Moreover he made an altar of brase
2 Chronicles 4:1-10
The furniture of the holy court
J. Wolfendale.
1. The altar of brass. Larger than that in tabernacle. When God enlarges our borders and business we should increase our gifts.

2. The sea of brass. God requires sanctity in all that approach Him (James 4:8).

3. The ten layers. Not only the priests, but the sacrifices, must be washed. We must purify our persons and performances. Iniquity cleaves to our holy things.

4. The ten golden candlesticks. One in tabernacle. Light increases.

5. The ten tables.

6. The golden altar. Christ makes atonement and intercedes for ever in virtue of that atonement.

(J. Wolfendale.)

Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits
The molten sea
Homiletical Commentary.
I. ITS USE. Suggests purification for God's service.

II. ITS SIZE. Suggests abundant provision for purification. A type of the "fountain opened."

III. ITS CONSTRUCTION.

1. The material precious and durable.

2. The oxen, sacrifices of priests, emblems of strength and patience — looking all ways. The blessings procured by a holy priesthood would be universally diffused.

(Homiletical Commentary.)

The First Part
Of the Apocalyptical Commentaries, according to the Rule of the Apocalyptical Key, on the First Prophecy which is contained in the Seals and Trumpets; with an Introduction concerning the Scene of the Apocalypse. As it is my design to investigate the meaning of the Apocalyptical visions, it is requisite for me to treat, in the first place, of that celestial theatre to which John was called, in order to behold them, exhibited as on a stage, and afterwards of the prophecies in succession, examined by …

Sanctification.
VI. Objections answered. I will consider those passages of scripture which are by some supposed to contradict the doctrine we have been considering. 1 Kings viii. 46: "If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near," etc. On this passage, I remark:-- 1. That this sentiment in nearly the same language, is repeated in 2 Chron. vi. 26, and in Eccl. …
