Solomon Is a Type and Shadow of Jesus in His Kingdom (1 Kings 10)

Solomon is a type and shadow of Jesus Christ while he rules and reigns in 1 Kings 10. The splendor and majesty of King Solomon’s kingdom prefigures the splendor and majesty of Christ’s future Kingdom. After Jesus's Second Coming He sets up His Kingdom on the earth and reveals Himself as the true and greater Solomon.
