Carpenter of Nazareth Was Heavenly Architect—Christ was the foundation of the Jewish economy. He planned the arrangements of the first earthly tabernacle. He gave every specification in regard to the building of Solomon’s temple. He who worked as a carpenter in the village of Nazareth was the heavenly Architect who marked out the plan of the house where His name should be honored. The things of heaven and earth are more directly under Christ’s supervision than many realize (Manuscript 34, 1899).{3BC 1129.1}

Nazarets tømmer var himmelsk arkitekt. -- Kristus var grundlaget for den jødiske husholdning. Han planlagde hvordan det første jordiske tabernakel skulle arrangeres. Han gav specifikationer om hvordan Salomons tempel skal bygges op. Han som arbejdede som en tømmer i Nazarets landsby var den himmelske Mesterkunster, som viste husets plan, hvor Hans navn skulle æres. Himlens og jordens ting er mere direkte under Kristi ledelse end mange indrømmer (MS 34, 1899).
