, not round.
32 Underneath the panels were four wheels, and the axles of the wheels
were joined to the stand, and the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.
33 The wheels worked like chariot wheels in that their axles
and rims and spokes and hubs were all cast metal.
34 There were four supports for the four corners of each stand,
and the supports were part of one piece with the stand itself.
35 On the top of the stand, there was a round band half a cubit
[About 9 inches, or 23 centimeters.] high, and on the top of the stand
its stays and its panels were of one piece with it.
36On the surface of its stays and on its panels, he engraved cherubim,
lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each,
with wreaths all around.
37 In this way he made the ten stands, with them
all having the same shape, measure, and size.
38 Then he made ten basins of bronze, with each basin able to hold forty baths,
[About 240 gallons, or 880 liters]. each being four cubits.
Upon every one of the ten stands sat one basin.
39 He put five stands on the right side of the house,
and five on the left side of the house.
He set the sea on the right side of the house toward the southeast.
40 (2Ch 4:11-16) Huram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins.
So Huram finished all the work in making items for King Solomon
for use in the house of the Lord: 41the two pillars, the two bowls
of the capitals that were on the top of the two pillars, the two latticeworks
to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars;
42 (1Ki 7:20) and the four hundred pomegranates for the two latticeworks,
two rows of pomegranates for each latticework,
to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;
43 the ten stands and ten basins on the stands;
44 one sea and twelve oxen under the sea;
45Ex 27:3; 38:3the pots, the shovels, and the basins.
All these vessels that Huram made for King Solomon for the house
of the Lord were of burnished bronze.
46 (Jos 3:16; Ge 33:17) In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them,
in the clay ground between Sukkoth and Zarethan.
47 (1Ch 22:14; 22:3) Solomon left all the vessels unweighed
because there were so many. The weight of the bronze was also never measured.
48 (Ex 37:10-16; 2Ch 4:8) Solomon made all the vessels that were needed
for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, the table of gold on
which was showbread,
49 (2Ch 4:7) the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side
and five on the left before the inner sanctuary; the flowers, the lamps,
and the tongs, of gold;
50 the cups, snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, fire pans, of pure gold;
the sockets for the doors of the innermost part of the house,
the Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the nave of the temple, of gold.
51 (2Ch 5:1) All the work that King Solomon made for the house of the Lord
was completed. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father
had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the cups-and he put them among
the treasures of the house of the Lord.
2 Chronicles 4
The Furnishings of the Temple
1Ki 7:23-51
1 (1Ki 8:64; Eze 43:13-17) Then he made a bronze altar that was twenty cubits long,
twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits (Or Abi in 2Ki 18:2.) high.
2 And he made a cast metal sea as a water basin. It was round and ten cubits
from edge to edge, five cubits high, [About 7 1/2 feet, or 2.3 meters. ]
and a line of thirty cubits [About 45 feet, or 14 meters.] measured
its circumference.
3 Figures like oxen were underneath it, going all the way around
the sea basin, ten cubits [About 18 inches, or 45 centimeters.] on each side.
Or ten oxen for a cubit. There were two rows of oxen that were poured
as cast metal.
4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west,
three facing south, and three facing east.
The sea was set on them, and their back sides were facing inward.
5 (1Ki 7:26) The thickness of the sea was a palm, [
About 3 inches, or 7.5 centimeters. ] and its brim was like the brim of a cup,
as the flower of a lily. It held three thousand baths
[About 18,000 gallons, or 66,000 liters]. securely.
6 (1Ki 7:38; Ex 30:18-21) Then he made ten water basins,
and he set five on the southern right side and five on the northern
left side to rinse off in them the instruments of the burnt offering.
And the sea basin was for the priests to wash in.
7 (Ex 25:31-40; 1Ki 7:49) And he made ten lampstands of gold
according to the specifications, and he set them in the temple,
five on the southern, right side and five on the northern, left side.
