The eleventh lesson of the Metanarrative of Redemption considers the reign of Solomon as prophetically typological of the consummated reign of the Messiah. The Temple is also considered as both an echo of Eden and a foreshadowing of the future New Jerusalem, which together point to the entire earth being filled with the glory of God's manifest presence. Although both Solomon and the Temple are located within the context of the Old Testament paradigm, they nevertheless constitute an important link in the unfolding of God's mission of redemption, pointing to the fulness of the age to come when Christ returns to earth.
