**the house of the Lord**
The typology of the temple, if indeed it has any typical significance, is most obscure and difficult. The N.T. invariably expounds the typology of the tabernacle, not of the temple. The symbolism of the latter may be revealed in the kingdom-age (see "Kingdom" O.T., *(See Scofield "**")* See Scofield "" N.T., ; [Luke 1:32](../../../kjv/luke/1/32); [1 Corinthians 15:28](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/15/28). In the N.T. the usual Gk. word for sanctuary (naos) is used
(1) of the temple in Jerusalem [Matthew 23:16](../../../kjv/matthew/23/16).
(2) of the believer's body [1 Corinthians 3:16](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/3/16); [1 Corinthians 3:17](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/3/17); [1 Corinthians 6:19](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/6/19)
(3) of the local church [2 Corinthians 6:16](../../../kjv/2-corinthians/6/16) and
(4) of the true church [Ephesians 2:21](../../../kjv/ephesians/2/21) But in all these instances the thought is simply of a habitation of God. No reference to the structure of the temple, as in the case of the tabernacle [Hebrews 9:1-39](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/1-39).
**Zif**
Second month, i.e. May.

**windows of narrow lights**
Cf. [2 Chronicles 4:20](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/4/20). In the holy of holies in the tabernacle no light but the shekinah glory was provided. In many ways Solomon's temple manifests the spiritual deterioration of the people, and Jehovah's condescension to it in grace.

**they stretched forth** Or, the cherubim stretched forth their wings.

**Zif**
Second month, i.e. May.

**Bul**
Eighth month i.e. November.
