The floor plan: Does it reveal

a temple with a human form?

The First Temple, ie., the Temple of Solomon, Jerusalem

Temple or Jewish Temple, may have been constructed in the

hidden form of a man, i.e., as a human body temple figure.

Its architectural floor plan in conjunction with the layout of

its furnishings reveals a Temple Man composed of three

biblical luminaries: Jacob, the Levitical High Priest, and a

Metallic Messiah figure. All three appear in a single design

with one figure imposed atop the other. The measurements

and description of the Temple (Heb., Beit HaMikdash) are

given in the Tanach ( Old Testament ) in I Kings 6:1-35, and

II Chronicles 3:1-17, which is still our best source of

information about this ancient holy structure (circa 982 –

586 BC ); and based primarily on the above verses, various

Jewish, Christian, and secular sources depict the holy house

as a rectangular building with a triple-tiered row of cells on

three of its sides: west, south, and north, with the entrance on

the east, as shown at right. It should not be confused with the

Second Temple started by King Herod about 20 BC and

destroyed by the Romans in AD 70.

Also, some Jewish sources have tried finding a humanfigure within the Mishkan (tabernacle), see next page.



Importance of tabnit, the „plan‟

The key to the Temple‟s secrets is in the floor plan and layout of its furnishings. The “plan”

or “pattern” (Heb., tabnit ) of its structure and furniture is mentioned I Chronicles 28:11, 12,

19. Tabnit is also translated as design, structure, figure, form, likeness, and shape. Thus, inDeuteronomy 4:16-18 the Israelites are forbidden making any likeness, form, or figure of a

human or beast for worship. In Ezekiel 8:10 the prophet sees repulsive forms or figures of

creeping beasts, but in 8:3 he is lifted up by the form or figure of God‟s hand or an angel‟s

(see also 10:8); and in Psalms 144:12 sons and daughters are compared to choice cut stones

giving shape or form to a palace (see the Jewish Publication Society‟s Tanakh).

Tabnit generally refers to the form of something. King David received Divine inspiration for

the form, i.e., plan or pattern of the Temple; and before him at Sinai Moses heard God‟s

verbal instructions for the form of the Mishkan (tabernacle). Tabnit is also related to banah,

which means to build a structure or house –– or to raise children, since a “house” may also

refer to a family. Thus, in Ruth 4:11 Rachel and Leah, the two wives of Jacob (later renamed Israel), are called the “builders” of the House of Israel. This is tabnit‟s link to buildings,

ordinary houses, human beings, and the human body temple, as shown below.

The High Priest as Temple Man

At left is the Temple Floor Plan transformed into a

figure of the Levite High Priest; and within the figure

are 13 red numbers briefly explained below. All are in

sequence except nine (9).

1. PRIESTS‟ CELLS as a TURBAN1 west side –

Gold and silver bullion, I Kings 7:51, was likely

stored here. These cells form the High Priest‟s head

cover or turban mentioned in Exodus 28:4, 37. The

common priest‟s cap or bonnet, Exodus 28:40, was

more globular, resembling an inverted bowl.

9. PRIESTS‟ CELLS, south and north sides – These

are the arms. Only one ingress is given, I Kings. 6:8,

but Ezekiel 41:11 includes a second.The entrances

correspond to the onyx stones the High Priest wore on

his left and right shoulders. Each was engraved with

the

names of six Israelite tribes, twelve names total,



Exodus. 28:9 -12.

2. TWO LARGE STARS – These are two 10-cubit

tall cherubs of gold plated olive wood, I Kings. 6:23,

28; they are the eyes within Temple Man‟s head,

while the head is the Holy of Holies2 .

3. THE ARK of the COVENANT – This is a gold plated chest with a solid gold cover and

two small cherubs (small stars).The Ark is his nose; and its poles – when attached to its long

sides and drawn forward (I Kings. 8:8) – depict extended nostrils smelling the sweet smoke

from the Incense Altar in the Holy Place.

4. STAIRWAY – A short staircase or ramp led from the Holy Place to a slightly elevated

(six cubits) Holy of Holies.The stairway is his neck/throat and its top is his mouth. See First

Temple vs. Second Temple.

