Title, Solomons Temple spiritualized or, Gospel-light brought out of the Temple at Jerusalem, to let us more easily into the glory of New Testament truths

Solomons Temple Spiritualized was a companion volume to Bunyans, A Discourse of the Building of the House of God, both works were expositions of the typologies found in the temple.

Of all the wonders of the world, the temple of Solomon was beyond comparison the greatest and the most magnificent.

It was a type of that temple not made with hands, eternal in the heavens, of that city whose builder and maker is God, and which, at the consummation of all things, shall descend from heaven with gates of pearl and street of pure gold as shining glass, and into which none but the ransomed of the Lord shall enter.

Jesus, the Lamb of God, shall be its light and glory and temple; within its walls the Israel of God, with the honor of the Gentiles, shall be brought in a state of infinite purity.

No unclean thing will be able to exist in that dazzling and refulgent brightness which will arise from the perfection of holiness in the immediate presence of Jehovah, and of this, as well as of the whole Christian dispensation, the temple of Solomon was a type or figure.

It would have been impossible for the united ingenuity of all mankind, or the utmost stretch of human pride, to have devised such a building, or to have conceived the possibility of its erection.
