(Matthew 21: 10-13)



And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?  And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.  And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,  And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. (Matthew 21: 10-13)

When Jesus went up to the temple, there were a lot of people doing business. Jesus chased them and said, "Don't make my father's house a business." The Jews ask, "What signs will this show us that you do?" Jesus said, "Let the temple fall, and I will raise it up in three days." The Bible says that it refers to his body that has been templed. The disciples did not know the meaning. This means that this temple is no longer needed, and Jesus will give the true temple.

The disciples realized only after Jesus' resurrection. It is the temple that God is with. Since the true temple has come, the temple, the shadow of God's name, must be gone. When Jesus' disciples were walking with Jesus looking at the temple and talking about the beautiful temple, Jesus said, "That temple will collapse without any stone left."

In the Gospel of Matthew, the disciples who were so shocked asked. When will that happen? And what will happen at the end of the world? Asked. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus said that if you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, realize that Jerusalem's destruction is near. Jesus said to his disciples, "Do you not see all this?" What did Jesus say? That is, "Do you not know the relationship between the temple in this building and Jesus Christ, the temple of Immanuel?"

The building, the temple, is a shadow, meaning that Jesus Christ came as the true temple. That is why the temple, the building, is no longer needed, and the shadow must disappear. Jesus said to the Jews, "Let the temple collapse."

Most church people today don't know the meaning of Jesus saying to the Jews "Can't you see to destroy this temple." Of course, the Bible explains the resurrection of Jesus, but in reality they do not know that the temple building is no longer needed because it is the shadow of the true temple. Even today, people don't know, but could the Israelites know? However, if the Israelites thought this law properly, they must know it.

And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab: for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab.  And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramothgilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram. (1 Kings 8: 27-28) Solomon was built as the temple of God, and Solomon, who built the temple, confesses that "the temple building has only the name of God." Deacon Stephen is talking about the temple, saying, "God is not in the temple building built by man's hands."

This is what the Apostle Paul says when he sees a temple with the phrase "to an unknown god" in the place of Aden and preaches to the Greeks. When speaking of "Jehovah God", the Greeks could not know it, so the apostle Paul described it as "the God who made the heaven and the earth." This expression was also used when preaching to the Gentiles, but if the Jews studied the Bible properly and meditate on the law properly, they would have known that the building temple was the shadow and the true temple would come. So, Jesus is saying, "Can't you see all of this?" Jesus rebukes his disciples, and also the Jews.

Jesus says that you (the disciples) will be the temple of God. As Jesus preached, he entered the region of Samaria, where there was a Samaritan woman who had come back from Jacob's well. When Jesus asked her for some water, the Samaritan woman asked, "You are a Jew, but why are you asking the Samaritan for water?" Jesus said, "If you had known who asked for water, you would have asked me for water, and I would have given you water that was not thirsty." During a story like this, a Samaritan woman asked Jesus, "My Samaritans should worship on this mountain (the Mount Gerizim), and the Jews should worship in Jerusalem, which is correct?"

 Jesus said, "Neither on this mountain nor on Jerusalem, the time is coming when you will worship God." Usually the church people think they go to the temple to worship. It is thought to go to the temple to worship and praise God. According to what Jesus said, there is no God on this mountain, and there is no God on Jerusalem. "The time is coming when you will worship God because God is in you." Without God in you, you cannot worship. In order to worship God, it is right to go where God is. You cannot worship where God is not. That is why Jesus said so.

In other words, "You become the temple." When Jesus died and resurrected on the cross, sat at the right hand of God, and sent the Holy Spirit, even when the saints in Christ are on the earth, the time comes to worship God himself, even if one or all of them become temples. . The saints gather and worship, but if you worship with the Holy Spirit (holy spirit) and the true (truth: word), it becomes true worship. When the Holy Spirit and the Word of God are revealed, and God's glory is revealed through those words, it is worship. If God's teaching of the Holy Spirit makes you aware, you will be glorifying God through the realized result.