8 (1Ki 7:48) Then he made ten tables and put them in the temple,
five on the southern, right side and five on the northern, left side;
and he made a hundred basins of gold.
9 (1Ki 6:36; 2Ki 21:5) Then he made the court of the priests
and the great enclosure and the doors for the enclosure,
and he overlaid the doors with bronze.
10 (1Ki 7:39) And he set the sea basin at the southeast side,
opposite the southern side of the house.
11 And Huram made the pots, shovels, and bowls.
So Huram completed the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of God:
12 (1Ki 7:41) the two pillars, the bowls, and the two capitals on the top
of the pillars; and the two latticeworks to cover the two bowls
of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
13 (1Ki 7:20) and the four hundred pomegranates for the two pieces
of grating, with two rows of pomegranates for each screen grate that covered
the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars.
14 (1Ki 7:27-43) And he made the supporting stands and the basins on top
of the stands,
15 and the sea basin and the twelve oxen underneath it;
16 (2Ch 2:13; 1Ki 7:13-14) the pots, shovels, utensils, and all the vessels
from polished bronze, Huram-Abi made for King Solomon
for the house of the Lord.
17 The king cast these vessels in the district of the Jordan in earthen
foundries between Sukkoth and Zeredatha. [Zarethan in 1Ki 7:46.]
18 (1Ki 7:47) And Solomon made all of these items in a great abundance
such that they did not consider the weight of the bronze.
19 So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God:
the gold altar and the tables displaying the showbread,
20 (Ex 25:31-37; 2Ch 4:7) and the finely hammered lampstands
with their lamps to burn before the Most Holy Place as prescribed;
21 the golden flower-shaped ornaments, lamps, and tongs, of purest gold;
22 the snuffers, basins, ladles, and fire pans, of pure gold. As for
the entrance to the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place
and the doors of the nave of the temple were of gold.

entitled Unseen Wonder
1 Peter 1:3-9
3 (1Co 15:20; 2Co 1:3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who according to His abundant mercy has given us a new birth into
a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 (Col 1:5; 2Ti 4:8) to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance
that does not fade away, kept in heaven for you,
5 (Eph 2:8) who are protected by the power of God through faith
for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 (Jas 1:2; Isa 61:3; Ro 5:2) In this you greatly rejoice, even though now,
if for a little while, you have had to suffer various trials,
7 (Job 23:10; Pr 17:3; Isa 48:10) in order that the genuineness of your faith,
which is more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tried by fire,
may be found to result in praise, glory,
and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
8 (Jn 20:29; Heb 11:27) whom, having not seen, you love; and in whom,
though you do not see Him now, you believe and you rejoice
with joy unspeakable and full of glory,
9 (Ro 6:22) receiving as the result of your faith the salvation of your souls.
In the twilight of her years, Mrs. Goodrich's thoughts came in
and out of focus along with memories of a challenging and grace-filled life.
Sitting by a window overlooking the waters of Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay,
she reached for her notepad. In words she soon wouldn't recognize
as her own she wrote: "Here I am in my favorite chair, with my feet
on the sill, and my heart in the air. The sun-struck waves on the water below,
in constant motion-to where I don't know. But thank You-dear Father above
-for Your innumerable gifts and Your undying love! It always amazes me
-How can it be? That I'm so in love with One I can't see."
The apostle Peter acknowledged such wonder. He had seen Jesus
with his own eyes, but those who would read his letter had not.
"Though you have not seen him . . . you believe in him and are filled
with an inexpressible and glorious joy" (1 Peter 1:8).
We love Jesus not because we're commanded to, but because
with the help of the Spirit (v. 11) we begin to see how much He loves us.
It's more than hearing that He cares for people like us. It's experiencing
for ourselves the promise of Christ to make the wonder of His unseen
presence and Spirit real to us at every stage of life.

Reflect & Pray
Read 1 Peter 1:3-9 again. In what ways do these words show you
how our God makes the inexpressible real to us?
