- Chapter 1,358 King Solomon
"What house are you going to build me?" Putting the Ark of the Covenant into Solomon's Temple must have happened around 955 BC. This is how it is described in the Old Testament: 1 Kings
The Bible says that Solomon later let his heart "go after other gods" and worshiped "Astartes, the goddess of the Sidonians" and "Melecum, the abominable god of the Ammonites" with special zeal.
Although it is said that Solomon's wisdom exceeded "all the wisdom of the Egyptians," considering Solomon's apostate tendencies, it is difficult for scholars to believe that this wise king ever had a high respect for Jehovah." Fastest update, full text hand-typing
For the same reason, some scholars also believe that Solomon expressed doubts about the ability of the temple to "place" the Ark of the Covenant. This was not a prayer to the omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent God of the Israelites.
On the contrary, according to scholars, these strange words of Solomon are actually expressing a real concern, a concern that is pragmatic rather than illusory.
Even if the Ark of the Covenant is now firmly fixed on the "cornerstone of the world", won't it suddenly get out of control?
Aren¡¯t the unpredictable energies trapped within the Ark still powerful and dangerous enough to break through the darkness of the inner sanctum and destroy the huge ¡°dwelling¡± built around it? ""

It seems that Solomon¡¯s Temple is not like a temple built for a god on earth, but more like some kind of prison built for the Ark of the Covenant. This explanation has practical significance.
In the inner sanctum of the temple, above the winged angels facing each other at either end of the golden cover of the Ark of the Covenant, Solomon had placed two other huge statues of winged angels. They were actually formidable guardians, with their wings spread at least fifteen feet apart. , and they are all gold-plated
At the same time, the inner temple itself is a perfect cube and an extremely strong right cube. The Bible also clearly states that the inner temple was built to "place the ark of the covenant of the Lord."
The inner hall is 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high. Its ground ceiling and four walls are riveted with fine gold plates with gold nails. It is estimated that the total weight of gold is 45,000 pounds.
Converted to the current mass unit, it is about 20 tons of gold
Solomon¡¯s Catholic Chinese translation is Solomon, and the Arabic name is Suleiman. According to the records of the Hebrew Bible, he was a generation of emperors in Jerusalem, Israel. Later, in the Koran, he was called a prophet.
According to the records of the Hebrew Bible, King Solomon was the son of David and Bathsheba, the third monarch of the Kingdom of Israel, and the last monarch before the separation of the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah.
According to the Bible, King Solomon was the builder of the first temple in Jerusalem and had superhuman wisdom, a lot of wealth and supreme power.
But in the end, due to King Solomon¡¯s sins, including worshiping evil gods and betraying God¡¯s will, the kingdom was divided during the reign of his son Rehoboam. King Solomon was also the protagonist of many documents and legends in later generations.
In order to fulfill King David's last words to King Solomon, King Solomon killed David's general Joab because Joab had murdered Abner and Amasa during peacetime.
King David's high priest Abiathar was exiled by King Solomon because he had supported King Solomon's rival Adonijah. Abiathar was the hereditary high priest. His predecessor was Eli. important prophet
He was restricted to the city of Jerusalem, but three years later he was killed while traveling to Gath to retrieve some runaway servants. This may have been due to his rebellion against David's son Absalom. Because he cursed David
After getting rid of his half-mother Adonijah, King Solomon married an Egyptian princess during his reign from about 960 BC to 935 BC, and divided the combined country into 12 zombies and established a strict tax system.
It took him a lot of time to build a temple for the Lord and for himself. At the same time, he also accumulated a lot of wealth for himself and the country. Afterwards, Solomon realized that the things in this world are useless labor, because all these will be left to future generations. People, but I don¡¯t know whether those descendants can manage the wealth they left behind. Thinking of this, I feel that hard work is of little value.
One of King Solomon¡¯s qualities was his wisdom. King Solomon prayed: ¡°So please give me wisdom to judge your people, to distinguish right from wrong, otherwise who can judge this multitude of people?¡±
God said to him, ¡°Because you asked for wisdom, not for longevity or wealth for yourself, nor for the destruction of your enemies¡¯ lives, but for wisdom that discerns righteousness, I will grant you what you ask for.¡±
The Bible also records: ¡°Kings from all over the world came to see King Solomon and wanted to hear the wisdom God gave to King Solomon.¡±
There was a man named Solomon?The story of the trial, in which the mothers of two newborns brought a baby boy to King Solomon and asked him to decide who was the real mother of the child.
There was a mother whose child died one night. Both mothers said that the still living child was theirs. When King Solomon suggested that the living child should be split in two and each mother get one half, the boy's real mother said She was willing to give up the child, while the other said: "This child is neither mine nor yours, so chop him up!"
