A temple is a place where God dwells—God’s house. The theme of God dwelling among his people is all throughout the Scriptures. But the Tabernacle was not made like any other temple that was ever built on the earth. Ezekiel prophesied of an even greater temple. But Jesus refers to his own body in John 2:19, when he says, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The temple theme continues in the epistles, where the church is described as “a holy temple in the Lord,” and the believer is told to keep his body pure, as “the temple of the Holy Spirit.” And finally, in Revelation 21:22 it says, “I saw no temple…for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.”
