The gold represents the Little Flock, and the Silver the Great Company. "

GOLD & SILVER 2 Tim 2: 20 – “But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. ” KJV HG 752: 4 – “In the New Testament this class is referred to in our text as "vessels of silver, " or less honorable than the vessels of gold, and they are particularly brought to our attention in our Lord's last message to his Church, in which he pictures them as a "great company" in contrast with the "little flock. "

WOOD 2 Tim 2: 20 – “But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. ” KJV HG 752: 6 – “The vessels of earth and of wood are specified as indicating those unto less honor, and to our understanding represent in the future those who will be servants of God on the earthly or human plane. ”

For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread. " So the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died. Then the LORD said to Moses, ”Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live. " So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived. - NKJV

Tabernacle Shadows Preface – “The first edition of this little book was published in 1881, and under the Lord’s blessing seems to have been very helpful to the class for which it was specially intended —the "royal priesthood. " Many of this class have confessed that as the finger of the Lord it pointed out to them meanings in the Old Testament types never before appreciated and that it has thus guided them in the way of self-sacrifice by leading them to see the true significance of the Scriptural declarations…"

Tabernacle Shadows Preface – “…Present your bodies living sacrifices, " "Fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ, " "If we suffer with him we shall also reign with him, " "Let us go to him outside the camp, bearing the reproach with him"; besides many other Scripture statements which associate the Lord’s people with himself both "in the sufferings of this present time and the glory to follow. " “
