PREFACEA baffling question comes to mind about Solomon’sTemple and the two pillars standing on each side of theentrance into The Temple of God. Two columns standat the entrance to The Holy Place. They do not seemto support anything attached to The Temple. What dothey stand for and what do they mean? Read the purpose of this building with its courts, “Then verily thefirst covenant had also ordinances [meanings of Law] ofdivine service and a worldly sanctuary” (Hebrews 9:1).This is a very prophetic description. The scripture reveals this house is a divine house – a Holy House witha Holy purpose. The House of God on earth is earthlyand not God’s Heavenly House (spiritual). This Temple is surrounded by courts for the people to assemble(both Israelites and Gentiles) to worship God. As Jesussaid, this house is for all the people. Why are there twopillars in front of The House of God? What do theymean? The Bible states one pillar’s name is Jachinand the other, Boaz.You are about to discover a prophecy which affects theentire world. This book is entirely free and no moneyis accepted.

INTRODUCTIONThe Temple was built by King David’s son, Solomon.David defeated Goliath by showing his faith in God.When you compare David to Goliath, physically, youwould have seen a young man facing a giant. Davidshould have been frightened like The Israelites hadbeen before him. Instead, David was determined, infaith, that God would defeat Goliath when he facedhim. God won David’s battle against Goliath. Davidhad a right heart and, implicitly, trusted God withoutexception. David was not perfect and was extremelyweak in the flesh. He committed murder and adultery.He was extremely faithful, but a sinner like everyoneelse. Because David was a bloody man (one who hadmany battles and wars), God did not allow him to buildThe Earthly House of God. The House of God was tobe a Holy place of peace.With David’s great faith in God, he had a heart likeGod. David knew he was a sinner but he, also, knewGod could change him, no matter how bad his humannature really was. Read David’s repentance in Psalm51. David showed great humility when he was shownhis sins. He trusted God to forgive him. David knewGod could make him change through God’s HolySpirit (Psalm 51:10,14).Solomon followed his father’s example with hundredsof wives and a thousand concubines. Solomon, however, prayed to God for wisdom to rule The Peopleof God wisely. (Request the free book, The Wisdom ofJesus and Solomon).Solomon was given physical wisdom to keep the peace,ix
and gave prosperity for The People of God. BecauseSolomon was a man of peace, God allowed Solomon tobuild The Temple. Being a wise man, this temple wasbuilt exactly as God ordained – a house of peace, prosperity and righteousness. God’s entire Plan of Salvation was depicted (as a symbol) in each piece of thetemple with its courts. God knows your weaknessesand your heart. He knows your real desires, hopes,fears and wishes. Only God knows your strengths andweaknesses and has the ability to change you. You always have free choice to choose God or not.The Holy of Holies is where The Glory of God andall its goodness would dwell. God’s presence issuedmercy from The Ark of The Covenant. It was basedupon The Ten Commandments. Animal sacrifice wasoffered according to their sins, everything from an oxto a goat or a lamb was offered to receive forgiveness.(Request the free book, Discovering God, for details ofanimal sacrifice).Animal sacrifice never pleased God. It never gave Godany pleasure (Hebrews 10:5-6). The offering of animalsacrifice merely revealed the behavior of the sinner.The animal represented the exact type of animal behavior the sin represents. The sinner, offering the appropriate animal acknowledged what type of sin wasdisplayed. All functions, as well as parts of the temple,manifested a divine purpose as prophecy predicted.This is how God will make you in His image.FROM THE BEGINNINGWhen God created The Heavens and The Earth Hedid so for a very Holy purpose. Psalm 24:1-4 revealsx
that all the heavens and the whole earth and everything on it belongs to God. He created everything onHis property. The purpose of God creating the physical universe was to make man in God’s image so everyone will, eventually, dwell in That Holy House ofGod or have access to it. The temple built by Solomonrepresented this point. It is a prophecy of how Godmakes His whole creation as perfect or Holy as He is(Romans 8:19-22). It is time for The Word of God, TheBible, to open your mind to all the prophetic meanings God wants you to understand, this includes thetwo columns in front of the entrance to The Temple ofGod’s House.xi
