Apparently, the books of 1 and 2 Kings are the history of the kings of Israel; actually, 1 and 2 Kings were written in the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in the way of being related to God’s eternal economy, which is unveiled and conveyed through typology and carried out by His elect on the earth.
The real Christian life for the building up of the church as the temple of God is a life of the crucified and resurrected Christ as the life-giving Spirit being built into our being so that we are being conformed to His death by the power of His resurrection to be renewed day by day and transformed from glory to glory for His glory in the church.
The glory of God—God expressed in splendor—filled the temple of God, signifying that the glory of God, intrinsically related to the economy of God and wrought into the saints, will become glory to God in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations, and the entire city of New Jerusalem eternally will bear the glory of God, which is God Himself shining out through the city.
The overcomers in the New Testament should be kings who have received the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness to reign in life; in order to reign in life, we need to be under the rulership of the Spirit, and we need to enjoy the presence of the Lord, which includes the Lord’s authority, prosperity, and blessing.