How open are you to the Spirit of Jesus, who lives in and among us?
Our Father in heaven, please help me to see the miracle of Your love
and presence in Your Son and to believe in Your Spirit.
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 6 - It is Finished
John 5:24
24 (Jn 3:18; 1Jn 3:14; Jn 3:36) "Truly, truly I say to you, whoever hears
My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life
and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. "
"PLEASE BE PATIENT - GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH ME YET,"
the sweatshirt read. In this case, the message was an ironic one,
for the occupant of the shirt was a snaggle-toothed, freckle-faced six year
old!
In one sense, God is not finished with the work he has to do in each of us.
Life in Christ is an ongoing process of change and growth as we become
more like him. Certainly, the more we see of ourselves, the more we hope
he isn't finished with us!
Yet whatever plans God has for making us into the men and women he created
us to be, certain aspects of our life in Christ are finisehd, finalised.
Jesus declares with absolute assurance, "whoever hears
My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life
and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. "
Because we do not have to earn or deserve God's grace, because we are not
called to prove ourselves worthy of Salvation, we can have immediate
and total assurance of the security of life in Jesus Christ. The one who
put his trust in the Lord has eternal life; he will not be condemned;
he has crossed over from death to life.
This "crossing over" into life happens in the split second when we acknowledge
our dependence upon Christ alone. And the rest of our lives is given over to
the devleopemnt of his image in us.
God is not finished with us yet. But his wokr of salvation is finished - complete,
fully dependable an accomplished fact.
Application
a) Have I ever doubted the "accomplished fact" of my own salvation? Why?
b) How can today's verse help me realise that, although I may have a lot of
growing yet to do, my salvation in JEsus Christ is secure?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Ps 35:27
27 May those who favour my righteous cause
shout for joy and be glad;
may they say continually, "The Lord be magnified,
who delights in the peace of His servant."
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Generous Provision
Matthew 6:24-34
God and Money
24 (Lk 16:13; 16:11; 16:9) "No one can serve two masters.
For either he will hate the one and love the other,
or else he will hold to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and money."
Care and Anxiety
Lk 12:22–34
25 (Mt 6:31; 6:34; Php 4:6) "Therefore, I say to you,
take no thought about your life, what you will eat,
or what you will drink, nor about your body,
what you will put on. Is not life more than
and the body than clothing?
26 (Job 38:41; Ps 147:9) Look at the birds of the air,
for they do not sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns.
Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?
27 Who among you by taking thought can add a cubit
(A cubit is about half a meter.) to his stature?
28 (Mt 6:25; 6:31) "Why take thought about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:
They neither work, nor do they spin.
29 (1Ki 10:4–7; 2Ch 9:4–6) Yet I say to you that even Solomon
in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
30 (Mt 8:26; 14:31) Therefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field,
which today is here and tomorrow is thrown into the oven,
will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 (1Pe 5:7) Therefore, take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?'
or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
32 (Mt 6:8; Lk 12:30) (For the Gentiles seek after all these things.)
For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
33 (1Ti 4:8; 1Ki 3:11-13) But seek first the kingdom of God
and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you.
34 (Mt 6:25) Therefore, take no thought about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will take thought about the things of itself.
Sufficient to the day is the trouble thereof.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Quebec
Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec
Quebec 2015 population 8214 000
est Muslim Population 418946
CNMM Networks: Montreal
There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering
os Muslims scattered aound the rest of the province, yet the vast majority
of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim
population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone
African Muslims are atrracted to La Belle Provence.
And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more
Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.
This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches
and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small
by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that
is often either indifferent to releigion or resistant to it. And now
this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly
or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br
easy for Christians to feel overwhlem by this cultural double-whammy,
yet God has alsways worked miracles through the small, the few.
Agree in prayer for :
- Te people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel
- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding
-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting
together for worship!
- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for
reaching Muslims in Quebec.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .
