After King David died, his son Solomon was ordained the next king, and David had asked him to fulfil his duty of building a temple for theBible-god. I had conjectured that the Tabernacle was a place for the Bible-god to eat of the burnt offerings of Israel. So I checked the details concerning the Temple of Solomon, and noticed that it was like a copy of the Tabernacle. The details of the temple is so stunning that it must have been like our present day building blueprint.
Some of the things in the Temple included:
Movable Stands (Dining Tables?)
I Kings 7
27 He also made ten movable stands of bronze; each was four cubits long, four wide and three high. 28 This is how the stands were made: They had side panels attached to uprights. 29 On the panels between the uprights were lions, bulls and cherubim—and on the uprights as well. Above and below the lions and bulls were wreaths of hammered work. 30 Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and each had a basin resting on four supports, cast with wreaths on each side. 31 On the inside of the stand there was an opening that had a circular frame one cubit deep. This opening was round, and with its basework it measured a cubit and a half. Around its opening there was engraving. The panels of the stands were square, not round. 32 The four wheels were under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand. The diameter of each wheel was a cubit and a half. 33 The wheels were made like chariot wheels; the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were all of cast metal.
Why ten stands? Were there ten aliens involved? Then why basins? Was it for them to wash their hands?
Baths, Bowls, Shovels
38 He then made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths and measuring four cubits across, one basin to go on each of the ten stands. 39 He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north. He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple. 40 He also made the basins and shovels and sprinkling bowls.
Why would a god need basins, shovels, sprinkling bowls? Read on...
48 Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in the LORD's temple:
the golden altar;
the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence;
49 the lampstands of pure gold (five on the right and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary the gold floral work and lamps and tongs;
50 the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes and censers; and the gold sockets for the doors of the innermost room, the Most Holy Place, and also for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
51 When all the work King Solomon had done for the temple of the LORD was finished, he brought in the things his father David had dedicated—the silver and gold and the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the LORD's temple.
All those items were made either of gold or bronze. Why the preference for them?
The Cloud
Later the Bible-god came to the temple, again in the form of a cloud. But no fire or thunder. Maybe their technology had progressed to the point where the spaceship could land without fire and noise? And, why is it that the priests could not perform their duties because of the cloud?
I Kings 8
10 When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the LORD. 11 And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled his temple.
So the Bible-god need a place to dwell in, needs bowls, basins, burnt offeirngs, etc.