Chapter 1FROM HEAVEN TO EARTHIn the beginning, God created The Heavensand The Earth. God reveals the earth andeverything on it belongs to Him. Then, Hewrites, the reason He created the earth,“Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?Or who shall stand in his holy place? Hethat has clean hands and a pure heart; whohas not lifted up his soul [life] to vanity,nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive theblessing from the Lord and righteousnessfrom the God of his salvation” (Psalm 24:35).ASCENDING TO GOD’S HOUSEDavid spells out the entire Gospel of God. God informs you the heavens would be brought to the earthand one day everyone would dwell there. At that time,you will be made in His image (Genesis 1:26).To become like God, you must ascend His hill to dwellin His Holy House and be in His presence. To beable to step into His temple you must become Holylike Him. God will do this work, and not you, or anyother individual. God’s purpose is to bring heaven tothe earth. The New Heaven and The New Earth willbe His dwelling place. Remember a song with these
2SOLOMON’S TEMPLE PILLARSwords – “heaven on earth.” Revelation 21:1-3 clearlyshows that God with Christ is building His heavenlyhouse (John 14). Presently, this physical earth is God’sSchool House, where God teaches everyone how to bein His “image.” (Request the free book, God’s School).Paul describes this heavenly city as New Jerusalem,which will come down from heaven (Galatians 4:25-26).WHAT IS A PILLAR?In Hebrew and Greek “a pillar” simply means “asupport,” or “something that upholds.” A support is“an ideology” or “a philosophy of what one believes.”When a person is included to be part of a pillar, itdeclares that person’s faith. They are “the believers”who do all they can to witness their “philosophy” asthe truth. “Pillars” are “the principle supporters of theway to life.”When The Apostle Paul visited those in Jerusalem, hesaid, “And when James, Cephas [Peter] and John, whoseemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was givento me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands offellowship; that we should go to the heathen [Gentiles]and they to the circumcision” (Galatians 2:9). James,Peter and John were called by Paul, as those upholding, or supporting Jesus to be the pillars of Christianity. Christ was the foundational stone of The Templeof The New Spiritual House of God (I Corinthians 3:11).Pillars in The Temple represent Christians, and TheMessianic Jews, who are faithful in spiritually worshipping God (John 4:23-24). Now, you can see the
FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH3meanings in Hebrew and Greek for “pillar,” and alsoThe Apostle Paul’s example of a pillar supporting exactly what the temple represents.In the beginning, God was The Only One who intendedto build His Holy House, and make those who dweltwith Him to become Holy. But you are also to be a Sonof God, so you can be in His image. At this time, Godrepresented the pillar from the heavens to the earth.TOWER OF BABELAt The Tower of Babel, the truth of The Messiah wasknown and preached by The Prophets of Old. Eventhe angels wondered when The Spirit of Christ wouldcome in the flesh. Enoch, The Seventh Prophet fromGod, proclaims the coming of The Messiah (Jude 14).Those at The Tower of Babel knew The True God andfrom The Prophets knew His purpose (Romans 1:2125). The problem was, they changed the truth of TheGospel to worshipping the creation instead of The Creator. At The Tower of Babel there were humans usingtheir physical effort to reach heaven. They built thisHouse on the top of the hill having a circular stairwayascending the hill to the top (Psalm 24).“The hill,” with God’s Holy House on top, was calleda “Ziggurat” in the language of The Sumerians. ThisZiggurat in Hebrew is called “babel” and is derivedfrom two meanings: “Bab” from “gate” and “El God,”or “babel” in Hebrew, and “babil” meant “The Gateto God’s Holy House.” The Babylonians in Sumeriafrom The Land of Shinar, knew the tower represented
4SOLOMON’S TEMPLE PILLARSa column to heaven as a pillar attempting to bring theheavens to the earth (Psalm 24).Initially, The House of God did not have two pillars infront of it, but only one denoting God as “the pillar toheaven.” This is The Only One who can bring what isbeing created to the earth. You will discover there isan important purpose (prophetically) represented bythe two pillars. The two pillars could not exist, untilthere are to be two groups who will be entering God’sHoly House.
