1 | Temple and No Temple? | Rev 21:22 | Emmaus | 62260 | ||
Mommapps, Perhaps if we look at it this way: Creation is macrocosim of the Jerusalem Temple. The Garden of Eden and Tabernacle of Moses is a smaller scale version of the same, as the Temple in Jerusalem is a mircosim of the world. They are all "temples' erected by God or upon His command as places of worship for his royal priestly people to worship Him. Ultimately His people are incorporated into the Son we become the temple / temples of the Holy Spirit. The Church (the mystical body of Christ) is portrayed as glorified as it descends from the heavens in Revelation 21. There is a lot written on this subject of the symbolism of the various temples. What I have indicated above is a rather gross simplification. If you would like some references to books I will give you some titles. Emmaus |

2 | Temple and No Temple? | Rev 21:22 | Mommapbs | 62262 | ||
Gretings Emmaus! What you have written is kind of my very limited understanding of this subject. I can understand that the Heavenly Temple is "re-created" in various events throughout Scripture, and yes, the reality that we as the Temple of the Holy Spirit is also significant to me. How amazing it will be when the very Temple that we long to look into is in our very midst. I still ponder these mysteries, don't know if other's minds think on such abstract subjects, but this is how God often speaks to my soul, inviting me to "come close." I don't pretend to even have a glimpse of that glory that will be revealed in us, yet I know that it is what God has promised and what we are to long for! I'd take those titles gladly! Thanks for responding. Blessings, Mommapbs |