5. INCENSE ALTAR – This small gold plated altar (I Kings 6:22) is national Israel‟s heart ,

and its sweet-smelling smoke is the prayers and spiritual life of national ideal Israel, i.e.,

Israel as she should be.

6. TABLES OF THE SHOWBREAD – On these gold plated tables (I Kings 7:48) were breadand wine, symbolizing flesh and blood , i.e., the humanity of national Israel.

7. THE LAMP STANDS (I Kings 7:48, 49) – Their total number was 10 stands/msenorahs x

7 stems each = 70 lights, relating to the 70 Israelites of Exodus 1:5 (Jacob‟s offspring). This

is national Israel as the light to the world , and the world is the 70 nations of Genesis 10. They

may also symbolize Shabbat (the Sabbath) multiplied 10 times, implying a messianic age of

worldwide rest (meaning peace). For a larger view of them see Secrets of the Holy Place.

8. THE PORCH, Portico or vestibule – This antechamber, the ulam, (I Kings 6:3, II

Chronicles 3:4) corresponds to the human pelvis (hips) and, therefore, procreation through

the male and female genitalia.

10. TEN LAVERS – Five bronze water lavers were on the north and five on the south side,

by the Porch. These signify the ten fingers of the hands. The lavers were for washing the

blood off the sacrificial offerings, I Kings 7:38; II Chronicles 4:6.

11. JACHIN, BOAZ – The large bronze pillars by the Porch were named Jachin and Boaz (II

Chronicles.3:17) and form Temple Man‟s legs. These are two hybrid plants symbolizing

Kings David and Solomon, war and peace.

12. SEA OF BRONZE, TWELVE BULLS – This was a huge basin full of water for the

priests to wash their hands and feet (II Chronicles 4:2). It depicts the twelve tribes of Israelcrossing the Red Sea. Its water symbolizes the God‟s spirit and also his seed.

13. THE SACRIFICIAL ALTAR – This (II Chronicles. 4:1) forms Temple Man‟s feet, while

also symbolizing the metallic King Messiah‟s feet and footstool, as was the custom of that

time, II Chronicles 9:18, Psalms 110:1.

The High Priest’s Garments: White and Gold

The exterior of Solomon's temple was made of the brightest white

limestone blocks. Their color corresponded to the High Priest's

'Garments of White' worn on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.

On the remaining days of the year, however, he wore the 'Garments

of Gold' and these correspond to the Temple‟s gold interior . In his

book, Temples and Temple Service in Ancient Israel (1985), pp.

169- 171, Professor Menahem Haran of the Hebrew University,

Jerusalem, provides some details of how the furnishings of the

Mishkan (Tabernacle) correspond to the garments of the High

Priest. Other scholars have noted this too, and Ezekiel 16:10-14portrays national Israel as a woman (wife of God) dressed in the

furnishings of the Tabernacle, which gradually transforms into the

Temple (v.14).

Jacob’s Dream and the Temple

Jewish tradition tells us that Jacob (father of the twelve Israelite tribes) saw the Temple in

advance in his dream at Luz. After seeing angels ascending and descending on a stairway

(„ladder‟), he says in Genesis 28:17, 'This is none other than God‟s house ...,” and in v. 19

renames the place Bethel, House of God, which is also a designation for the Temple. Later

he changes it again to El Bethel (God house of God) 35:7; and God, in turn, renames him

http://www.templesecrets.info/holyplace.html






Israel, 35:10. As shown below, Jacob's raised head corresponds to an elevated Holy of

Holies and his „pillow stone‟ (28:11) to the Even Shetiyah or 'Foundation Stone' where

Abraham had earlier bound Isaac (22:9 -11). In other words, as he slept – unbeknownst to

him – his head and body became a model for the Temple that was eventually built atop

Mount Moriah by King Solomon (2 Chronicles 3:1). Today this site is called Haram al-

Sharif by the Arabs, and the Temple Mount by the Israelis and others.

Jacob Builds the Temple?