Chapter 2WORLDWIDE WICKEDNESSInstead of increasing the search for TheOne True God at The Tower of Babel, allthe inhabitants began to worship “thecreation” as gods. Most took an easierway to honor God with their man-madeideas of worshipping plants, trees, rivers,mountains, and the stars (Romans 1:25).Those who did not repent began to worshipThe Tower of Babel, itself, instead ofGod. God knew what the outcome wouldbe (chaos and violence), so He decided toconfuse their language and create differentdialects (Romans 1:20 and Genesis 11:67). God knew they needed more time tounderstand His “plan” for all His children.Those, with a wrong heart were groupedtogether with those that could understand.PROPHECY AND WICKEDNESSZechariah, God’s prophet, foretells the outcome ofthis false system of worship. He prophesies about seeing a flying roll which covers the entire earth, “Thensaid he to me, This is the curse that goes forth over theface of the whole earth: for every one that steals shallbe cut off as on this side according to it; and every onethat swears shall be cut off as on that side according
6SOLOMON’S TEMPLE PILLARSto it. I will bring it forth, said the Lord of hosts and itshall enter into the house of the thief and into the houseof him that swears falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume itwith the timber thereof and the stones thereof” (Zechariah 5:3-4).This prophecy began at The Tower of Babel. ThisTower which attempted to reach the heaven was tosymbolize “a pillar of support” from God to the wholeearth. This Ziggurat was a pillar showing the way toThe Holy House of God and a gateway to enter if aperson had clean hands and a clean heart. If anyonefalsely worshipped, or spoke against God, they wouldbe cursed. If this house, with its pathway up God’sHoly Hill was desecrated, in any way, those who weredoing the corrupting would be destroyed. The entireZiggurat, as a place of worship, would be removed.This curse applied to every false and corrupt way ofworshipping God.No matter how well-meaning humans may be, God mustalways be worshipped in truth. And God reveals howyou should worship Him. You should never take Hisname in vain (no purpose). Using God as your “sometime” authority, which inevitably leads you away fromthe truth, “holding the truth in an unrighteous way”(Romans 1:18). God’s wrath is unleashed on everyperson who decides for themselves how God shouldbe worshipped. A false prophet, or preacher, who proclaims he only has the truth, misleads people from TheOne True Father and will be cursed. This, also, includes the people who follow these false prophets and
WORLDWIDE WICKEDNESS7preachers. This is a guarantee that the preacher andthe congregation will be destroyed. Their house ofworship and their entire system will fall.THE WORLD’S FALSE RELIGIONZechariah continues his prophecy in describing howthe world’s curse would continue and grow. By confusing their languages, God delayed their corruptionand gave them time to worship Him in truth.Once the nations were divided, God went further bygeologically separating them. In The Days of Peleg,God physically separated mankind, so confusionwould not continue. God only wants the best for you.He divided races and nations on different continents(Genesis 10:25). Each group of people could seek Godaccording to their free choice, if they so desired. Otherwise, they would fall victim to corruption, as theydid in The Days of Peleg.The path to destruction and God’s wrath, is revealedin Zechariah 5. The scroll was a large book whichwas written on two sides like most scrolls of old. Thisscroll was a book describing all the cursed in the world,who were destroyed because of their worship system.Those not misusing the truth (only those seeking thetruth in faith) were to be blessed.The angel said to Zechariah, further, “And I said,What is it? And he said, This is an ephah [called wickedness] that goes forth. He said moreover, This is theirresemblance through all the earth. And, behold, there
