The temples prior       to Christ and pentecost were for God to reside in the holy of holies as a       place of presence for his people.              Consider the professor's concluding paragraph of the article:              "In the very last chapters of the Bible, John writes about his vision of       Heaven after Jesus returns (Rev. 21-22).              He sees an extraordinary depiction of the new city of God, but something is       conspicuously missing. There is no temple in the city.              And why would there be? Jesus is right there with his people. As we look to       the end of the story, what we lost in the beginning is restored. God is       once again dwelling with his people."              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
