What Does 1 Kings 6:28 Mean?
The two great olive-wood figures are covered, like the room around them, with gold. Now the guardians too shine, gleaming within the most holy place.
Even the angelic forms are clothed in glory, for everything near the presence of God is made radiant. The gold confesses that all heaven reflects His splendor, shining with a light not its own. So those who draw near to God are changed by His glory, made to shine with what they behold. Nearness to the Holy One leaves nothing untouched by His brightness.
