The Lord is in His Holy Temple (1)
For about 400 years, the place of worship for the Israelites was a tent. Perhaps it is better known as the
Tabernacle. Throughout their wilderness trek, during the infancy of their existence as a nation, and during the reign of two of their kings, Israel called a tent their place of worship. Only when Solomon came to the throne did Israel finally have God’s approval to build the “house of God” (1 Chron. 29.2).
And so Solomon built the Temple of the Lord and it was a glorious dwelling. The greatness and beauty
of it is recorded in the Old Testament. It was ornately decorated with precious metals and the finest stones. Tragically, this temple only stood for about 340 years before the Babylonians tore it down. Later Israel would rebuild their temple, but those who had seen the beauty, greatness, and glory of the first temple wept when they realized that the new temple was not as glorious as the first. Herod would come along later and expand on this temple to make his own temple which was very grand
with magnificent marble and gold. In AD 70, even this marvelous structure was torn to pieces, not one stone left upon another, as the Lord had prophesied (Matt. 24.2).
Paul told Christians in Corinth, “God’s temple is holy and you are that temple” (1 Cor. 3.17 ESV, emphasis
mine) and reminded them that “we are the temple of the living God” (2 Cor. 6.16 ESV, emphasis mine). Today, Christians are the temple of God inasmuch as He makes His residence in us; God’s Spirit dwells within us. And God’s temple has always been holy and should still be holy today.
