Since we have been sharing the personal application of Tabernacle and Temple practices of our daily lives and recently experienced the “We are the Temple” conference in Minford, Ohio, with The way Congregation, we at Tristate Messianic Fellowship want to share this teaching we found, which is a written picture from the Scriptures of what Yehovah has said, indicating that he wants a temple not made with hands (Acts 7:48).
The Temple Body
by Jeremy Chance Springfield
In the writings of the New Covenant, most prominently in the letters of Paul, one will find scattered passages where the human body and the spiritual assembly of believers are likened to the Temple. Such discussions are brief forays into a deeply spiritual topic. The idea that the human body could be even remotely paralleled to the Temple wherein the Presence of the Holy One dwelt manifestly upon the earth is an astounding concept in and of itself. In fact, it is so shocking of a proposal that it is never explicitly mentioned in such a manner in the Hebrew Scriptures. Rather, it took the very Word made flesh, the Messiah, to put into words such an intimate thought. He is the first recorded to actually teach such a unique idea, as we see in the book of John 2:19-21, where it says:
Yeshua answered, and said to them, “Do tear down this Temple, and in three days I shall raise it up!” The Jews said to Him, “Forty and six years it took to build this Temple, and you, in three days, shall raise it up?!” But He spoke concerning the Temple of His body.
