SOLOMON'S MOLTEN SEA
The Tabernacles
In the OT there are 3 tabernacles, each of which stood for different stages in God’s Kingdom and purposes:
1. Moses Tabernacle represents the law age. This tabernacle together with the law to which man could not attain, found its end on the Mount of Gilgal. This is where Israel spent the first night after crossing the Jordan.
2. David’s Tabernacle which represents the Church day. David took the Ark which represented God’s presence, from Gilgal and brought it to Zion. The Glorious realm of Zion and all that David introduced is the type of the Church which Acts 15 talks of. David found salvation and was a prophet. Jesus built much on the foundation of David, and of course we know of “The Sure Mercies of David”, and the “Key of David”. All too much to mention here.
3. Solomon’s Temple which represents the Kingdom Day of Jesus. Towards the end of his life, David realized that all that he had done was for man, which is what the Church Day is for. He wanted to build a temple for The Lord, but God was going to do a new thing with a new man. So David’s son Solomon was anointed to establish a new day with its Glorious Temple. However God gave David the blueprints for the Temple which he handed on the Solomon. So we see here the pattern of the Church handing over to a new order of priesthood, the order of the Kingdom Day of Jesus. I believe this new priesthood to be the Rev 12 Sons of God hidden in the womb of the Church. God promised this Melchizedek line to David.
This message is based on Solomon’s Temple, the Third Tabernacle, the Third Day of Jesus.
The first two tabernacles had three realms and contained items which all had Kingdom meaning. These were in Solomon’s Temple,
BUT!
Solomon Introduced Something That Didn’t Appear In the Earlier Tabernacles!
It was
The Molten Sea
We find about this in 1 Kings 7:23, and 2 Chron. 4:2
These scriptures describe a large molten bronze bowl which held 3000 baths of water, which is 66,000 litres which would have come from Solomon’s pools.
It was 7.5 feet high, 15 feet wide, and 45 feet circumference. It had a brim of about 5 inches which was engraved with the lily.
It sat on the backs of 12 brazen oxen in groups of 3 each facing the compass points.
It stood between the altar and the Temple.
This is an artist’s impression:
Like me, you may have started to see the significance here. These are glorious, and they relate to the Kingdom Day. I won’t expand on them here, but they are mysteries to be seen.
The earlier Tabernacle had a smaller water laver in which the priest would wash prior to entering in to the courts, but it didn’t have the Molten Sea. Why was this? Well God didn’t get it wrong, but He had a further purpose for the Kingdom Day.
In 2 Chron 4:6 we are told that Solomon had ten lavers for other washings, but that
THE SEA WAS FOR THE PRIESTS TO WASH IN
I believe that this further washing is for the cleansing of the Kingdom Day Priesthood from the fallen human nature into the Glorious immortal image of Jesus.
At the transfiguration, we are shown that the natural form of Jesus would change into an immortal glorified person. In the Molten Sea there is a Deep calling unto Deep to a Priesthood who would be transfigured into the Divine image of Jesus. All Glory to Jesus.
Beloved, there is a deeper water for washing. There is a washing of the Water of The Word reserved in the Secret place for those who have heard the call to the Third Feast, the Feast of Tabernacles. There were three main feasts:
Passover ~ representing salvation in Jesus, the first realm…… the 30 fold realm
Pentecost ~ representing Holy Ghost Baptism, the second realm……
the 60 fold realm
Tabernacles ~ representing the Glory of Jesus, the third realm…… the
one hundred fold realm. His Secret Place.
Now – The Feast of Tabernacles was divided into 3 smaller Feasts:
*The Feast of Trumpets ……. Where you hear the call to the Feast of
Tabernacles
*The Feast of Atonement …..This is the cleansing which we see at the
Molten Sea. It precedes-
*The Feast of Glory….. The Kingdom Day of Jesus.
So we have a response to the call, a second washing into His Divine Nature and perfection, and a ministering in His Day.
I want to share a deeper revelation of the Temple Sea.
One of the great acts of God at creation was controlling the chaos. Gen 1:9 …. The waters were gathered together into one place and land appeared. Job 38:8 He closed the sea with doors.
I see signified in the Temple Sea, another creative act of God at the start of the Kingdom Day, where world chaos is brought into order, and a Priesthood who partake in this deep washing.
In Rev 21:1 we see that in the new Heaven and earth there is no more sea. The new sea in Rev 15:2 is the Sea of Glass mingled with fire on which stand the overcomers with the harps of God.
At the start of the Kingdom Day of Jesus, the chaos of the world will be overcome by the precepts of The Kingdom, and I see that the Molten Sea is a symbol to this.
At creation, the firmament of heaven was above the waters. Gen 1:20 – birds aircraft, inhabit the open firmament of heaven. “Firmament” simply means expanse of heavens. There is an open firmament first heaven, there is a second heaven which is where the stars, planets etc are, and there is God’s Third Heaven where His throne is. This is the Third Heaven I believe where Paul was taken.
Now – back at the Molten Sea, we saw that it was placed at the entrance to the Temple of God’s presence. I believe that it signifies an existence of sea between the second and third heavens which signifies the washing by Jesus to enter in there. But inside, there is no sea, only the sea of glass, where everything is transparent.
(As a matter of interest, I asked God one day where the waters from the Noah flood went? They had to go somewhere. If the water just evaporated, clouds would have formed and the cycle of rains repeated, and we know this didn’t happen.
I felt God say to me that He removed them out beyond the heavens, which I believed to be the first 2 heavens. This meant that they would be placed between the second and third heavens. When I started to understand the mystery of the Molten Sea, I began to see a picture.
I was excited when I read some time after that, that astronomers had discovered an unexplained mass of water out beyond space.)
I have sought to share here, the secret of the Molten Sea and what it means in the Kingdom. God has a purpose in all things, and He speaks to us in forms and symbols.
Beloved there is a second washing for the Kingdom Priesthood who minister in Solomon’s temple. Only these Priests will see this and they will run to the Sea for the Cleansing unto perfection.
Do you see this? Do you believe it? I didn’t know of it until Holy Spirit showed it to me, and I share it with the hearts prepared to receive.
I pray that this Word will bring a deeper understanding of the Kingdom of Jesus.
It’s not doctrine – simply revelation of His Kingdom truths.
“Hear My Word saith Jesus The Word. It will not return to Me void of it having settled in the hearts of My Sons, and having fed with the food of Angels. The Kingdom given of My Father is a Day of Glory and I send out invitations to a great feast of atonement which will be a feast for the fullness of your salvation which began when you accepted Me as your Savior. I will not delay for your consideration. If you hear My call run to this feast for the doors are open. If you reject you will forsake your calling. There are sheep that hear my voice. Seek My Face and you will understand”.
All Glory to Jesus,
Larry Wilson.