King Solomon immediately declared that the mother who was willing to give up the child was the child's true mother and returned the child to her
The Bible describes in a brief passage how King Solomon's reputation for wisdom and wealth was so widespread that the Queen of Sheba decided to go see King Solomon.
It is said that the queen brought many gifts when she went to see King Solomon, including gold, decorated with various rare gems used to decorate the temple, and some riddles
When King Solomon gave her everything she desired, she felt very satisfied and gave all the gifts she had brought to him.
Whether this passage simply describes King Solomon¡¯s wealth and wisdom from an outside perspective, or whether the Queen¡¯s meeting and her riddles have a more important meaning is now unexplained.
But this meeting with the Queen of Sheba has become the subject of many stories. Sheba is also known as a country that spans the Red Sea, Eritrea, Somalia, Ethiopia and Yemen, to the Arabian Felix District.
According to a Hebrew article, King Solomon often commanded all living things in the world to dance in front of him. This article said that God gave King Solomon the ability to control all living things.
But one day, King Solomon found that the hoopoe was missing, so King Solomon summoned the bird. The bird told King Solomon that it was looking for a new place.
The bird discovered a land located to the east. There was a lot of gold, silver and plants in that land. The ruler of that land was the Queen of Sheba. Later, the bird asked King Solomon to send it to invite the queen to King Solomon. court
In an Ethiopian article, the Queen of Sheba had a sexual relationship with King Solomon, but this passage is not mentioned in the Bible. The two gave birth to a child by the Aibella Creek in Hamasen Province, Eritrea.
The child was a boy who later became Manic I, King of Axum and founded the Abyssinian Empire, a Christian state that eventually ruled for over 2900 years until Haile Selassie I was overthrown in 1974 overthrow
It is said that Manic I was a devout Jew and received a replica of the Ark of the Covenant from King Solomon, however, the original Ark was converted and he and his mother returned with the real Ark of the Covenant Axum, and the Ark of the Covenant is still there to this day, guarded by a priest who has a lifelong mission to guard the Ark of the Covenant.
This family line and the Ark of the Covenant have been regarded by the Ethiopian monarchy as a proof of the legitimacy of the monarchy throughout the centuries. Overall, it is of great significance to Ethiopian culture. and lasting impact
But the Ethiopian government and the church rejected all requests to see the Ark of the Covenant. Some classical rabbis attacked King Solomon's character and claimed that the child should be that of Nebuchadnezzar II, who destroyed Solomon's temple 300 years later. ancestor
In order to avoid conflicts with neighboring countries and stabilize the country, Solomon married several princesses from powerful neighboring countries: Egypt, Moab, Hittite, East Ammon, and Phoenicia, and adhered to their respective religious beliefs.
So that there were altars of Asian and African pagan idols such as the fertility goddess Sun God in Solomon¡¯s harem. Compared with Judaism and Jehovah, which the Jews share the same belief in, Solomon¡¯s move obviously had apostasy tendencies.
In order to please his concubines, King Solomon even allowed them to build high altars on the mountain opposite Jerusalem to burn incense and offer sacrifices to their gods.
Although these measures made the concubine happy, the Bible records: ¡°The Lord was angry with Solomon because his heart turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who appeared to him twice. The Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded him not to follow other gods, but he did not obey the command of the Lord. Therefore the LORD said to him, "Because you have done this and have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I commanded you, I will take your kingdom away and give it to your officials."
¡°But because of David your father I will not do this as long as you live, and I will take the kingdom out of the hand of your son. But I will not take it back, because I will leave a tribe for you because of David my servant and Jerusalem, which I have chosen. son"
As a result, as soon as Solomon died, an open rebellion broke out. The direct cause was that the excessive taxes and corvees in Solomon's time split the unified kingdom into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.
?"I keep all the following things in mind to find out the truth behind all these things: It turns out that the righteous and wise men and their deeds are all in the hands of God. The world does not know all their previous love and hatred."
The above passage is recorded in the Book of Ecclesiastes. The evangelist said: "Vanity of vanities, vanity of vanities, all things are vanity."
Ecclesiastes is the fourth book of poetry and wisdom in the Old Testament. The content indicates that it was written by King Solomon, the son of David, and was written for the residents of Jerusalem at that time, because the name of the book itself means gathering.
Solomon's name is not specifically mentioned in the book, but there are several passages that clearly indicate that he was the author of the book. When the convener introduced himself, he pointed out that he was "the son of David" and "the leader of Israel in Jerusalem." king"
This applies only to Solomon because his successor in Jerusalem could only be king of Judah. ??Furthermore, the Gatherer also wrote: ¡°I received greater wisdom than all those who were before me in Jerusalem, and I had much experience in my heart. things of wisdom and knowledge¡±
This is consistent with the situation of Solomon. King Solomon published 3,000 proverbs and talked about the author's architectural plans, including building vineyards, irrigation systems, arranging male and female servants to accumulate gold and silver, and achieving many other achievements.