Why was Jacob given the dream at this time? Not solely because he was fleeing the wrath of

his brother Esau, but also because he was on his way to Mesopotamia to find a wife and

create a family, i.e., a “house”. Isaac practically ordered him to leave and start his own family

(Genesis. 28: 1, 2), that he might multiply and become an “company of peoples,” v. 3; and

later it is said his two wives are the “builders” of the House of Israel, Ruth. 4:11. Jacob,

therefore, constructed a human temple, a house of twelve tribes (plus the Levites) and

centuries later these twelve, with hired Phoenician craftsmen, raised Solomon‟s stone temple,

the „House of God‟. Theref ore, the dream concerns the building of two houses, Israel‟s(Jacob‟s) and God‟s.

The Amazing Metallic Messiah



The illustration below at right shows how themetals of the Temple‟s interior reveal the Metallic Messiah. But how do we know the

interior metals have this secondary meaning?

Because their type and order parallel those of King Nebuchadnezzar‟s metal statue below,

which itself symbolizes an unholy, secular messianic world ruler.

For the interior gold plating of the Temple‟s Holy of Holies, Holy Place and Porch, see I

Kgs. 6:20 - 22 and II Chr. 3:4 -10. For the bronze furniture outside see I Kgs. 7:15 - 27, 38

and II Chr. 4:1 -7.This gives the Metallic Messiah a head, torso and pelvis of gold, but hands,

legs and feet of bronze. His silver shoulders and arms relate to the silver plated walls

„houses‟ or „buildings‟ (i.e., priestly cells) of I Chr. 29:4.

However, we remove the western cells – also silver plated inside – that form the turban (as

shown at right) because we are viewing a nude man who is the counterpart of another nudeman, Nebuchadnezzar‟s metallic statue, below. Thus, we compare one nude figure with

another, not a clothed one with a nude one. Also excluded is the Sea of Bronze because it is

not part of the natural human anatomy.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Metal Statue - The account of the huge metal statue that King

Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon saw in a dream is found in chapter 2:1 - 35 of the Book of

Daniel, but our focus is primarily on vv. 31 - 33.

This statue of four metals, v. 31, has a head of gold, arms and chest of silver, belly and thighs

of bronze, v. 32, legs of iron, v. 33, and feet of iron fused with baked clay, v. 33. The clay

counts as one with the iron so that he is made of fourmetals. However, Temple Man, i.e. the



Metallic Messiah, consists of only three metals: gold, silver, and bronze (or copper). These

same three were also in the tabernacle of Moses‟ time, Exodus 25:3, 31:4; 35:5.

The four metals of Nebuchadnezzar‟s statuedepict four successive world empires, symbolizing Man‟s ungodly earthly rule until the Last

Days, Daniel 2: 34, 35. And just as Man‟s rule is summed in one man of various metals, sotoo God‟s forthcoming reign is portrayed by a single Metallic Messiah of three metals. See

also Solomon‟s Cyborg Messiah.

„Messiah‟ is a transliteration of mashiach,which means the

anointed or

anointed one.Jewishkings were anointed by having olive oil – symbolizing illumination – poured on their heads

so that they might know how to rule their nation. Solomon himself was anointed in this

manner, I Kings 1:39, and had prayed for an “understanding mind” to know how to rule, 3:9,

and it was granted him, 3:12. Jewish kings were seen as sitting on the Divine throne and

ruling on God‟s behalf according to I Chronicles 29:23: „Then Solomon sat on the throne of

Yahweh ... ,‟ and also 28:5 where King David says that God „has chosen my son Solomon to

sit on the throne of the kingdom of Yahweh,‟ and that kingdom was national Israel. But King

Messiah – the Metallic Messiah – is or will be anointed with the Divine spirit that he may

know how to rule the entire world, not national Israel only.

.No Proof of Silver Walls?

Concerning the information directly above, someone wrote to another website claiming there

was no proof that Solomon overlaid any walls with silver, totally ignoring I Chronicles 29:4.

Yet all the bible translations I‟ve consulted, both Jewish and non-Jewish, include this verse

with its silver walls. Let us ask and answer, therefore: Is it likely that the “houses” (i.e., cells)

in v. 29:4 above were silver plated? Yes, and here is why.

