Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1 Cor 3:16.
For you are the temple of the living God 2 Cor 6:16. You are a habitation of God through the spirit Eph 2:19-22.
A temple is a house, a dwelling place of God. God lived in the temple in Jerusalem, as His official residence,
as king and husband of Israel. He now dwells in His people through the presence of His spirit. Through His spirit
He has dwelt within ALL of His called firstfruits from righteous Able to the present. This was done in faith until the
sacrifice of our Lord, that He would successfully make atonement for sin. With the death of Christ, the old marriage
covenant between Jesus Christ and Israel ended and He removed Himself from that physical temple to dwell exclusively within
the hearts and minds of His people.
It is to this temple, His people, that Christ will come Mal 3:1. It is
the temple of His people, those who have His indwelling spirit, those who worship Him in spirit and truth, who are measured
out Rev 11:1. When, for the overspreading of abominations Dan 9:27 the holy city will be given over to the nations (the
times of the gentiles Dan 12:7) for forty two months Rev 11:2. Yes, those who are filled with the oil of God Mat
25:4, will be spared Mal 3:16-17 and will not be trodden under foot along with the wicked! Therefore seek the Lord with
ALL your hearts while He may be found Isa 55:6.
