1 Kings 6
31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors
out of olive wood that were one fifth of the width of the sanctuary.
32 And on the two olive-wood doors he carved cherubim, palm trees
and open flowers, and overlaid the cherubim and palm trees with
hammered gold.
I'd like to talk about the imagery we see in the temple that Solomon built.
One symbol we see repeated is the palm tree. Some regard the palm tree
not simply as a symbol of rest but a symbol of the rest we have received
from Jesus's finished work at the cross. When He died on the cross it was
the final sacrifice which gives us the eternal gift of salvation. "It is finished".
Matthew 11:28
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
