What Does 1 Kings 6:35 Mean?
The fir doors of the main hall are carved with the same cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, then overlaid with gold pressed carefully to fit the carved work. The outer doors match the beauty of all the rest.
The garden of cherubim and blossoming trees covers even this doorway, so that everywhere one turns, the same beauty speaks of life in God's presence. The gold fitted exactly to the carving shows patient, loving care in the smallest detail. All this beauty surrounds the way to God, drawing the heart inward toward the place where He dwells with His people.
