Solomon & The Temple

Isa 54:1-2
We've to enlarge ourselves to contain more of God
1 Kings 6:1
480yrs after the children of Israel has left Egypt
Why 480? 48 = worship while 10 = commandments
Solomon's temple is exactly double the size of Moses's Tabernacle = double portion of anointing
Jn 14:12
Hag 2:9
30 (3 times more) = service; Jesus's ministry, the priests in the past only start their service @ 30yrs