A potent indicator of their existence is that they follow the pattern (Heb., tabnit) of the silver

sockets of Moses‟ tabernacle, which was constructed at the foot of Mount Sinai centuries

before King Solomon‟s time.

http://www.templesecrets.info/cyborg.html






Keep in mind that everything about the Tabernacle (Fig. A) was portable, including its

foundation. So what, then, was the Tabernacle‟s „foundation‟? One hundred (100) sockets

(i.e., bases) of silver; and these were placed on only three sides: On the south, 40 sockets,

Exodus 36:23, 24, and on the north another 40, vv. 25, 26; but on the west side, v. 27, the

short side of the rectangular foundation, only 16 sockets were needed. This totals 96 silver

sockets. What about the other four? Ah! now it gets more interesting. They were placed

between the Holy of Holies and the Holy Place, v. 36. For what purpose? To sustain the poles

for the paroket, the „veil,‟ a very special Dividing Curtain separating the two holy rooms. A

description of the curtain is given in Exodus 36:35. Hence, the total number of silver sockets

was 100, one socket from each talent of donated silver, (38:27). To complete the rectangular

foundation, another five sockets were placed on the eastern side, the entrance, but these wereof bronze or copper (36:38), not silver, as shown above (Fig. A).

The silver sockets on the south, north and west side

formed a horseshoe like foundation on three sides of the

Tabernacle – as did the priestly cells of the Temple,

compare Fig. A and B above. Also compare Fig. A and C

and note how the four silver sockets of the Dividing

Curtain (blue line, Fig. A) correlate with the priestly

cells that form the shoulders of Temple Man, Fig. C. The

whole Tabernacle is shown at right.



The Temple had 90 or 993

priestly cells; the

Tabernacle had none. But the number of cells or and sockets is not vital. What matters is

their arrangement or pattern and that such a pattern is reproduced in the layout of theTemple‟s priestly cells („houses‟) with silver plated walls, I Chronicles 29:4. This also

implies that the Tabernacle‟s gold plated wooden frame (above at right), Exodus 26:29,

relates to the Temple‟s gold plated walls. The Tabernacle and Temple had similarities, and

the correlation of the silver sockets and silver cells is one of them. The Temple‟s foundation

was of limestone blocks, not silver.

Finally, I have shown that the Temple wasalso in the hidden form of the Levite High Priest;and by law all priests were of the tribe of Levi. In Malachi 3:3 the Lord rebukes the

priesthood saying that he „will purify the sons of Levi (of corruption) and refine them as gold

and silver ‟. Since the central portion of the Temple‟s interior was gold plated, it is perfectly

fitting that its cell walls should be silver plated, symbolizing the priests themselves becoming

as „gold and silver‟ by attaining inward attributes of holiness after being purged of moral

corruption.

1 Mitsnepheth (Heb.), the headgear of the High Priest, is often translated as miter, but a more

fitting word is turban.Mitsnepheth (from the root sanip) may refer to something that fits

around the head, such as a crown or tiara, but also to something that is wound around it, such

as bandage or turban ( see First Kings 20:32 in the Tanakh by JPS or the NIV). The commonpriests wore a migbaah, usually translated as bonnet or cap,from the root term gibaah,

meaning a hill or small hill , either of which resembles an inverted bowl. See Gesenius‟

Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon, etc.

2 This room, a cube of 20 cubits, was the counterpart of the “Holy of Holies”(Heb.kodesh

kodashim) of the Mosaic Tabernacle, but the Book of First Kings calls it debir, instead,from

the Hebrew root dbr, meaning to speak, according to various Hebrew language references,

and which is commonly translated as Shrine, Most Holy Place, Oracle, etc. Debir is a fitting

name because from here Temple Man speaks, thus providing further confirmation that this

room symbolizes the head, which includes the throat and mouth ( the stairway is the neck-throat, and the mouth is the top of the stairway). Oracle is the closest English equivalent to



debir because it may refer to the response of a deity, the place where the deity speaks, or to a

prophet or priest who speaks for the deity. And it also implies that Temple Man may

symbolize a prophet, or possibly even God himself.

3 Based on Ezekiel 41:6, Jewish bibles prefer 99 cells (3 floors x33 cells each), most others

90 cells (3x30). Apparently the Hebrew text allows either view. It seems, though, that the100 silver sockets of the Tabernacle symbolize Abraham‟s age at Isaac birth, while the

Temple‟s 90 silver -clad cells symbolize Sarah‟s age at that same event (Genesis 17:17, 21:5).

Both Tabernacle and Temple were constructed centuries after Abraham and Sarah.
