The Plans for the Temple
18the weight of the refined gold for the altar of incense; and the plans for the chariot of the gold cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the LORD.19“All this,” said David, “all the details of this plan, the LORD has made clear to me in writing by His hand upon me.”

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
Understand in writing - In some vision of ecstasy he had seen a regularly sketched out plan, which had made so deep an impression on his mind that he could readily describe it to his son. "That the architecture of the temple," says Dr. Delaney, "was of Divine origin, I, for my part, am fully satisfied from this passage, and am confirmed in this opinion by finding from Vilalpandas that the Roman, at least the Greek, architecture is derived from this, as from its fountain; and in my humble opinion even an infidel may easily believe these to be of Divine original, inasmuch as they are, at least the latter is, found perfect in the earliest models; nor hath the utmost reach of human wisdom, invention, and industry, been ever able to improve it, or alter it but to disadvantage, through the course of so many ages."
Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary
All this, said David, the Lord made me understand in writing by his hand upon me,.... Either by an impulse of his Spirit on him, whereby it was as it were written on his mind, and as clearly represented to him, as if he had it in writing before him; though the Jews think that all was first made known to Samuel, or some other prophet, who delivered it to David in writing, as from the Lord: but I see not why it may not be understood that David had the pattern of the temple, and all things relative to it, by an handwriting from the Lord himself, through the ministry of angels, as Moses received the two tables, the handwriting of the Lord, from himself; for the words, as they lie in order in the Hebrew text, are, the whole of this "in writing from the hand of the Lord, unto me, he made me to understand: even all the works of this pattern"; the particulars of which are given before.

See Gill on Ch1 28:10. fear not, nor be dismayed; that thou shalt meet with any opposition in the work, or not be able to finish it for want of materials and workmen, or money to pay them: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; to guide and direct, prosper and succeed; the Targum is,"the Word of the Lord God, my God, will be thy help:" he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee; a promise made to Joshua, and is applicable to every good man in whatsoever good work he is concerned, Jos 1:5, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord; built the temple, and all the apartments of it, and courts belonging to it, and made and provided all the utensils and vessels necessary for the service and worship of God.

(God's Sanctuary) 01 Building Gods Sanctuary
By Bakht Singh3.8K1:18:15Sanctuary1CH 28:91CH 28:19HEB 3:6In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of having a personal and intimate relationship with God. They highlight that while there are many good books, teachers, and scholars available, it is rare to find individuals who truly walk closely with God. The speaker refers to a passage that shows the necessity of this intimate experience with God in order to understand His will, ways, purposes, and prayers. They also mention the importance of serving God with a perfect heart and a willing mind. The sermon concludes with a prayer and the mention of the translation of the message into Tamil and Telugu.
Pattern in Building
By Stephen Kaung8941:18:30EXO 25:91CH 28:111CH 28:19EPH 1:11COL 2:6HEB 8:5In this sermon, the preacher discusses the pattern on which God builds the church. He explains that the New Testament provides a blueprint for the church, starting with the four Gospels which give a picture of Christ from different perspectives. The preacher emphasizes the importance of having a purpose and a pattern when building something significant. He also mentions that the church is both heavenly in nature and touches the earth, reaching out to all people. The sermon encourages believers to have fellowship with one another and to not consider anyone unclean, as Christ has received all who believe in him.
The House of God - Part 2
By Stephen Kaung77959:23EXO 19:5EXO 25:8EXO 25:401CH 28:19MAT 6:33HEB 3:6In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes that in the New Testament, Jesus has restored believers to God's original plan. All believers are now considered priests and are called to live a life of service to God and His purpose. The speaker explains that the church is the holy place where believers serve, and within the church, there are three important furnishings: the golden table of shoe bread, representing communion with the life of Christ; the golden candlestick, symbolizing the need to walk in the light and have fellowship with one another; and the sanctuary, which God instructed the Israelites to build so that He could dwell among them. The sermon highlights the importance of recognizing that everything we have is given by God and encourages believers to willingly offer back to Him as an expression of love.