8SOLOMON’S TEMPLE PILLARSwas lifted up a talent of lead [enormously heavy]: andthis is a woman that sits in the midst of the ephah. Andhe said, This [woman] is wickedness. And he cast it intothe midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of leadupon the mouth thereof. Then lifted I up mine eyesand looked and, behold, there came out two women andthe wind was in their wings; for they had wings like thewings of a stork [having children]: and they lifted up theephah [wickedness] between the earth and the heaven[a pillar]” (Zechariah 5:6-9).Zechariah explains how this curse will spread throughout the entire world. An “ephah” is also “a weight ofone omer of wheat” – a weight of food, which means tofeed and nourish. A woman adds greater burden, orweight, to “the ephah” (later, another woman will addmore weight). This added weight consists of “lead” andthis substance has very little value; it merely increasesthe burden of this wickedness, creating more evilness,in an attempt to infiltrate more and more Christians.These two women describe two different types of people, continually, promoting truth – but in an unrighteous way. One woman is the pre-flood woman and theother is a post-flood woman – historically speaking. Thepre-flood woman was Eve worshipped as The Queen ofHeaven. After the flood she was called “Ishtar.” Inthe language of Egypt she was called “Isis” in postflood time. Now, all you need to know is where andwhen this curse began, “Then said I to the angel thattalked with me, Where do these bear the ephah? And hesaid to me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar:and it shall be established and set there upon her own
WORLDWIDE WICKEDNESS9base” (Zechariah 5:10-11). This is very clear! If youpray and study you too can put the entire prophecytogether. This curse (on the whole world) was startedat The Tower of Babel in The Land of Shinar. Nimrodwas the first world ruler from Babel, “And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and in the land of Shinar there was Erech and Accad and Calneh” (Genesis10:10). This world curse had its beginning from TheLand of Shinar in Babel. The Tower of Babel was thegenesis of false religions, philosophy, and belief, whichis on-going to this very day. The world’s religion andeducational systems are a mixture of good and evil, because they follow God’s truth in an “unrighteous way.”This curse started and ended with Eve, when she atefrom the wrong tree. She was The Queen of Heaven(The Mother of All Living) (Galatians 4:26). Eve wantedto promote “thinking,” which promotes whatever you,personally, want to do at any given time. And God allows you that “right.” That is why she ate from TheTree of Good and Evil. After the flood, God had tobaptise, or put to death the entire world, except Noahand his family. If He had not done this, the peoplebecame so violent they would have killed each other.(Request the free book, Origin of Baptism). In The Landof Shinar they were headed in the same direction asthe pre-flood people. After the flood, Ishtar (Easter)was a goddess of fertility, laying many eggs like a rabbit. The stork was busy multiplying mankind to followtheir Queen of Heaven, “Isis.” Every time mankindforsakes The Tree of Life, and chooses to learn goodfrom evil on their own, they are headed for Babylon.What is Babylon? You will be surprised to learn whatBabylon stands for.
