    1 Ki.8:6-8 "Unto this day" (1 of 2)

    "And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of theLordunto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims./For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above./And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day(vv.6-8).

    'Unto this day' The Spirit in using the curious expression which we have come across earlier is applied to a house historically is past. The house of God beginning with the tabernacle in the wilderness is modeled after a pattern existing forever in heaven. "According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it (Ex.25:9)". What were the significance of the two pillars in the porch but it led the eye of the believer to the pillars within? To him the promise of the Son is "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God."(Re.3:12). Church of God is foreshadowed by the church of Philadelphia. every overcomer is part of this pillar.

    The divine Will has never been changed and it is a decree to which what opinion man may have is irrelevant. The Son is the heir of all things to which a day has been appointed. Consequently when He says,'This day have begotten thee', it is to him the day belongs."I will declare the decree: theLordhath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee(Ps.2:7). There is an emblem 'the slain Lamb before the worlds began' and it is established as the Law. Thus pattern of things have been set into the constitution and events are set in motion, which shall never return to God in void. This pattern is what God showed Moses. He told him,"And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them(25:8)".
