Chapter 1 10 CANDLESTICKS OF THE SOLOMON’S TEMPLE

«Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands,

 He shall destroy them, and not build them up », Psalm 28: 5.

Now we will be transferred for 3000 years ago, in days of building of temple of Solomon. So, November 876 year B.C., year of the termination of construction of temple of Solomon: «And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the Lord … and the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left … », 1Ki.7:49.

«And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left», 2Chr.4:7.

- Ten candlesticks? - will ask some of modern believers, - something here is wrong: we have got used to hear about seven candlesticks. And it is really; in Tabernacle of Moses was the seven lamps candlestick, Ex. 25:37, Num.8:2. Temple of Solomon has existed 415 years and has been burnt in 461 year B.C. After of the Babylon captivity lasting of 70 years, Jews have restored the temple. The beginning of building of the Second temple is fall to 400 year B.C. The Second temple was in building throughout 46 years, John.2:20, and has existed 425 years.

History stages:

1. The termination of building of temple of Solomon - November 876 year B.C.

2. Burning of the Solomon’s temple - August 461 year B.C.

3. Time of existence of the First temple - 415 years.

4. The beginning of building of the Second temple - May 400 B.C.

5. End of construction of the Second temple - March 354 year B.C.

So, in Solomon’s temple there were 10 gold candlesticks. But in the Second temple was the seven lamps gold candlestick. The sculptural image of the seven-candle gold fixture on the triumphal arch in Rome, erected on the occasion of the capture of Jerusalem the Roman armies in 70 year of our era up to now has remained. In all details the Roman soldiers bearing this candlestick as a trophy are visible. Certainly, this image is made from nature. But why quantity of its lamps became for three less, why 7, instead of 10? After all it is told, that Solomon has made the 10 golden lamp stands as prescribed (RSV). «As prescribed».

Yes, so it was prescribed, number of 10, but in the latest temple we see only 7. Where three? The matter is that temple of Solomon is all the same similarity of the heavenly Sanctuary: just as in a worldly sanctuary there was the candlestick, Heb.9:2, so and in the Heaven, in unapproachable light, i.e. in the Sanctuary heavenly before the throne of God burning seven lamps of fire, Rev.4:5. However in the heaven as lamps act seven Spirits, i.e. seven main Angels of God, the senior among which Archangel Michael. The second for seniority is Angel Gabriel. The third Angel is by name of Rafael. A name of the fourth Angel is Ariel that means “God’s light”. A name the fifth Angel is Silophiel. The sixth Angel - Jeremiel. A name of the seventh Roguel. Seven Angels who are coming before the God, are dressed «in jewels», such is reading of the major ancient manuscripts of the Bible: the Sinai manuscript, the Alexandria manuscript and the Bible Latin translation under name Vulgate. Seven Angels are mentioned in Rev.1:4, 4:5, 5:6. They are rather active, burn with spirit, and by the form they radiate light, - both their faces, and clothes. It is impossible to imagine, that in the Heaven there would be a candlestick similar terrestrial: same motionless, lifeless, not spiritualized, with smoking matches. Oh, no, there seven torches fiery, spiritualized, alive! And nevertheless them are seven; but why not 10? Where other disappeared three? For the answer to this question we need to glance deep into centuries, to make original travel to time. May be to sources of building of the Second temple? No, late, as in days of the Second temple was the seven lamps candlestick. Then, may be to the tabernacle of Moses? Too late: during times of Moses’ tabernacle already was the seven lamps candlestick, Ex. 25:31-37. Then where? To sources, to the beginning, to the first verse of the Bible to tell about events of sacred history from the beginning and up to the end, and in chronological order.