Chapter 3WHAT IS BABYLON?All religions, philosophies and ideologiesof the world, had their beginnings at TheTower of Babel. The problem stemmedfrom knowing The Truth of God and, then,misapplying the administration of thattruth. They worshipped the creation ratherthan The Creator. Why does human nature,even when knowing better, go astray intosome form of Babylon?BABYLON – A GREAT CITYIn prophecy, Babylon represents a Great Whore, whichconfuses the world, much like causing them to be in adrunken stupor (Revelation 18:3). Prophetically, thiswhore misleads people from The True God, “And thewoman which you saw is that great city, which reignsover the kings of the earth” (Revelation 17:18). Thiscity involves all the rulers of the whole world. Whatcity could this be?It is not that all kings rule from this city, but it influences enough humans, which, in turn, involves therest of the world. It is the importance of this city,affecting human prosperity, which creates Babylon –The Great, “For all nations have drunk of the wine ofthe wrath of her fornication and the kings of the earth
12SOLOMON’S TEMPLE PILLARShave committed fornication [worshipped] with her andthe merchants of the earth are waxed rich through theabundance of her delicacies” (Revelation 18:3). Thiscity is not only a dominant worldwide religious center, but the “religions” and “holy days” promote commerce. That is why all the merchants and businessesdelight in her delicacies (this includes religious churcheswho profit but also non-Christian who profit from sellingreligions articles). Jesus warns Christians to come outof this system (Revelation 18:4). Starting in The Landof Shinar, at The Tower of Babylon, The Great Whore,is the curse and causes the wickedness that covers theentire earth.THREE BABYLONSAmazingly, The Bible writes, there are three citieswhich fulfill the requirements of this great city, whichis worshipped. Remember, the world shows reverenceto this city, not only because of its religion, but for thebusiness and profit they can gleam from them.The first Babylon was situated in The Land of Shinarat The Tower of Babel. This Babylon was reverencedfor its religion and commerce. Daniel 2 tells how NeoBabylon fell, was conquered by Media-Persia, andforetells the rest of world history until The Return ofJesus, “These [this final city of Babylon] shall make warwith the Lamb [Christ] and the Lamb shall overcomethem: for he is Lord [Master] of lords [masters] andKing of kings: and they that are with him are called andchosen and faithful” (Revelation 17:14). Very clearly,The Bible reveals where this final city is located.
WHAT IS BABYLON?13Babylon will fight Christ at His coming and is defeatedby Jesus, “Behold, the day of the Lord comes and yourspoil shall be divided in the midst of you. For I willgather all nations [the world] against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken and the houses rifledand the women ravished; and half of the city shall goforth into captivity and the residue of the people shallnot be cut off from the city. Then shall the Lord goforth and fight against those nations as when he foughtin the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in thatday upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east and the mount of Olives shall cleave inthe midst thereof toward the east and toward the westand there shall be a very great valley; and half of themountain shall remove toward the north and half of ittoward the south. And you shall flee to the valley of themountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reachto Azal: yea, you shall flee, like as you fled from beforethe earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:and the Lord my God shall come and all the saints withyou. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the lightshall not be clear, nor dark: But it shall be one daywhich shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night:but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall belight. And it shall be in that day, that living waters shallgo out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the formersea and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summerand in winter shall it be. And the Lord shall be kingover all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lordand his name one” (Zechariah 14:1-9).God’s word, prophetically, agrees (Revelation 17 andZechariah 14). The last Babylon is Jerusalem, who has
14SOLOMON’S TEMPLE PILLARSthe three major religions, Jewish, Islam and Christianity, profiting commercially. Christ tells His people, in these three religions, to come out of this “finalBabylon” and its world-wide system of commercialprosperity. This woman, Jerusalem, is responsible forthe martyrdom of God’s saints (Revelation 17:6). So,where is this city?During “The End Time,” this city will be burned anddestroyed by fire and earthquakes. The kings of theearth will cry and have great sorrow over its destruction (Revelation 18:8-18). At The End of Days, whenChrist returns, He will build a new temple. This willbe the catalyst for the entire world to prosper economically. Her Holy Days were more than a religion, but affected the economics of the entire earth commercially.An angel announces to John the judgment of TheGreat Whore, sits religiously over many nations,“Come hither; I will show to you the judgment of thegreat whore that sits upon many waters” (Revelation17:1). This city was the cause of the blood of the saintswho faithfully, followed Jesus. This great city ruledover the nations of the earth.Only one city in world history meets all these Biblical requirements. This city was the original Babylon.The cursed world and its wickedness covered all theworld (The Tower of Babel). The second Babylon was“neo” or “new Babylon” under Nebuchadnezzar. Thethird City of Babylon will take place, when The Messiah overtakes this city at His return. The city will bedivided into three parts (Revelation 16:19). God calls
WHAT IS BABYLON?15this city “Sodom and Gomorrah and Egypt,” where TheLord Jesus was slain.ZECHARIAH’S PROPHECYThis Great City has the three major religions representing the whole world. The merchants of the worldneed these religions to prosper. The whole earth religiously follows these three faiths. The economic system of the world needs this city to continue to take inthe riches, “Behold, the day of the Lord comes and yourspoil [robbery] shall be divided in the middle of you”(Zechariah 14:1). Who is this Great Whore representing a city? Read again, Zechariah 14:2-4, in whichthis city is literally divided.What is Babylon? It is “human nature,” with each person “imagining whatever they think is right or good.”But their conclusions are only a guess (Genesis 11:67). Those who become powerful, as beasts, conquer allthe world, as at The Tower of Babel, Neo-Babylon andJerusalem. God had to exile Adam and Eve from TheGarden, so they would not have access to The Tree ofLife. In Noah’s day, the world was filled with violence,and God baptised them by the flood, so they would notcommit genocide. Jesus informs this third Babylon –Jerusalem – it will be like The Days of Noah (Matthew24:38). Because of His people’s human nature (Babylon), God pleads with them to change their ways. Godtells the people that if no change occurs, they will receive The Mark of The Beast (lion, bear or leopard).These animals are the most vicious, and wicked of allbeasts, consuming the entire world.
