Of course believers are the people of God Keras...but even more to the point we are THE TEMPLE OF GOD. There will be no temple built. Consider these passages:But we Christians have become the people of God and it will be us, from every race, nation and language, who will build the new Temple; to the glory of God. Revelation 7:9 shows all of the faithful Christians, soon after they all gather in all of the holy Land, when the Sixth Seal disaster clears all that area.
Ephesians 2:19-22:
19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household,
20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,
21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord,
22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
Peter calls us "living stones" in 1 Peter 2:4-6:
4 And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God,
5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6 For this is contained in Scripture: “Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a precious corner stone, And he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.”
The point is God's temple is His church with the apostles as the foundation and Christ as the Cornerstone. God needs no physical temple anymore...remember Christ said He is the temple, and we are IN HIM!!!
I'm an intermodal truck driver working full time again. A day consist of 12-14 hours. so I peek in here from time to time.Greetings, Ebed; don't hear from you much. I note you still have very fixed beliefs.
Yes my beliefs have become fixed from careful study UNTIL the Spirit shows me different through study. Remember, I once followed dispensational eschatology many years back UNTIL through reading the bible chronologically the Spirit slowly opened my eyes. Yet there is much I still don't grasp...and that I don't grasp I walk softly on.
