XI. Of the great Brazen Altar that stood in the inner Court of the Temple.
1. IN the Inner Court stood the great brazen Altar which Solomon made. This is evident, for that when he kneeled upon the Scaffold there to Pray, he kneeled before this Altar, see Exod. 40.6, 29. 2 Chron. 6.13. 2 Kings 16.14. Joel 2.17.
2. This Altar seems to be placed about the middle of this Court, over against the Porch of the House; and between it and the Temple was the place where Zachariah was slain. This Altar was called the Altar of burnt Offering, and therefore it was a type of Christ in his Divinity. For Christ's Body was our true burnt Offering, of which the bodies of the Sacrificed Beasts was a type: now that Altar upon which his Body was offered, was his Divinity or God-head. For that, and that only, could bear up that offering in the whole of its Suffering, and that therefore, and that only, was to receive the Fat, the Glory. Hence it is said, He through the Eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, Heb. 9.14.