Chapter 4GOD’S METHOD OF TEACHINGGod wanted His people to come out ofBabylon. “Babylon” is “human nature”lingering in every individual, left tothemselves without God’s teaching.Humans cannot know right from wrong withtheir own limited understanding. Only byexperiencing life with all its pitfalls, do youslowly start to tell the difference betweengood and evil.DEPENDS UPON YOUR HEARTSTo be teachable and willing to learn is everyone’s individual decision. No church, or group, can determinewhen a person thirsts to gain truthful knowledge. Itis a matter of your heart. Why the heart? The heartpumps all the life-saving blood to every cell in yourbody. The heart keeps you alive. God uses physical comparisons for you to grasp spiritual meanings.Your heart, spiritually, is predicated upon your heart’sdesire. Your desires motivate your life’s path and purposes. Your desires can make your life worth living.That is the state of a person’s heart (Proverbs 18:1-4).If anything in your human life is more important thanChrist and The Kingdom of God – you are worshipping an idol. (Request the free book, What Is Idolatry).
18SOLOMON’S TEMPLE PILLARSAn idol will stand in your way of righteously worshipping God. Too many prefer to worship many falseidols. Of course, when you have a right heart, Godand Jesus will come first – before anything else. Whenyour heart is like God, you are ready to be taught.It will be a time when you are willing to learn as alittle child. That is why repentance is the first step.It means you are willing to have a change of mind,and you want to think like God. Only God knows atrue heart. He observes your false idols and when youare repentant, He is always ready to forgive you, andbe only too happy to help you with truthful teachingsfrom The Word of God – The Bible. The amazing reality about God, because He loves you, is that He willalter His way of teaching each person – individually.Everyone thinks differently and therefore, God variesHis methodology of teaching. Remember, everyone isat a different level of understanding. Everyone is different from everyone else. This is because everyonehas a personal “idol.”Churches and groups become too dogmatic, with theirdoctrines and teachings, to be able to reach everymember in their group. God teaches by free choiceand only commands or demands, when there is no otherway to get you to learn. This is called a covenant, butyou always have free choice to obey, or not.WHAT IS FREE CHOICE?Liberty and free choice are inseparable. You were bornin bondage (slavery) and must struggle to survive,even to the death (Romans 8). Life is a losing battle –
GOD’S METHOD OF TEACHING19ending in death. Solomon calls it “vanity.” Mankindwas born in slavery until God, through Christ, willgive you Salvation (John 5:21). “Liberty” defines “freechoice” – doing whatever you want or choose to do.“Eleutheria” is “liberty” in Greek. “Liberty” means“to be completely unrestrained.”There will be no limitations, to whatever you desire,to do. In The Kingdom of God, you will only desire todo what will be good for you and everyone else. Thehuman nature you were born with makes you desireto survive at all costs. You do not realize you are inBabylon and are n
