The temple was central to Israelite worship, symbolizing God's presence among His people. Solomon's involvement underscores his wisdom and dedication to fulfilling God's promises to David (<a href="/2_samuel/7-12.htm">2 Samuel 7:12-13</a>). The temple's furnishings were crafted with precision, reflecting the divine instructions given to Moses for the tabernacle (Exodus 25-27), indicating continuity in worship practices.the golden altar: The golden altar, also known as the altar of incense, was placed in the Holy Place before the veil separating it from the Most Holy Place. It was used for burning incense, symbolizing the prayers of the people ascending to God (<a href="/psalms/141-2.htm">Psalm 141:2</a>; <a href="/revelation/8-3.htm">Revelation 8:3-4</a>).

This bread was a continual offering, signifying God's provision and covenant with His people. The table's gold construction emphasizes the sacredness of God's provision.

On it (see <a href="/context/exodus/30-1.htm" title="And you shall make an altar to burn incense on: of shittim wood shall you make it.">Exodus 30:1-10</a>) incense was to be burnt morning and evening.

The offering of incense, therefore, pre-supposed sacrifice already offered, and atonement made for sin. To the Israelites it clearly symbolised the offering of an acceptable worship by man, as restored to the love and communion of God. (See <a href="/psalms/141-2.htm" title="Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.">Psalm 141:2</a>.) The priest, as a mediator between God and man, alone entered the Holy Place and offered the incense; the people "stood praying without" (<a href="/luke/1-10.htm" title="And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.">Luke 1:10</a>). To us it symbolises the intercession of the One Mediator, offered for us in the Most Holy Place of heaven, by whom alone our worship ascends to God.
