Temple Cutaway Wall Chart

This laminated wall chart would be excellent in a small class. The colorful charts numbers the articles in the temple court and the black and white handouts give a detailed description of each item. This would allow  the participates to compare the two temples. While the picture shows Herod’s Temple seems to be more elaborate and the Ten Bronze Basins with intricate engravings are missing. The beautiful and overly large Molten Sea (Brazen Sea/Laver) holding 10,000 gallons of water and supported by 12 bronze oxen for the priests to purify themselves is replaced with a smaller looking Brazen Laver. The most holy article the Ark of the Covenant is gone from Herod's Temple and only a foundation stone remains. The addition of place for slaughtering animals in added to the new temple. An outer veil and double folding door to separate the outer courts from the holy place as well the The Veil that separate the Most Holy Place. This is the temple that Jesus would have attended. The Temple Cutaway Wall Chart shows the differences in the building and the holy items within the first temple King Solomon built in 960 BC and the reconstruction done by King Herod in 20 BC expanded the temple complex. The flip side of the chart holds reproducible black and white image of the temples, ten questions, and two sheets of detailed information about the numbered articles in the colorful chart. As a Bible Study teacher for a large group of women, I use PowerPoint and have the large book with a DVD. This PDF files was given to me for my honest review.
