Subject: Temple and No Temple? |
Bible Note: Greetings Ed, no it's not a trick question. As I read through the other verses that mentioned God's Temple, I wondered about the purpose of the Temple in Heaven. I also wondered about how the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb ARE the Temple. Perhaps I am beint too literal in my approach, but isn't a Temple a place of worship, a place of meeting with God? Does this suggest then that we will need no place of meeting in the New Jerusalem? What about worship in the New Jerusalem? Comments? Thanks, I really do appreciate your reply!