All this is a portrayal of Solomon. After witnessing Solomon's wisdom and prosperity, the Queen of Sheba said: "I was not told half of what I was told.".
duyidu.

The book states that the place where the writing was written was in Jerusalem, because the time when the Gatherer was king "in Jerusalem" and wrote should be before 1000 BC, during the 40 years of Solomon's reign, after he achieved all the achievements mentioned in the book , but before he committed the sin of idolatry, he had enjoyed great wealth and had a profound understanding of worldly affairs when he wrote the book.
The Ark of the Covenant, that square chamber filled with gold, is not the only feature of Solomon's temple that has attracted the attention of scholars. The lineage of the builders of the inner temple is also of interest. They were foreigners who were called to complete all the other metals Solomon needed. making of utensils
Solomon sent three men to Tyre and called Huram. He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali. He was a man of wisdom and skill, skilled in all kinds of bronze craftsmanship.
After seeing the above passage, many scholars immediately noticed the words "widow's son". Why is this? Because scholars know that almost the same words were used when the protagonist Parsifal was first mentioned in the "Holy Grail Saga": "The Son of a Widow."
Indeed, Chr¨¦tien de Troyer, the founder of the Holy Grail legend literary genre, and his successor Wolfram von Gebach, both used a lot of space to clearly say that Parsifal's mother was a widow.
So is this another strange coincidence?
Although it uses a lot of Chang Cheng's deceptive symbolism, the fictional pursuit of the Holy Grail still seems to be carefully set up, and its purpose is to use a code to express the real pursuit of the missing Ark of the Covenant.
This inference reminds many people of The Da Vinci Code
Therefore, scholars have concluded that whether it is the pursuit of the Holy Grail or the pursuit of the Ark of the Covenant, the Knights Templar are the protagonists. After this sect was destroyed in the 14th century, many of their traditions were endangered by Freemasonry.
Therefore, the "Huram of Tyre" who was summoned to Jerusalem by Solomon in the Bible was not only the son of a widow like Parsifal, but also a figure that the Freemasons valued very much.
They called Hulam "Hulam Abif" and mentioned him in all their most important ceremonies
According to the legend of Freemasonry, Huram was murdered by three of his assistants shortly after he completed the bronze work of Solomon's Temple. For some reason, Freemasonry considered this event to be of great significance, and even in Freemasonry This event will be commemorated in the Master's meeting ceremony
In this ceremony, each new master plays the role of Hulan
I saw a description of the relevant parts of this ritual in an authoritative book. This ritual is still performed by Freemasons today: the new initiate is lying on the ground blindfolded and hears the three murderers saying that he will be buried in a pile first. In the rubble, wait until 12 midnight before taking the body out of the temple.
To symbolize the burial of Huran Abif, the new initiate who played Huran was wrapped in a blanket and carried to the side of the room. He soon heard a bell ringing 12 times, and he was removed from the " The gravel" tomb was carried to a tomb dug on a hill "west of Mount Moriah"
Mount Moriah is the Temple
He heard that the murderers planned to plant a honey locust branch on his grave as a mark, and then prepared to cross the Red Sea and escape to Ethiopia.
Today¡¯s Skull and Bones Society and the initiation ceremonies of some elite organizations are mostly like this, which shows the power and significance represented by this secret knowledge and religious inheritance
There are two other coincidences here. One is a small coincidence, that is, the acacia tree branch. Don¡¯t forget that the Ark of the Covenant is also made of acacia wood.
Another great coincidence is that in the legend of Freemasonry, the murderers of Hulan planned to flee to Ethiopia. Although I don¡¯t know how heavy these details are, I can¡¯t get rid of the feeling that: these details Must be related in some way to the search for the Ark of the Covenant
There is a passage in the Bible that mentions the bronze works made by Huram for Solomon's Temple. One of them is: a sea of ??bronze, round in shape, five cubits high, ten cubits in diameter, and thirty cubits in circumferencethe sea is one thick The palm's edge is like the edge of a cup and like a lily, it can accommodate two thousand people.
This "sea" was once placed in the courtyard of the temple. It was a huge copper basin, 15 feet in diameter. When not filled with water, it weighed about 30 tons, and it usually had to be kept filled with about 10,000 tons. gallons of water
Most authorities freely admit that they have no idea what the copper was used for. Only some believe that it symbolizes the "primordial water" mentioned in Genesis. Others believe that it was used by the priests in rituals. For hand washing
None of these hypotheses are satisfactory, and the latter hypothesis seems the least likely, because the Bible makes it very clear: Huram also made 10 small steel basins, which were the copper basins used by the priests to purify their hands. There are tray racks with wheels, each of which can hold "40 pieces" (to be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
